On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

Shouldn't they be picking up trash or mulching? Lazy.
I went out for a bit, did he die yet?
Unfortunately I don't trust wyt men in either party anymore. We've seen too many run as Democrats then turn out to be Republicans.
Rudy Giuliani was seriously injured in a car accident. I hope he gets the same expert medical care that he would wish for a disabled transgender immigrant.
Absolutely bs.
He absolutely was not helping anyone, let alone a woman.
I'm guessing by a lack of texts he's not dead yet.
The past 12 hours gave all of us a sense of just how huge the nationwide celebration will be when he finally does kick the bucket. 🎉🥳🎊
He does have a Nazi Hitler haircut...
www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6sc1pNA/ All of this. I am sick of performative bullshit from Dems. They don’t fight when it matters.
Republicans wasted millions on their Nazi camp while keeping food, medicine, and vaccines away from us.
Someone really needs to investigate the suspicious death of RFK, Jr's ex. She did NOT end herself.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
I feel like those people are just getting the old booster.
Is the updated 25/26 covid vaccine available now? I thought they said late September but I'm seeing a lot of posts by people getting it.
DOGE isn't fighting fraud — it's potentially exposing Americans to more of it. And now a Social Security Administration whistleblower is resigning after apparently being punished for trying to warn the public. Nothing about this fake government agency is "efficient."
Someone should make sure his father's history repeats itself with him.
The wrong Kennedy's were removed from us. I don't care if he was a kid when it happened, they took the wrong ones.
It's Friday and a holiday weekend and the world is a dumpster... let's go with all that haha.
Idiocracy is a documentary now.
I know it’s tired to bring up “if Obama did it” but just imagine if he had sent the National Guard into republican cities that hadn’t asked for them
If you are a wealthy criminal defendant, it makes sense under this administration to hire the AG’s brother to represent you.
HELLO I AM A SEMI-HAIRLESS MONKEY CAT OTTER WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR ME PLAY BAGPIPES
Thankfully you know me enough to question what was wrong with me lol.
Prosecuted ugh. Typing and I are not working out well today.
Oh I agree the cops need to face consequences but something tells me they wouldn't be pulling the gang excuse if they were white. Either way, cops who murder need to be protected.
How not surprising they're trying to claim that.
Reminder that Johnson bought a teenage boy under the guise of adoption then ditched the child when he got too old.
Oops that was supposed to be He lol.
Republicans and Christians love killing people.
I am so tired of hearing all the stupid shit coming out of the US. Now I have to listen to PP spewing shit up here too. Come on Canada, can't we muzzle that moron.
H needs to decease immediately. A rotting corpse.
How can I help?
The recently selected chair of a North Carolina county Board of Elections was charged for allegedly drugging ice cream from Dairy Queen with MDMA and Cocaine and giving them to his two grandchildren
I suspect that will change now that worm-rot boy fired the only competent cdc person.
So I guess we're now not getting a new vaccine? He needs to choke on his rotten whale meat.
Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
If only we could go back in time to 1968 and switch which RFK left us.
😈
Haha. I have flashbacks to misdialling the last number and having to start all over again.
Kidnap and traffic Republicans to the Titanic.
And he was definitely entitled.
I hate to be grateful for having asthma and autoimmune stuff but I am now if it gets me the new shot.
If prayers worked....it's the guns.
Okay, I'm not old but I am so sick of everywhere using touchscreens for everything from ordering coffee/food to checking in for appointments.
And the mental illness excuse only applies to white men.
Your periodic reminder that people who blame “mental illness” for every mass shooting want to make it easier for people to get guns and harder for people to get mental healthcare.
Republicans are murderers. All Republicans are murderers.
Death to Nazis.
Has anyone told the elderly that headphones exist for phones?
Kill the goddamned fascists. This is really easy, America!!! Fucking kill the Traitors.
They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year. They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.
I switched to non affiliate in November for this very reason. It sucks in PA because I can't vote in primaries. Hmmmm....or switch to Republican and fuck up their primaries 😈
Bet she's not going to arrest all the Republicans who do that daily.
They need to sue the PA REPUBLICANS not Septa. REPUBLICANS did this.
You know what triggered the storming of the Bastille in 1789? The threat of the king's troops being deployed in the capital. Just saying.
GOV. MOORE: “The president seems to be obsessed with me — today he called me a ‘beauty’ and when I first met him he talked about how I was a good-looking guy.”
If you’re mad at poor people buying snacks with food stamps but not at Elon for dodging taxes - you’ve been brainwashed.
You did it! Thank you for voting. Democrat Catelin Drey has flipped an open Iowa state Senate seat, raise a glass! This victory means Republicans no longer hold a supermajority in Iowa.
Can be but never seem to be.
If you’re an American, you need to be worrying less about saving for retirement and more about creating a substantial emergency fund with a not insignificant portion readily available to you either as cash or in a local bank. You’re living in an oppressive regime. Pack a go bag. Have a plan.

Taylor is breaking the internet again. 😁
My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
No worries. 🫶
Moi? 😇😇😇😇
Cigna is about to meet the next Luigi and I'm so here for it.
If I stop to pick up champagne for 'the day" am I jinxing him to live forever?
Please, yes, soon.
Seriously.
This is how you stand up to bullies and aspiring tyrants.
Forget justice, I just want him dead.
Haha so true
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
When I was a kid I loved Charlie's Angels (the TV series). Tried watching it the other day. 😬 The 70's was definitely an Era...
Seriously. I get one or two special things for the die-hard fans but it's like every other day there's a new limited edition version.
I love Taylor, really, but she really needs to stop with the 20 'limited edition' versions of every album and every song. It scream greed.
😈
Thankfully I already have a walking boot because I'm injury prone but not convenient for such things as driving and functioning at work.
How can we opt out of paying federal taxes?
Tyrants govern through fear. Dictators take their power from the acquiescence of the good people who don't speak out. It is our obligation as citizens to set aside fear and take a step forward not a step back.
I think that's what this is because I was doing a lot of stairs last month at home with everything going on then went into a job that's a lot of standing and walking on asphalt. It's starting up the achilles now. Ugh. The pain level!
Not me ignoring sudden heel pain for nearly 6 weeks until I can't put weight on it and need a rush visit with a podiatrist (earliest appt next Thursday unless my referral comes through sooner and I can do the ironically named walk-in clinic they offer daily).
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
He was 100% a rapist and pedophile.
The one employee at the Starbucks I'm at is in a mood. She probably should have called out. She's snapping at everyone including the other employees. They aren't understaffed here today.
She 👏 told 👏 you 👏 so 👏
I'm taking notes and looking into a kayak.
Is he dead yet?
choose to fund Israel while defunding critical services here. That has lifted the veil, and once lifted, it cannot be replaced.
www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6qe25yu/ Israel has been manipulating the narratives and controlling US politicians for decades. This is honestly the first I can ever recall Americans seeing the clear distinction between Israel’s interests and those of the United States, while also watching our politicians
It’s so telling that every time a tech oligarch speaks about opportunity for young people it is just “founding a company” and “making a billion.” No family, no friends, no higher purpose. Just soulless greed. They used to claim to strive for something deeper. www.instagram.com/reel/DNiC25n...
Did you know there’s a special election THIS Tuesday in Iowa that could break the GOP super majority in the Iowa state senate? I had no idea. Just saw it on Tik Tok. Now…just out of curiosity, do you think the DNC should have rallied national Dems to support this election?
