Indivisible Jackson’s 2nd billboard went up today on N. Highland and Demonbreun, facing north. We’ll keep these billboards up as long as we can to demand justice for the victims and accountability for those who abused them. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles @indivisibleguide.bsky.social @maddowblog.msnbc.com
Question… why isn’t the media covering the hundreds of labor day protests across the USA?

Yes!
Did you know in 1890 manufacturing employees worked on average 100 hours a week? It would be decades before the eight-hour workday became real. It took labor activists and labor unions to turn the cry for change into policy and practice. www.americaamerica.news/p/a-labor-da...
Unions are popular but facing decades of decline. We asked photographers to document this unique moment for the American worker. From 2024:
5/ Trump‘s attempt to fire Lisa Cook from the Fed continues. The Fed is insulated by statute from the whims of a president for precisely this reason. Trump wants the Fed to do his bidding, but the economists there are using their expertise, not his need for political wins, to guide the economy.
1/ If you are feeling overwhelmed by the fast paced of legal news, remember that it’s deliberate. It’s a strategy Trump uses, flooding the zone in hopes that people will tune out. Read what you need to know here to get ready for the week: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...
How did Labor Day start? Here’s a history of the U.S. holiday for workers.

After a month of shocking removals, resignations, and a shooting at the CDC, Democrats are demanding that the secretary go.
Trump is militarizing our streets to cover up his failing legitimacy: the tanking economy, the Epstein files, and his wildly unpopular ICE kidnappings. Read our Resistance Toolkit now at bit.ly/resistancetoolkit, and share it widely. LFG rebel alliance! #WeKeepUsSafe
This is the way
Another despicable action by trump
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) said he is making every effort to stop President Donald Trump “from using the military to invade states,” as the administration threatens to deploy the National Guard to Chicago as it has done in D.C. and Los Angeles.
Video shows one man wrapping what appears to be a chain around the neck of one of the brothers, while another man beat him with a stick-like object.
The inhumanity of the trump administration knows no bounds. Keep resisting trump.

We all know Trump’s strategy is to try and overwhelm people so they’ll unplug and he can complete his power grab. Here’s how to fight back. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
“They advocate the removal of almost all public officials and services, increasing the numbers of the armed forces and police, building up the capacity for repression by the powers that be, no longer public, but corporate and business. [DOGE and militia-style police (ICE)] is a trial run of this.”
Moscow has just made of mockery of the US president's plans.
This is great
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
They’re doing all this to prevent people from MEMORIALIZING A MASS SHOOTING
Welcome to the resistance
Welcome!!
Thank you!!!
We should all follow!
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of health and human services, is endangering the health of the American people now and into the future. He must resign,” Senator Bernie Sanders writes in a guest essay.
ICE is holding a man with both physical and developmental disabilities, who doesn’t understand or speak English, and who is nearly deaf at a detention facility in Washington State. Inhumane doesn’t begin to describe it. We can and must be better. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:

Trump & Kennedy, instead of attacking diseases are attacking the scientists who keep us safe, exactly what anyone who watched Trump’s performance during Covid, is familiar with Kennedy’s anti-science views, or read Project 2025 could have anticipated. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/h...

The Constitution is clear: Congress has the power of the purse, not the president. This authoritarianism 101 — pretend other branches of government don't exist and grab power. Trump cannot cancel these funds. Republicans must stand up to him. www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p...
It's important to think about what you will do if a border agent asks for your personal devices well before you head to the airport.
This is called cutting Medicare coverage. Trump and Republicans are using AI to try and cut your Medicare. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/h...

Mike Johnson will go down in history as the white supremacist Christian nationalist Speaker of the House who attempted to cover up a pedophilic criminal regime and replace US democracy with a fascist dictatorship.
“This is our moment to reassert what it means to be American by speaking out and pushing back. The victory of the weak, malignant and unprincipled man is not inevitable.” Great piece.
WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “If a Democratic president were doing any of these things you would be losing your mind.” 🎯
More wasteful trump spending
What a crude human trump is His retribution knows no bounds
@chrislhayes.bsky.social channeling the same level of anger I too feel about this absolute insanity, as well as every other case of the death of expertise on display in this regime. By platforming this crap, it seems Trump and the GOP are wilfully destroying our country.
Shoutout to the National Guard on the Mall today for bravely holding the line…of tourists waiting for photo ops.
This is crazy. Medical experience? None of
Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION Starbucks worker pay: $15,000 Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000 CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker. In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more. The system is rigged.
When Republicans cut Medicaid, they cut funding to hospitals. When they cut hospital funding, they cut critical hospital staff. When they cut hospital staff, it puts lives at risk. Just another consequence of the GOP's Big Ugly Bill.
Insanity here
“The Texas Supreme Court dismissed Paxton’s motion. Paxton was trying to reverse the ruling from an El Paso court that had issued a restraining order against Paxton”

Trump’s Border Patrol raided a Washington wildfire camp, forcing firefighters to pause their work for hours. "Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Stephen Miller and their ilk are going to burn the country to the ground if that’s what it takes, so they can rule over the ashes," says Chris Hayes.

