Carbondale? I was there today.

Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If workers stand together, they will win. Solidarity.
Illinois is now the number one state in the Midwest to work in. This ranking reflects our work in making Illinois the best state in the nation to do business, raise a family, and thrive.
Happy Labor Day, Illinois!
It's that time of the year again — welcome to the 2025 Du Quoin State Fair! There's still time to visit! As folks come from near and far in search of a blue ribbon prize or the next fun adventure, I just want to say: thank you for making this a part of your summer once again.
Thank you. Had a blast at the fair yesterday.
Rebuild Illinois is one of the initiatives I’m most proud of. Why? Because communities across the state, like Du Quoin, can experience the direct impact of revitalized fairgrounds, newly paved roads, remodeled buildings, and more. www.kfvs12.com/2025/08/28/g...
Happy Labor Day! For over a century, Illinois has been the epicenter of the fight for workers’ rights. Working families are the bulwark that has made our state the 5th largest economy in the nation. Today, we celebrate workers and their leadership of Illinois’ success.
Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
Damn! 😡
Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.
So...I've been at a protest. Is the orange nazi still kickin'?
Turley Park Carbondale, Illinois #WorkersOverBillionaires #Resist
Well, thank you Coach. Just got home from the protest. ✊️✌️
✊️✌️
We're here speaking up and out. Carbondale, Illinois.
Turley Park. Where I'm protesting at today.

here's today's post: "Illinois governor, hero. puppy assassin, zero." — a tale of two TV appearances. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —
Hey Vicki! 🦋☀️💙✌️
Thank you! 😁
Today, we carry forward the legacy of countless brave individuals who began the fight for workers' rights long ago. Billionaires are destroying democracy, but they are the few—we are the many. This Labor Day, we show how we fight back, by building people power. Find a protest at MayDayStrong.org.
Good morning, y'all. ☀️☕️ Happy Labor Day! Check out this new shirt my son bought me at the fair yesterday. I LOVE IT!!! A great time was had by all. Off to my local protest this afternoon. Have a great day, everyone! 🫶✌️ Yes...I'm old and wrinkly cause I know you bitches are zooming in on that neck. 🤣

Cheers, Vicki! 🫶✌️
Gladly my friend. 💙🫶✌️

Give him time. 😉
🎶 Look what I got at the fair 🎶
USAC Silver Crown car in front of grandstand. They raced yesterday.
Pritzker on Trump's authoritarian takeover: "The playbook is the same. It's thwart the media. It's create mayhem that requires military interdiction. These are things that happen throughout history and Donald Trump is just following that playbook."
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
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."
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."
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."
😄 Yep. Only 23 miles.

DuQuoin State Fair. Illinois has two. Long story. ARCA race on the Magic Mile. Under the lights!
Ok...I'm going to the DuQuoin State Fair today and get away from this insanity but we must not stand for this. The gaslighting, propaganda, lying bullshit has got to stop. Go to your local protest tomorrow if there is one and if you are able. I'll be at mine in Carbondale, Illinois.
I have my food list. Ribeye steak sammie from Illinois Beef Association. Pork chop from Illinois Pork Producers, a Joanies cheeseburger and cinnamon roll, steak on a stick and egg roll, funnel cake, corn dog. Yes. I can eat all this. I'm there for the day and evening. ARCA race under the lights.
Good morning, all. ☀️☕️ Guess where I'm going today.
Thank you. From the bottom of my heart

This picture reminds me about when in 1997, Trump said in an interview that “avoiding HIV is like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave solider,” Private Bone Spurs and the MAGA Moron Militia.

In the United States, there are nearly 1,000 billionaires, all of whom enable the Trump regime. But there’s also 350 million of us—the people—and we have over 1,000 protests spread across the nation in protest of billionaires. Join the war room for the working class: @solidaritydept.bsky.social.

I believe that part of you is correct.

“You cannot pretend as if he did not try and stay in power the last time he lost an election. That actually happened.” Abby Phillip & @mizzwelch.bsky.social refuse to let the Republicans on the panel pretend Trump is not a threat to our democracy. 🇺🇸
ILLINOIS - @govpritzker.illinois.gov : “Trump doesn’t seem to understand it’s actually Republican states that have the crime problem.”
GOV. WHITMER on marriage equality 🏳️🌈 attacks: “Treating people equally is a Michigan value… LGBTQ+ Michiganders make our state stronger, better, and more vibrant.”
Some perspective…
Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
While I'm all for that glorious day when we hear the glorious news that he has left the earth, don't fool yourself into thinking that will change things. Couch fucker has been the pick for the dictatorship from the get go. And he's smarter and more dangerous. Orange nazi was used to form the cult.
If what we hope will happen ever happens, we'll watch as many, many people in the world of politics, overnight, go on to pretend they were always against what preceded it. This era has been a highly effective acid test for character. Take notes now, so that you don't forget in the future.
Welch: The people that elected Donald Trump are the people that he's punishing the most with this stuff. And you guys, if a democratic president was doing this, would be going bananas. You guys would lose your minds.
So good
I told my friend basically the same thing. We should file a class action for mental cruelty on a day to day basis.
If I could draw - and no, I refuse to use AI - I would do a cartoon of RFK Jr laughing maniacally as he drives away from the White House with Trump's corpse lashed to the roof of his SUV.
Dedicated to y'all
Lovely
NEW: The Texas legislature passed an anti-trans bill which restricts restroom use in public buildings across the state. Instead of addressing residents' needs like disaster relief, Texas politicians used a special session to attack trans rights. Our communities deserve better.
me after the tariffs are struck down as illegal
Sing with me
🤣 Kathy with that quick no. Safe travels to you both. ✌️
Yep! That's for sure, Coach. What dumbasses.
i assume he was quietly transferred to another server
It’s almost time to start watching white women in cable knit sweaters fall in love with the handsome man from their hometown who’s wife just died and left him in charge of the rundown bed and breakfast they bought before her tragic death. Little Timmy needs a new mom and Madisynn will do just fine.
😂
Historical Perspective
I do too. Love ya @heatherthomasaf.bsky.social
Hi to our friend @heatherthomasaf.bsky.social miss you
Little Big Horn
It's madness. There is NOT one reason for this. Are we saving a few bucks but losing every child? This is not a government by, of, and certainly not FOR the people. None of this is legal, normal, right, or even rational. It HAS to stop
20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. I chose these pics because it is what I remember the most. With the current administration, and what they've done to FEMA, I fear how the next disaster of this size will be handled. Or any for that matter. 😔💔
Good morning.☕️
