Graham Greene has died. A Canadian acting icon, he earned an Oscar nomination for his role as Kicking Bird in Dances With Wolves. He also won a Grammy, Gemini and Canadian Screen Award, along with the Governor General's Performing Arts Award. He also earned a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.
This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.
Platner: Our taxpayer dollars can build schools and hospitals in America, not bombs to destroy them in Gaza.
The thing I don’t get is the same press that is being kept at a distance from an obviously not hale and hearty president isn’t screaming for answers?
Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.
Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.
It’s time to teach Susan Collins a lesson.
Banning refugees – people whose asylum claims have been processed by a hostile system and found to be legitimate – from bringing family members has one predictable and awful effect: instead of travelling alone, men will bring their wives and children on small boats, and some will drown.
Whatever is in the Epstein files must be pretty bad, because the President seems extremely stressed by its content. 🤔 Tomorrow morning, we push for the release of the unredacted Epstein files, and the impeachment of this criminal president. Join us.
I sorta knew Donald Trump would rather die than release the Epstein Files, but I didn’t think he meant it quite so literally.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
What a gang of mindless amateurs in Washington accomplished in Beijing:
On September 1, 2025, we lost a true legend. Graham Greene, Oneida from Six Nations Reserve, walked on at the age of 73. Over the span of more than 175 acting credits, he gave us characters that were unforgettable, complex, and real. redpopnews.com/remembering-... #redpopnews
Big opening for, say, Brad Lander www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
Yes after I had saved the orphans I went back to my car where I informed the cheering crowd that I was more legally sober than any man on earth, and drove away. That’s when the unfortunate event happened.
Dump’s Pardons of January 6th Insurrectionists are Null & Void, as the President is not granted the Power to Pardon People in cases of Treason Appoint me to the Supreme Court, as I clearly know more about the Intent behind the Constitution than the Old Fart Traitors current serving #SAD
RFK jr's cult beliefs in no way supersedes anyone's right to prevent death or disease in their self or their family. Full Stop.
Hard feels today…✌🏽💜✊
NEWS: Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler, 78, will not seek re-election
This week, Oversight Committee Dems are meeting with many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. We will listen to their stories and continue our work to seek justice against anyone responsible for these horrific crimes.
A comfortable life used to be the American Dream. Not being a financial mogul. Not fighting for the top spot on the food chain. Working to get your share of the pie with the whip cream on top. Grabbing enough food to fill your plate, but leaving plenty on the table for others. Let’s do that again.
Good catch. And his smile isn’t right. Way too toothy.
Oh shit
📌 Nice to see D.C. show up day after day. ✊🏼 Power to the people!

Good news. The House of Representatives stands behind the NIH budget with no cuts.
Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
Sad news about Robert Mueller.
OK who did this?💀😂
A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
Some new street art spotted in DC 🤣
I love this guy
Pope Leo XIV prayed publicly on Sunday for the victims of the shooting at a Catholic school in Minnesota and called for an end to the "pandemic of arms, large and small."
RALLY!!! Something needs to be done or we're done! RFK Jr is a danger to the American people! What is it going to take?? Lives can be lost...Disease can spread...WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET THIS THREAT OUT OF OFFICE?!?!? And, yes, this is from FauxNews.. #Pinks www.foxnews.com/politics/ber...
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
Thank you, Congressman Nadler! Now, can you speak your fellow elders who refuse to budge?!
Congressman Jerry Nadler would more than likely have been reelected to an 18th full term in Congress. He's long had the support and confidence of NYC voters. Instead, he's passing the torch and doing his part to center and strengthen the next generation of Democratic leadership. (thread)
Thank you!!!! Doing the right thing!
NEW: Nadler will not seek re-election, citing the need for a new generation of leaders. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
God damn is he good at this
💯
I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries. These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!
Nearly got mowed down by a Black Mercedes with Virginia plates driven by a guy in a mask on 14th St who I swear was going at least 15-20 miles over the speed limit and ran two or more red lights.
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
Thank you on this labor day!!