Breaking News: President Trump closed the loophole that allowed shoppers in the U.S. to buy inexpensive foreign items without paying tariffs and completing complicated customs paperwork. Your online shopping cart may soon be affected.
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”
When Bondi was Florida attorney general she was so against gay rights, really outspoken about it. When the pulse nightclub massacre happened she wanted to get up and tell everyone how terrible it was..when she showed up at the memorial service the community was outraged. She is a vile pos.
Breaking News: Texas lawmakers moved to curtail the mailing of abortion medications from out of state, allowing nearly anyone to sue and collect cash awards.
This is beyond despicable
Tulsi Gabbard revealed undercover CIA agent’s name on Twitter. Can we please have a real government?
Corruption in plain sight
If I were charged with a federal crime, I’d hire Pam Bondi’s brother as my lawyer. Because I don’t think this is a coincidence.
So… what does he know?
"It is without a doubt the most illegal search I've ever seen in my life," U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui said from the bench. "I'm absolutely flabbergasted at what has happened. A high school student would know this was an illegal search." unreal quote 😭
Emma Maria Mazzenga, 92, is an elite sprinter. She holds four world records for women over 90. Scientists in Italy and the U.S. are now studying Mazzenga’s muscles, nerves and even her mitochondria to better understand how she’s able to keep running.
Against the backdrop of the devastating war and hunger crisis in Gaza, Israeli travelers have been harassed and accosted in Europe, sometimes just for speaking Hebrew.
Next week it'll be September. So far no sign of Republicans standing up to Trump in any meaningful way.
Donald Trump is purging the CDC leadership and putting in charge the guy who thought RFK Jr. was doing a “great job” after measles cases hit a record high. These fools can’t be trusted with your health.
Trump keeps using the word ‘dictator’ like it’s something to brag about — I don’t know if he really even knows what it means. Let’s be clear: No. Americans do not want a dictator — millions gave their lives to make sure we would never live under one.
I applaud workers at the CDC for standing up against Sec. Kennedy’s dangerous anti-vaccine crusade. We are witnessing a full-blown war on public health from the Trump Administration. History will not look kindly on those who stayed silent in the face of this assault on science.
Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.
“The Biden administration was totally feckless when it came to holding the Netanyahu government to the standard of American law and the standards that we claim to apply to every other country in the world when it comes to the duty to provide humanitarian assistance.” Senator Chris Van Hollen.
All Donald has is lies, projection and threats. West Coast friends, stay strong! And remember to cash your violent protest checks!
To the finance people out there: If you thought Trump will successfully take over the Fed and go full Erdogan. - install a lackey who cuts rates whenever he wants him to - what trades would you be making?
Well said 👏🏼
California Gov. Gavin Newsom went after President Trump for the “blatant hypocrisy” of surging National Guard troops and federal law enforcement agents to Democratic-led cities when, he says, there are higher crime rates in some Republican-run places.
CDC staff held a “clap-out” on Thursday to honor three of the agency’s high-ranking officials, who resigned in protest after President Trump fired the director, Susan Monarez. nyti.ms/4oSxakJ
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
This. And it's not the Proud Boys or the 3%ers, he's going for a force within DOD, but mainly within DHS.
This is insanity. This is the sign of a government that has lost its mind.
What was that saying about glass houses?
I wrote about how more and more Democrats who took thousands from the conservative pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC are now supporting the “Block the Bombs to Israel Act” The House bill’s supporters call it “the litmus test for 2026 midterms” ✍🏽 @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/08/27/b...
RFK Jr. is pushing out scientific leaders who refuse to act as a rubber stamp for his dangerous conspiracy theories and manipulate science. Today, I am calling for a bipartisan congressional investigation into the firing of CDC Director Dr. Monarez.
He also said, “I can do anything I want, I’m the president of the United States.” The man wants to be king, but we became our own country to never again be ruled by one.
Agreed. Keep fighting for us Sen. Warren and thank you
