Platner: I believe that input from working people is far more important than input from someone who simply has money. I believe that we shouldn’t be settling for crumbs while billionaires eat the cookie we baked.
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.

Six years ago today, August 31, 2019, Brooklyn Center Police officers fatally shot Kobe Heisler-Dimock, an unarmed 21-year-old autistic man, as they responded to a mental crisis call. Kobe's mother, Amity, said her son “was never a threat to anybody but himself” when the police killed him. 🧵
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.

"We can't stick with your facts, they're not accurate." Seb Gorka whines about CNN while on the network. This is the biggest self-own I've seen this month. Total Meltdown.
They Tried to Sneak Out 600 Kids on a Holiday Weekend The government was loading Guatemalan minors, unaccompanied, some as young as 6-7.
So many examples like this
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.

Excellent display of truthful knowledge.
Steven Colbert and his wife appeared in the crowd at the Alcaraz match, and the arena went wild when his face hit the screen. People clearly adore him—and honestly, seeing that joy gave me a surge of hope.
Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.
9 Former CDC Directors who were all qualified for their posts are warning that deranged chaos agent RFK Jr is a danger to public health. I’d say he’s actively destroying public health and committing murder on a daily basis with his destructive monstrous agenda.
Unions shift power away from CEOs to everyday working people and that is a threat to Donald Trump and his billionaire besties. So as you enjoy your long weekend, remember to thank workers and unions and commit to electing pro-union leaders into office.
Jesse Watters: “You weren’t ever on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet, were you?” RFK Jr: “I was on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet two times.” Release the freaking Epstein Files. Believe the survivors and their families. We want accountability.
It’s chalk. The rain would have washed it away. But, DeSantis is so hateful n homophobic that he had to waste tax $$ to show hate towards the LGBTQ community! I say go draw the LGBTQ flag all over Florida to say 🖕🏼 DeSantis! #equality #lgbtq #florida
This man was just Granted Asylum by a Judge and ICE grabbed him up without cause.. This is fuked up..total disregard and disrespect of the Court and the Judiciary .. 😱
“Look, it’s just common sense to consult with the agency that would be most impacted by a decision to pull the clearance of one of their employees,” [Hayden Center director] Pfeiffer said, “especially in such a public manner.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
Police brutality in Alphabet City, NY! All those officers looked like POC. Shame! The kid was probably scared they would kill him cuz that’s happened way too many times! This is why Americans say F’ the Police. I don’t even trust the cops n that’s sad when they r supposed to protect citizens! #ny
This was entertaining; however, it concerns me that these actions could lead to consequences for those inside.
O'Keefe to Noem: "At least 20 people who signed this letter were current FEMA employees & they've been placed on administrative leave. Is it now the policy of DHS that anytime an employee puts their name on something criticizing you or POTUS, they should anticipate being put on leave or fired?"
🚨🏥 AZ Rep Yassansari following up on the conditions in the — for profit prison in Eloy, AZ, holding many green card holders who have committed NO crimes. Video is broken into halves. 1/3 Please share for the world to see.
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. 🤔
If we will never be a Socialist [sic] or Communist [sic] Country [sic], then why are you giving billions of dollars to farmers to make up for losses from your stupid tariffs (SOCIALISM) and having the US government own part of Intel (COMMUNISM)?
“Jobs disappear and the markets cheer.” On Labor Day 30 years ago, I issued a warning the growing divide between workers and the super-rich. Watch. youtu.be/8rW1kkAV-gw

RFK Jr: “If you’ve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kid… you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and they’re completely different.“ This man is an existential threat.

🚨Priest uses his body to attempt to stop ICE vehicles in Broadview, Illinois outside of a detention facility that has refused entry to members of Congress.
The US brought in nearly $30 Billion in tariffs in July, triple the amount collected in previous years That's not good news Tariffs are taxes on Americans That $30B was collected from you and me when we bought food, clothes, electronics...
We keep seeing this exact gaslighting over and over — @RepJohnRose & Sexton also said this to NC5 $1 TRILLION in Medicaid cuts only impacting people who *shouldn’t be on it* + “waste/fraud/abuse” is nonsense Also: if all this fraud exists, why 0 arrests?

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…

This is a genuinely scary freak who has all our personal information and plans to use it. He reminds me of a character (God, not lead) actor but I just can’t place it so far. He’s listening. youtube.com/shorts/LXpc1...
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
Deportations will eliminate millions of jobs held by immigrant AND U.S.-born workers. Who wins? Private, for-profit detention facilities contracted by ICE. #WorkersOverBillionaires
On Wednesday, U.S. Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were working to combat the ongoing blaze in Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. At least one of those firefighters is a constituent from Keizer, OR.
Remember when Trump trotted out an innocent Black child who was a cancer patient, like he was a prop, and then MAGAs pretended to be offended when we didn't celebrate that publicity stunt? Yeah...Trump's fascist policies have defunded pediatric brain cancer research. MAGA wants Structural Eugenics

They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.
