Actually, I was protesting the current administration and its enablers.
Not thrilled about the AI part, but will take some good newsā¦.
As of 3:20 pm ET, @thexylom.com is projecting roughly 220k - 492k Americans attending Labor Day rallies nationwide, using a methodology developed by @gelliottmorris.com. That would put "Workers over Billionaires" on track as one of the 20 largest protests and demonstrations in American history:

Okay but are you surprised?
Exclusive: President Trump and international partners are discussing plans to build a āRiviera of the Middle Eastā on the rubble of Gaza. One plan would establish U.S. control and pay all of Gazaās more than 2 million population to leave.

"To blame the unnerving prevalence of mass shootings in America on the existence of trans people here isnāt just a dangerously stigmatizing, politically motivated take. Itās also bad math." - @abbyvesoulis.bsky.social
Canāt join a protest? There are many alternatives for resistance:
"President Trumpās decision to issue a Labor Day proclamation shortly after stripping union rights from thousands of civil servants, a third of whom are veterans, should show American workers what he really thinks about them." What AFGE President Everett Kelley said.

Netanyahu is restricting aid trucks into Gazaāthe best way to get food to starving people thereāso Jordan is delivering some with air drops. The Jordanians said @merkley.senate.gov & I could join one of those flights to see the devastation, but Israel denied authorization for our scheduled flight.
The problem: Mortgages signed by the Paxtons contained inaccurate statements declaring that each of those three houses was their primary residence, enabling the now-estranged couple to improperly lock in low interest rates, according to an Associated Press review of public records.
@bera.house.gov @ocasio-cortez.house.gov @raskin.house.gov It is time to impeach RFK Jr.
Next weeks we will see HUNDREDS of records brutalized in which will be the most anomalous heat wave ever seen anywhere in the tropics. World climatic history will be totally rewritten anew with weeks of insane and unprecedented heat in the whole area. 40C+ EVERY DAY. even in the highlands
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: āYouāve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 ā¦ and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.ā

Sycamore is a subsidiary of CVS in some way, I bet.
NEWS: Walgreens just got taken over by private equity. Private equity has a record of running companies into the ground. Walgreens could be the latest victim: closing more stores, service plummeting, workers losing their jobs, and eventually bankruptcy.

That was an Exec Order, which is NOT a law.

Meta is an unethical company run by Peter Thielās techno-fascist billionaire protĆ©gĆ©āMark Zuckerbergāand is part of the Trump regimeās surveillance state. Itās time to leave Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsAppāand while youāre at it, drop Amazon, Google, and OpenAI as well. Learn how in this thread:
I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

I came here to say this may vary by state.
Please note that this group is using old info. They still list Steve Jobs, who died over 10 years ago. You may want to verify them more carefully.
Fuck Gavin Newsom.
Carrying āan armful of chains to the vanā agents forced 7 men in hand + ankle shankles onto a US COAST GUARD plane and spirited them away. When they noticed an observer, they put on masks, because proud of their šŗšøservice. Just a regular day at BWI. Astounding reporting by @gbrockell.bsky.social
Doing illegal unconstitutional tariffs is the embarrassment
I recall hearing that one of the horrendous bills forfeited that power to the Exec branch. I doubt it was ālegalā then, either.
The Trump administration is reportedly continuing its attack on immigrant minors by preparing to send 600 unaccompanied children to Guatemala, in violation of legal safeguards. Vulnerable children deserve protection ā not to be disappeared to places they fled, alone and without due process.
Iām a bit confused about Steve Jobs being on your list. You do know he died, right? In 2011, in fact. Big hit to your credibility. @motherjones.com

Just months short of the nationās 250th birthday, Trump is close to batting a thousand at speed-running the very abuses of power that led the Founders to write the Declaration of Independence in the first place.

@liccardo.house.gov I hope your office is working to gain access to Yenycey Rodriguez, injured by ICE during a violent warrantless detention and held hostage by Stanford Medical Center. Please release a statement!! @norcalresist.bsky.social
Again with the āwe mustā language! Ami, YOU must impeach RFK Jr!
She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse. ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.
āWe mustā? You can draft or support articles of impeachment against cabinet secretaries. YOU must fight back!

Todayās Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military āquick reaction forceā and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things Iāve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?
