Be loud.
Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
“[Y]ou’re pulling paychecks from working families, you’re pulling apprentices out of training facilities, you’re pulling opportunity straight out of our communities.”
Better idea- put the queen of the Netherlands on the cover.
When you have no veins left to use for IV on your arm they use your hand. Hand bruises from hand shaking isn’t a thing. I can’t wait for the party.
These guys should be home with their families.
This was an amazing discussion about media, democracy, and community. Heather Cox Richardson Leigh McGowan (Politics Girl) Joanne Carducci (JoJoFromJerz) Dana Goldberg substack.com/@muellershew...
No, Americans do not want a dictator. Maybe the Guard should get with DDOT and do some tree planting 🤷‍♀️
Who would’ve thought Americans wouldn’t want to live in a military state? Oh that’s right, all Americans. Another negative impact of the military crackdown in DC small businesses are struggling to make sales. Restaurant reservations have dropped by nearly 30% compared with last year, and some owners
I trust steak tartare from a food truck with no refrigerator in August more than Ghislaine Maxwell
All of Congress needs to see this.
Now, THIS I love. Making the best of a bad situation. R E S P E C T
The populated states are all democratic. They will lose if democratic governors join in this fight.
Heather packed a lot in this one. If anything, her letters are a preservation of the moment. If only we could learn from history.
Garcia: What I can say is that I want the American public to hear what Bill Barr said in his deposition — about how he views the current DOJ’s actions, and Todd Blanche’s actions as they relate to this deal with Ms. Maxwell. The American public should know what was said
I refuse to believe we are going to relitigate slavery. SLAVERY. It’s too much.
ICE is targeting delivery drivers in DC, and MPD is helping them. đź“Ś ICE is not police đź“Ś DC law requires uniformed officers to show their badge and nameplate while on duty And Uber needs to do better by its drivers!
Again: this is not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
They are duty bound to protect the people.
Or in his case, a parent.
Dump is Poopin’s puppet and she’s their TP.
An idea:
much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.
Yes. I also felt this way about the assassinations in Minnesota. In fact, I continue to feel this way about the assassinations in Minnesota.
Don’t let the bastards grind you down.
In the populated states democrats loom heavily over republicans. This not a dragon they want to unleash, but I hope they do and I hope the democratic governors are there to play.
Anyone else flying Air Canada the next few days who might have any words of wisdom regarding whether to change plans, or not? #aircanada #cupestrike
We need to keep this up. Every day, not a moments peace.
Every democratic governor should be meeting this moment with the same energy. @govpritzker.illinois.gov @governor.ny.gov @governorwalz.mn.gov are there rn. @governor.pa.gov and Janet Mills have been outspoken. There are others, it’s time to step up.
Can I just say that the media normalizing his communication style from the 3rd grade reading level to the policy by tweets is what enabled this shit show from the beginning? For the record- none of it is normal.
Does this appointment get senatorial approval?
I look forward to visiting the newly designated monument in her honor. She has to be one of, if not the most consequential figures in modern history.
His social media team deserves the Nobel Peace prize.
Frances Perkins is one of the most consequential people to Americans and our democratic norms of today. Get to know her. While historical fiction, read “Becoming Madam Secretary” by Stephanie Dray. She will become a heroine to you, too.
We must insist the Supreme Court protect voting rights and democracy. In 2015-17, I litigated and won 4 redistricting cases in the Supreme Court. In the last few years my firm has litigated two others in the Court and won both. Don't give in to the cynics. When we fight we can win!
NEW: In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned. Today, we’re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.
The woman petitioning SCOTUS to overturn marriage equality in the name of the sanctity of marriage is on her fourth husband.
The trolling by GN’s office is perfect.
Oh you mean the methodology that we’ve used consistently for 30 years? What happens when their new methodology produces month over month decline?
Why would any self respecting politician be pushing this idea that he can run for a 3rd term? Aside from the fact that he’s got dementia, he will likely be dead and he is not helping the GOP. For crying out loud he makes democrats look fiscally conservative.
She's also the only child rapist in history to be moved to a minimum security camp with potential work release one week after meeting with the Deputy Attorney General.
And the kayaking trip where he had the army corps raise river levels, because, you know fuck the fish.
ATV’s outside L’enfant Plaza? Somehow I doubt that. Maybe there were people smoking weed and that scared him. Stoners are pretty intimidating 🤷‍♀️
@neeratanden.bsky.social
I can’t help but notice the Wall Street Journal stopped getting Epstein leaks after Todd Blanche met with Ghislaine Maxwell and she was moved to a minimum security resort.
And fascism.
Those people cheering on Trump’s drive for autocratic power because they still somehow think he will use that power to make their lives better might want to consider how their lives may change if that power is in the hands of J.D. Vance
So, no national guard on January 6th, but definitely on August 11th. Makes total sense.