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
Scoop - Ursula von der Leyen's jet was hit by a suspected Russian GPS interference attack while attempting to land in Bulgaria yesterday, officials told the FT, forcing the pilot to ultimately land using paper maps. on.ft.com/4oZFHST @financialtimes.com
"The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has called for universal background checks, a federal gun-trafficking statute, extreme-risk protection orders, limits on high-capacity magazines, raising the purchase age, and banning assault weapons."
Conspiracy theories are the connective tissue of fascism. RFK is fighting the imaginary deep state that brought us vaccines, fluoride, and the rule of law.
Pope Calls For End To 'Pandemic of Arms' After Minnesota School Shooting
One of the weirdest statements you will ever read.
Even Grok isn’t buying it Tariffs are a tax on you
Obsessed with the absolute shade of referring to Giuliani as “Former Masked Singer contestant”

Why is the @nytimes.com planting seeds of ambiguity where none exist? Under the U.S. Constitution, presidents have no role in running elections, certifying results, or appointing election officials. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
"Donald Trump is a dictator – and we are further along the road of authoritarianism than people want to admit." Marc Elias
RFK not believing in germs and now being in charge of public health is one of those things that the writers would nix from VEEP for being too outrageous.
We are all the CDC this week. My weekend Substack community issue. Check it out and, if you’re interested, consider joining our Social Contract Community. Thanks.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...
Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art
what a nightmare, to flee a domestic violence attack & flag down a passing car & out pops Rudy Giuliani — not that there’s any reason to believe that’s what actually happened
Exactly. It doesn't give him implicit authority, either.
“in six months sec. kennedy has undermined 60 years of vaccine preventable diseases in this country.” dr. tom frieden frmr dir of CDC let that sink in-the damage this regime has inflicted on us.
This is not what America is. It’s not. And we must make this very clear when we vote in 2026.👇
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders wants RFK Jr. under oath. He’s demanding a special Senate hearing on the CDC disaster RFK Jr. helped create. Go Bernie!
He starts randomly jabbering on about getting into heaven. Mysterious bruising on his hand. He disappears from the public eye for days. Even a child would suspect something was up. Everyone but Congress and mainstream media.
The biggest news story in the news right now is that the president of the United States hasn't made a public appearance or spoken to the protective pool in four days and the White House is actively lying about his activities, yet no news organization is covering it.
A judge dismissed the case, finding no probable cause after Florida police arrested a man as part of Ron DeSantis’ crackdown over rainbow chalk ark memorializing the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Mass shootings stem from a nation built on violence. The U.S. was founded on the genocide of its Indigenous population, land appropriation. Its history includes the enslavement of African Americans, forced religious assimilation, discriminatory laws, and numerous acts of oppression.
They're moving in an ideological direction & want to see the undoing of vaccination. Daskalakis disagreed w/ changes to recommendations on who should get a new COVID-19 vaccine this fall, w/ new dosage creating confusion & uncertainty for those who want the latest shot. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
Robert Mueller was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2021. We’re just learning about it now because he was asked to testify in the Epstein matter and won’t be able to. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."
Creative writing prompt: Make a simple press statement about a car accident sound suspicious on at least three different levels.
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
AP: “Florida could be on the hook for $218 million… Alligator Alcatraz may soon be completely empty as a judge upheld her decision late Wednesday ordering operations to wind down indefinitely…” apnews.com/article/flor...
www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6GvjPcr/ How in the HELL does any government lawfully deport 600 unaccompanied minors? Who does that? Who the fuck are we? What are we? What have we become?
Hey Sen. James Lankford, stop your Orwellian doublespeak. We're not "jumping to conclusions" – RFKjr is a dark tetrad. He knows nothing about human healthcare. He's systematically trying to cull the American public. Remove him from office. Immediately.
Mark Zaid, an attorney who is representing Eisenstat and several other people on the list, said the revocation of the security clearances “literally has no rhyme or reason” and carried echoes of the McCarthy era. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
If we don’t stand up for these victims, who will ?
Pretending eugenics and fascism are in no way related is like being aggressively ignorant in public
