A missing boy wandered onto Hersheypark’s monorail tracks — 100 feet in the air. 😱 One Pennsylvania dad didn’t think twice: he climbed up, grabbed the child, and carried him to safety. A story of instinct, courage, and relief.

Playing by the rules when the GOP cheats won’t save our democracy. I say use the GOP’s tactics against them. Newsom built in a review after the election that would restore the districts to their original boundaries. Abbott’s are permanently meant to silence people of color.
Debbie Reese, one of the most prominent reviewers of Native children’s literature, just spread incorrect information about Indigenous people in Texas. She wrote, “But, the state of Texas does not extend state recognition to anyone.” This lie’s been used to erase Lipan people fighting for recognition
Countries on track to eliminate cervical cancer: -Australia by 2028 -Sweden by 2027 -Rwanda by 2030 -UK by 2040 -Indonesia by 2030 -Bhutan 2030 -El Salvador by 2030 -Canada by 2040 How? HPV vaccine. Same one RFK Jr is trying to ban. You will note USA is not on this list.
If the CDC was going to publish these guidelines its scientists had an obligation to review the evidence behind them. But HHS officials rebuffed repeated requests. “The answer was no—they declined to share any of the materials that they were using to support that decision…CDC has never seen it.”
It’s time to teach Susan Collins a lesson.
Scoop - Ursula von der Leyen's jet was hit by a suspected Russian GPS interference attack while attempting to land in Bulgaria yesterday, officials told the FT, forcing the pilot to ultimately land using paper maps. on.ft.com/4oZFHST @financialtimes.com
Agreed.

Y’all Remember This? 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾😳 Funny how he flipped the script!
Rural communities and people with disabilities will have even more limited access to health care. Families with low incomes who rely most heavily on community clinics and health departments will have fewer resources available to them. Children will lose access to lifesaving vaccines due to cost.
Thank you Denmark for leading the way.
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
Absolutely true! Not everyone has a mansion to hide away in, with servants who put themselves at risk to buy their groceries etc. But everyday workers, many doing what most consider menial jobs, kept us going despite the risks. And many didn’t get hazard pay for it either.
30 cases of voter fraud annually, and the GOP passes 104 voter suppression laws. 47,000 gun deaths a year, and the GOP does absolutely NOTHING.
Here’s where and when protests against President Donald Trump and billionaire-influence over politics are expected to take place on Monday, organized by the AFL-CIO and dozens of partner organizations.
OMGosh what a gorgeous shot!
That’s encouraging.
Hard feels today…✌🏽💜✊
Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.
Way to rise up San Diego Labor Day ✊
I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries. These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!
Every ICE official that refuses to ID themselves, show their warrants, deports without due process must be prosecuted for violating civil rights when we get power back. And we will. They can't "weekend at Bernie's" forever.
This is Felon47’s America folks. He’s already rolled back the clock and we’re living in the 40’s-60’s 😡
Gorgeous shot.
This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.
Just sayin’.
True

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.
Yup, you voted for hate. You voted for retribution. You voted for white supremacy. You voted for someone who trashed our economy the last time he was in office. Not a single one of you can honestly say you didn’t know what he would do, or what you were voting for this time. Shut up & own it.
I agree.
I take my granddaughter out to our backyard to sing her to sleep on nice evening. The hummingbirds, black capped chickadees & crows all come & listen, & sing along now. It’s pretty special.
You have over 5k likes. That’s not a void. Taking beautiful photos or videos of wildlife is never a waste of time regardless of whether anyone else appreciates it. It enriched your life, that’s what matters.
Corporations have proven repeatedly that they can’t be trusted to do the right thing by their employees. Fair wages, humane work weeks, health benefits, time off are all hard fought for rights. If left to themselves, they treat us like disposable garbage. That’s what the GOP is fighting for too. 😡
In China, EVs are now cheaper than gas cars, per FORTUNE