It’s truly depraved for Trump to welcome Vladimir Putin to the US while Putin is actively wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Ukraine. Trump calls this a peace summit but it’s just an opportunity to hang out with one of his dictator buddies. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...
This is lawsuit material.
Really weird how this is happening at the hands of Israel/Jewish people.
NEWS: Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, just revealed on CNN that she wrote a letter with her concerns to Deputy AG Blanche — and received no response. She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.
It is a truism that democracies die more often through the ballot box than at gunpoint.
In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this. Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?
I hope one becomes president and takes away his familial benefits- it won’t hurt him, he’ll be underground.
Heinous.

We could have won in 2016 if leadership in the party had embraced this. We’re screwed if we keep doing this- Mamdani is a great example. If establishment democrats can’t embrace this they need to get out of the way.
Berman: Was the President right about the polling? Enten: No. If we are comparing him to other presidents at this point in their presidencies, he is the second lowest on record compared only to himself.
Show up and fight back! We can fight for something better.
Tell that to the FOTUS, what’s he work, maybe 10 hours a week? And even when he does it’s looking at picture books with an interpreter. Brooke Rollins will morph into Kristi Noem, mark my words.
When the church is fighting the Christian nationalist government. Interesting times we’re in.
This about covers it.
It’s like scrubbing out the word climate. Next it will be the word biology.
Mark my words: Trump will defy our Supreme Court too. It’s just a matter of time.
We need more of this energy, please!
Yes! Saw the plane in #AugustaMaine, tried to get photo/video but my camera is lousy. #messwithTexas!
And repost. Don’t let the current administration lie and cover up the real economic data.
Taken literally, the nation’s top intelligence official announced — on a right-wing podcast — that my decision to stop posting on Twitter is evidence that I am not “innocent” and am therefore being reviewed by the DOJ, with the aim of holding me “accountable.” www.democracydocket.com/opinion/im-n...
“Also today, Casey Gannon of CNN reported that two of Epstein’s victims have filed letters with the court expressing outrage at the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files, suggesting that the department was protecting wealthy men at the expense of the victims.”
Truly. And still we had to fight our way into the workplace, and now anti DEI and trad wife influencers smugly tear us down. It breaks my heart.
Under a proposed rule from the Trump administration, pregnant veterans would be barred from accessing abortions at Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals in cases involving rape, incest, or serious risks to the mother’s health.

Sounds familiar.
Just a lot of western wildfire smoke blotting out the sun on the US east coast. There’s a lot of talk at the US Forest Service about “active forest management” to mitigate wildfire risk. It may sound like a good plan on the surface, but the devil is in the details. @altusfs.altgov.info
I just need one member of the media to ask Trump how much a $500 drug would cost after a 1500% discount.
🚨 Ken Paxton wants Dems arrested for refusing to help rig an election. That’s rich coming from a guy indicted on three felony counts of securities fraud, accused by his top deputies of bribery, abuse of office, while allegedly using burner phones, secret emails & fake names to dodge accountability.
“The wrong side of history will always tell you to be afraid. The right side of history will always expect you to be courageous. Expect courage from people around you, and it will show up. Expect fear, and fear will rule the day.”
But somehow we did. Twice.
“Both of them.”
“Previous presidents were sober and careful in how they talked about nuclear weapons. But now, Trump “has initiated a new era in which the chief executive can use threats regarding the most powerful weapons on Earth to salve his ego and improve his political fortunes.”

And hopefully you’re not some bot collecting all this for MAGA and ICE.
Massive but not life taking stroke for mango Mussolini, botched Botox & plastic surgery for his cabinet members, public displays of drunkenness for kegsbreath, on air medical events for any of the MAGA entertainers, private jet explosion (think handmaids Tale) with Temu Goebbels and Russell Vought.
@marcelias.bsky.social: We "need to tell Republicans that if they take 5 seats, we're going to put 30 seats on the table... When people say to me 'don't bring a knife to a gunfight,' I don't even want to bring a gun to a gunfight. I want to bring missiles to the gunfight."
The more they repeat the lie then the more likely people will start to believe it. Case in point- economic numbers for Q2.

how much of the money from the ICE/tax cuts bill is just going to go to scammers, do you think? www.richmonder.org/this-tuckaho...
“When Kevin Roberts announced a year ago that the radical right was launching a second American revolution, he was telling the truth. But the new world they want to bring to life seems no more popular now than it was then.”
