Dozens of community leaders and unions in Chicago came together to reclaim Labor Day and fight back against the Trump administration’s attacks on the working class! They refuse to stand by while Trump threatens to take over their cities!

"When did we become a country where it's okay for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything – especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation – that we treat this as normal?" Gov. JB Pritzker
These are the exact same papers that spent years cheering on the Conservative party's big new restrictions on the right to protest, the right to strike and the blacklisting from official events of anyone who publicly criticised them

Surely, the decision to hold a military spectacle at that time is just coincidence.
If Nigel Farage really loved Britain he wouldn't talk it down at every opportunity to a bunch of ill informed right wing American fuckwits who know sweet FA about the reality of this country.
OMFG how much of our taxpayer money is going to these god-awful Kristi Noem commercials on TV threatening "illegals" 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
“I’m the problem, it’s me.”
This guy gets it. This is the way.
NYC really doesn’t miss. But that bleach detail? Took me out. 😭
The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.

🚨Regarding the #Pentagon and #SpaceForce announcements: Reps @rokhanna.bsky.social (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) are holding a press conference tomorrow, 9/3, 10:30am, with ten victims of Epstein’s sex trafficking. Link to watch live: youtube.com/live/q6fUosr... 🗣️ Release the Epstein files
And I share it!

Unbelievably irresponsible from the shadow justice secretary and a trained lawyer, no less.
Sure. Trust the former heroine addict who had a brain worm eat what was still left in there.
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that? RFK JR: “I never said that.” KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.” RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March 2024) ht: @cwebbonline.com
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
The CEO is Piotr Szczerek and he deserves to be miserable forever.

It makes me chuckle that even if you sent back every migrant to where their journey began on a deportation flight tonight, not a single far right protestor would be better off, work harder, or notice a single benefit to their lives, other than those they already claim.
“I refuse to accept this is normal.” - JB Pritzker. Amen, governor. Amen.
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
Anyway as I was saying, when they tell us they are very concerned about antisemitism (at Harvard!!), remember this bsky.app/profile/chan...
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."

Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.

Now that Rudy’s out of the hospital and everything, is it ok to start questioning his version about how that car crash went down? Anyone seen a statement from the young woman who was the other driver involved in the crash to get her side?

In Portland today, a roaring crowd welcomed Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, signaling real momentum in his challenge to Susan Collins.
Slimy little jerk.
Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.
Moronic, dishonest arguments being presented by dishonest morons.
Today's ISM survey commentary is fun: "Tariffs continue to wreak havoc" "There is absolutely no activity in the transportation equipment industry. This is 100 percent attributable to current tariff policy. "We are also in stagflation: Prices are up due to material tariffs, but volume is way off.”

I'm glad that @zackpolanski.bsky.social has become leader of the Green Party. I believe his style and emphasis meet the challenge of the moment.

More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.

He's doing this, of course, only to make us respond disgustedly and angrily and waste our attention and anger and disgust on something that doesn't really matter. So move along and don't respond.
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?

Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
As a physician, I know conversion therapy is dangerous and goes against everything we stand for in healthcare. It's abusive and not grounded in science.
Kristi Noem knows the square root of fuck all. An ignorant, bigoted loudmouth who only got her job because she's a fascist-fellater.
All those tooled-up, overweight, out of shape, cosplay cowboys with their guns and masks and mail-order camo kit turn tail and run away when shouted at by unarmed civilians. Great work, Long Beach ✊
America’s vicious cycle: Corporations crush workers to protect their bottom lines, then use their profits to lobby for policies that allow them to keep crushing workers. Labor Day is the perfect time to remind ourselves it doesn’t have to be this way. https://youtu.be/JSralhrpK44?feature=shared

That’s because former Fox host Jeanine Pirro was unable to get the grand jury to indict her, which is conveniently left out here.
The societally optimal level of crime is not zero. This isn't intuitive, but it's true. The cost of getting crime to zero is to strip away all individual freedoms. It's not worth the trade-off.
