Whether itās Trump or JD Vance in the White House, Stephen Miller will continue to wreak havoc and bring great harm to this nation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. āļø
Unions built Americaās middle class. Because of them, we have better wages, benefits, and safer working conditions. This #LaborDay, we renew our promise to fight for all workersā dignity and respect.
We have a right to know what they did with our data! He told us they compromised hundreds of millions of peopleās socials names addresses birth dates etc. and heās the one they go after!? Heads should be rolling for this all the way to the top! Republicans need to stop letting them violate us! FFS
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
He can pretend to be dead all he wants. I still want the Epstein files released.
Great! No work no pay right? Maybe they should make him go sit at a desk instead of staying home and watching sports on tv? Or rake leaves with the national guard! You can with one hand. Or is it just the elderly and disabled that they accuse of not wanting to work when they need health insurance.
Corporate Americaās 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.
Now thatās an executive order I can get behind! They endanger everyone with their tactics and have gotten away with it for too long!
CHICAGOā¦
Thank God!
So they donāt have to pay taxes AND they get our FEMA money while Trump denies aide to hurricane and flood victims for taxpayers and he defunds our schools, police, CDC, National Parks! WTF?!
Donāt forget: Nationwide protest hosted by 50501 this Labor Day!
Oh my God! Not again!
This is bad. The new covid vaccine eligibility is a joke. I donāt see anything for healthcare workers unless they have at risk conditions as defined by brain worm! Iām not eligible and I was sick for weeks after getting the vaccine! Theyāre trying to kill us many different ways!
People will die! Under new covid vaccine eligibility healthcare workers are only eligible if they are at risk by Brain Wormās standards! If thereās an outbreak hospitals could be understaffed again! Many are closing anyway! Is there PPE stockpiled or will they try to keep it for themselves? WTAF?!
All they know is force! They donāt lead or listen to the overwhelming percentage of Americans that disagree with their policies! Thatās why they are tampering with midterm elections. They want to force a win vs. allowing voters to choose reps that will do their jobs! They know theyāre losing.

You're physically inactive. Get that fall 2025 COVID vaccine. From the emergency live we did last night at www.patreon.com/posts/137511...
Mark this day as the death of expertise at the CDC. All we have between us and the next pandemic are a bunch of horse paste eating conspiracy loons.