You can tell he’s done this before 😊
He will tarnish the Kennedy name for generations.
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...
True. We lost our democracy long ago when SCOTUS ruled in favor of Citizens United back in 2010. It’s been crumbling in decay since then. Others tried to warn us, but now the effects are so clear, & Republicans want us to believe it’s too late to stop it. They’re wrong. We the people have the power.
I was a Republican for almost 40 years before I switched parties. So I know it can be done. But with someone who has a high profile like yourself, what do you suggest to make others in the GOP come to their senses? I think folks who aren’t MAGA Republicans need a new Party. Republican=Fascist now.
Were you to ask Leavitt etc, they would identify themselves as patriots whose beliefs rest on the country’s foundation. But with their talk of demons and evil, they are framing reality in a way that would justify Donald Trump’s campaign for fascist power. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/tragedy-br...
They have no shame.
Nope. He cut his security detail a couple of months ago. And I thought he cut Pence’s too, but according to this list he didn’t.
This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.
Oh come on God! If they tell us it was a hot dog that he choked on, you know what we’ll all be thinking what it really was. And we’ll probably be right. 🫤
When I was an Amazon driver, holidays weren’t really holidays. Nobody gets paid holidays. If the holiday falls on a day that you’re regularly scheduled, you have to make up that day to get your regular weekly hours. Would it kill the company to give everyone real paid holidays? Happy Labor Day.
Most Republicans in power aren’t opposing Trump because: -They benefit from his dismantling of norms, which clears the path to push policies they’ve wanted for decades. -They fear his base, and silence protects their careers. -They agree more than they disagree with his authoritarian approach.

They already had the kids loaded onto the planes,hoping to leave without US citizens knowing . . .right on brand for this POS.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
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.
I honestly don’t see the revolution being peaceful, sorry. And I think it’s going to be a MAGAt who takes Felon47 out. They love their guns, & they don’t like being called stupid (even though they are in fact stupid). That’s my prediction.
Did you know in 1890 manufacturing employees worked on average 100 hours a week? It would be decades before the eight-hour workday became real. It took labor activists and labor unions to turn the cry for change into policy and practice. www.americaamerica.news/p/a-labor-da...
You know all those slasher-horror movies where they go in the haunted house or down the basement? And you scream, "OMG, how TF could they be so dumb!?" Yeah, well – that's America right now, with RFK jr as the head of HHS, including the CDC, NIH, etc. No good endings. Insane AF.
‼️Censorship Topics MegaThread I'm putting all posts & quotes relevant to the recent government & online censorship efforts here for people to reference, fight back, and find out news about. #censorship
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
Hey GOP: You are killing the economy with your policies you dumba**es. Who do you think is going to pay your rent and buy your goods after you wreck the economy? The Middle Class literally supports you and your yachting lifestyle and you are crushing us. Wake TF up.
I keep waiting for him to get excommunicated.
I started boycotting Nestle years ago for this very reason. Sure wish more people would get on board with that plan. Those bastards are ruthless. And the elected officials who continue to let them get away with this deserve jail time.
Dude is lucky we don’t know exactly where he is or he’d be running for his life!
I know it sounds brutal, but these people are truly like a cancer.
She’s not the only one. He’s not protecting President Biden either. 😡
Even as uneducated & gullible as MAGAt voters are, the reality is hitting them in the face every day. Folks are starting to realize FEMA won’t bale them out after natural disasters. Free lunches & breakfast at schools is out, grocery prices through the roof. Utilities, rents, all up. Reality bites.
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.
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
🚨Chicago’s Mayor Johnson speaks out against federal officials entering the city. He outlines what local LEO’s will and will not do in his signed EO. Feds are encouraged to identify themselves and not to mask their faces. 1/2
Well said.
Robert Mueller was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2021. We’re just learning about it now because he was asked to testify in the Epstein matter and won’t be able to. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
Says the POS that has cost Americans $80 million dollars for his golf outings. He’s golfed 25% of his time in office.
DESCRIPTION: self-described alpha male, wearing body armor, assault rifle, and wraparound sunglasses because he’s “afraid of nothing.”
🚨 “The people united will never be divided!” Happening in OUR nation’s capital today. 1/2
Around 10 ICE agents showed up at Malcolm X Park to detain an unarmed man peacefully sitting on a bench. Wouldn't it be great to see them raking leaves instead of harassing innocent, harmless people and using the National Guard for free maintenance labor? What a total disgrace. #OnYourSide
Is this where the homeless people they’ve already removed are? What are the charges? Where are their pets? Have their families been notified?
Love Russian thugs intimidating our dear leader in public now.
Tell Congress: Demand answers about Trump’s visibly deteriorating health
They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.
