Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If workers stand together, they will win. Solidarity.
Thank you on this labor day!!
Dave Matthews band - Trump and everybody in his White House can kiss my ass!
Meet Candon Dahle, Why isn't he not in jail for life? Bingham County Idaho THIS CHILD RAPIST was sentence to 180 days in jail for raping a 7 year old girl for 5 years, part of the plea deal was that he would not have to register as a sex offender. WOW: (white privilege )
Look at what we could have had.
There was another fight last August & not sure if that ever was charged as a hate crime or not? It obviously should have been www.wkow.com/news/crime/i...
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's claim that CBS News edited her interview to hide a criminal's MS-13 gang affiliation is incorrect. The full transcript shows she made the claim. CBS added an editor's note that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has not been charged with gang-related crimes.
Where is the mainsteam media? Anyone out there? Can you hear me???
Photo passed along from a federal employee from inside the Dept of Labor building, where a giant Orwellian image of Trump's face is now draped outside. Big Brother is watching.
📢 TEXAS WORKER WIN: Food service workers at Meta in Austin just voted to unionize with UNITE HERE Local 23! (@unitehere.org) These workers are coming together for respect, job security, and guaranteed raises and benefits. Welcome to the labor movement, y’all!
Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
DESCRIPTION: self-described alpha male, wearing body armor, assault rifle, and wraparound sunglasses because he’s “afraid of nothing.”
I'm going on record. You don't cover up dead. He's not dead. However, he's sick as shit. That you can cover up for a bit. But just a bit. Mostly I hope he feels like absolute shit and is very scared of death. That I can work with.
'Big betrayal': Trump accused of breaking campaign promises by major union
⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵Did you know that Government boarding schools were implemented as a "legal" means to forcibly remove Indigenous children from their families? This was genocide on a cultural level. The children(cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy www.history.com/articles/gov...
Russia tried to assassinate the President of European Commission Ursula von der Leyen by jamming her plane while landing. So far Europe has ignored the issue as to not give Russia the attention it wants and to quietly prevent themselves from reacting to this significant escalation by the Kremlin.
It actually took U.S. court judges, various state judges and the Supreme Court to stop the toddler tot from shipping these undocumented immigrants children and teens to Guatemala secretly.
We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.
😳…is this what voting will be like…😳
Would you leave him alone in a room with your wife or your daughter? Your purse or your wallet? How about your most sensitive personal information? The whole idea of a president is having someone that we can trust. Imagine how America must feel every day - being left alone in a room with him.

Happy Labor Day, Skylights! If you’re able, I hope you’ll spend at least part of the day making your voice heard in solidarity with the working people of this country. Find an event near you!📍 maydaystrong.org www.mobilize.us
Obsessed with the absolute shade of referring to Giuliani as “Former Masked Singer contestant”
They're both lying to you.
New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."
As we celebrate Labor Day, President Trump is rolling back the rights of federal workers to organize unions and collectively bargain. Eliminating these protections is a violation of workers' free speech rights.
India and China fought a war in 1962 over border disputes. They’ve never been allies, which has been to our geopolitical and economic advantage. Thanks to Trump’s insane tariffs the two manufacturing/pharma/tech giants are teaming up, accelerating their rise…and our subsequent downfall.
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?
They voted for him after finding out that Obamacare = PPACA & knowing that the GOP wanted to kill it. Not some of it, but ALL of it. Now he's chipped away at it & their Healthcare & Black lung benefits are to be terminated. WHY DID THEY VOTE AGAINST THEMSELVES? inthesetimes.com/article/trum...
A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.
NEW: Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-must...
Trump's dodging the cameras as much as he's been dodging the Epstein files
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Unions built this city and keep it running. They’ve fought against power and greed to make the impossible possible. Now, they need an ally in City Hall. On Labor Day, the presidents of the Hotel Trades Council, 32BJ and SEIU 1199 make the case at @cityandstateny.bsky.social.
One of the most shocking things to most non-Americans is reading that the parents of the wounded children from the Minnesota school shooting are resorting to ‘gofundme’ to pay for medical treatment (presumably because they aren’t allowed to sue gunmakers/gunsellers).
Not a single developer who invests in this nor tourist who visits will keep their souls. This is the most cursed venture since we colonized the US.
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Republicans: “Stop making everything about race.” Really? White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken. America already made it about race.
GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats
On his first day back in the White House, Trump granted clemency to the rioters who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021. That pardon gave them their freedom and even seemed to satisfy their initial calls for revenge.
It took Donald Trump just one summer to obliterate gains in the American/Indian relationship. Repeating that, ONE summer! www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/o...
Pritzker: "National Guard troops, any kind of troops, on the streets of American city don't belong unless there is an insurrection, unless there is truly an emergency. There is not."
This is worth sharing far and wide. Federal Employees and contractors oral history project. Im not involved in this. Just got the link, idea seems to be to create a record of the assault on the American Repuvlic after Jan 2025. www.fecohp.org
In retrospect, Trump's early move to create a sovereign wealth fund was an ominous sign of his interest in developing a sort of personal piggy bank to hold the proceeds of corporate shakedowns and expropriations [Tad DeHaven, @cato.org]
Honored that Mark is now a Democracy Docket member.🙏 The force of democracy must be with us!!!🥳
This.
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
"'What’s happening at the DNC right now is just farce. If you can’t raise money, you can’t register voters, you can’t put states back in play, and you can’t broaden the tent, I just don’t know what purpose you serve,' said a progressive Dem strategist."
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."
RFK Jr. 😂🤣 🔊🆙
I guess he changed hats and won’t go anywhere near the press for 5 days for no particular reason. Also can’t get any video of him actually playing golf from the usual sources.
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
🚨 “The people united will never be divided!” Happening in OUR nation’s capital today. 1/2
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔

“Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time.” So opens “A Talk to Teachers,” which James Baldwin delivered to a group of educators in October, 1963.
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.
Raddatz: "One of the things that they're trying to do in D.C. with the National Guard is have them back up federal law enforcement." Gov. Wes Moore: "They're picking up trash."
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
Fatality.
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
He can pretend to be dead all he wants. I still want the Epstein files released.
Look forward to Stephen Miller's criminal trial and then life in prison for crimes against humanity.
He jumped that gate like he was a crossing guard, terrible execution. White boy can't jump 😂