She LIED for him! He will PARDON her! Quid Pro Quo!
DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON TV TALKING ABOUT A SHOOTING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH The media who do this are heartless bastards
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends weāve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
Starbucksā 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.
So true!
They wonāt do anything to us.
Ummm š¤ that is a humdinger of a lie! I guess you canāt just say we are wasting billions of dollars and access to much needed renewable energy because windmills hurt all of my rich oil friends and they donāt like it.
So the sandwich guy ... beat the wrap
We had a horrific emergency involving our kids today and right now I'm just sitting at my computer in a daze and in shock. Thankfully they are okay but others are less fortunate.
Trump to host meeting with Israeli officials about post-war Gaza
Weāve already seen his vision when he shared that awful video and itās totally unacceptable.
Ken Paxton "will not back down from the virtues that built this country" and demands all Texas schools post "THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY". Paxton's wife is divorcing him because he committed adultery. Ken doesn't obey the Bible commandments any better than the Constitutional ones.
Schools Theaters Concerts Malls Churches Synagogues Mosques Parks Nightclubs Offices Festivals Stores Military Bases Bars Post Offices Yoga Studios Super Bowl parades Nowhere is safe from the scourge of gun violence in America. You can't tell me we must simply accept it.
Liar!
Misogyny lives and breathes in America! They used every play in the playbook, DEI, her laugh, slept her way to the top, not really black! Meanwhile heās more Russian than American and a draft dodging, old AF unqualified felon! Whether he really won or not he shouldnāt have received one vote!
Awesome š thank you!
I wrote postcards for her from Portland Oregon!
I love this journey for Iowa! Happy liberation day! Dear republicans everywhere, be warned! when you are loyal to a lawless greedy criminal organization & not your own constituents they wonāt vote for you. I am guessing this isnāt the retribution you were hoping for.
Good job Maine! I love āYou never listen to us!ā Thatās exactly what she & every other rep that voted for that crap bill did! ignored their voters! Theyāre using armed soldiers in our cities! Theyāre burying us in debt & stealing whatever they can from us. Now itās time for our retribution.
Yes he does. Sometimes heāll even cause an insurrection to try to overturn a free and fair democratic election and subvert the will of the people.
Call the guard! Iām going out to get pizza!š š
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...
I asked for the latest COVID vaccine this week at my VA clinic and they didn't have any. They said they are "out" but maybe more is on the way. The don't have an ETA.
Ohio unconstitutionally gerrymandered the maps even after the state Supreme Court rebuked them. Thatās why Gym Jordan (the poster child of gerrymandering) can get elected to the House of Representatives Lincoln once said a house divided against itself can not stand
Oh my God! Itās getting deep enough to need a snorkel! š¤æ please tell me nobody is buying this malarkey!
Pritzker gets it.
Dear āback the blue no matter what they doāpeople Trump is saying they stink at their jobs since he feels the need to illegally replace and circumvent them with costly federal forces. They may have gotten crime rates down but he claims theyāre lying about the numbers! FYI His bill defunded them!
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
This is a message to Republicans. Weāre not in a cult & do not blindly give power to one person or idea. Weāre allowed to disagree & often do. We embrace diversity for ALL We do our best to hold our leaders accountable instead of holding them above the law. Whatās wrong with that again?
He didnāt pay anything but the taxpayers did! Iām curious to know who in the regime bought intel stock before he put this ādealā together with our tax dollars.
I am afraid people are mistakenly waiting for the moment when they āuse their weapons against the publicā but surely they ARE using them by merely carrying them around in public, in our communities where we work and live! They are using them to distract scare & silence us so Trump can break the law.
Heās also lying. It did NOT cost the taxpayers 0 dollars. We already invested 2 billion or more & he used $8.9 billion in previously allocated federal funding as leverage to extort the 10% interest. I have a hard time believing he didnāt get a himself & his billionaire friends some side deals.
Every time! they also accused him of spitting.
They want us fighting so we never notice who is stealing from us all. Donāt get lost in the circus.
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: āI have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.ā
Virginia Giuffre's family: "The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction for child sex trafficking. During DAG Todd Blanche's bizarre interview, she is never challenged about her court-proven lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history."
It isnāt normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.
Iād love to know what her definition of inappropriate is! I am confident that it is not the same as those of us that havenāt trafficked and sexually abused children.
Slavery. Wrote a song about it. Wanna hear it? Here it goes. IT WAS BAD, YOU DUMB FUCKS.
Hereās what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwellās sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
My name is Captain Dylan Blaha, and this message is for members of the National Guard across the USA. I've served in the Illinois Army National Guard for over 12 years, including a deployment to Afghanistan and three years on active duty in Europe. What's going on right now is not normal.
That hand thing is back. This man has Syphilis or Leprosy or some shit. So much hatred in him that itās rotting his body.
Maybe thatās why Melania is always seen swatting his hand away.
Mockler: Now, along with the on the ground movements like MoveOn, which is very important. We also have online movements that are growing, like MeidasTouch. Who here knows MeidasTouch? Everybody knows MeidasTouch. You wanna know why? It's because we are beating Fox News.
Turns out the Justice Department sent Congress the Epstein files, but they were the same ones already made public.
Theyāre saying Trump was proven to be a perfect gentleman because convicted lying trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell said so right before she got her cushy new living arrangement! Whatās the problem? Why donāt they just release the files? At this point, at the very least heās protecting pedophiles
OK so they shouldnāt have a problem releasing ALL of the documents (not just the small portion that had mostly already been released), the entire record of the DOJ meeting with Maxwell & the entire footage of the night Epstein ādiedā in prison! Oh AND letās listen to the victims not the predator!
šØ Mayor Wu faces criminal charges because she is decent. We all know what ā° it is. Of course you are going after a female POC first. She is a āsuspicious personā in 2025.
Same-sex marriages have zero effect on religious extremists. A same-sex married couple doesn't prevent your relationship with God or with Christ or your fidelity to Christ's teachings. So, I'm left concluding that your faith in God is very fragile and weak in the first place.
The transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum security prison would have required Todd Blanche or his report to certify she is no longer a threat to public safety. The fix is in place.
Many congratulations! Now we must all strive to be as deserving as George Conway!
Why would any sane person put his picture on a poster?
And blew up an American factory days ago!
Alina, you are fired! ā¦.Again!
You know how some people celebrate their birthdays for the whole month? Well, I'm doing that for James Dobson's death.

Lawmakers Hold Stocks in Defense, Energy, and Tech Companies They Oversee readsludge.com/2025/08/22/l...
I prefer lawmakers that want to represent us so badly that they agree to not trade or own stock while in office & a reasonable time beyond. Instead of staying for a lifetime they can go home live among their constituents & trade stock under the same rules as we do. No insiders. No favors.
@rokhanna.bsky.social: āOnly 3% of the documents given to the [House] Oversight Committee are new. The rest are already in the public domain. Less than 1% of files have been released. DOJ is stonewalling.ā khanna.house.gov/media/press-...
People are unhappy because: *massive wage gap - Republicans refuse to raise minimum wage. *healthcare in America is a scam - Republicans care about profits than humans Dems donāt offer the same - we are ineffective fighting Republicans who rig everything to hurt the 99% & benefit profits
When faced with the inevitable Republican loss in 2026 coupled with Trumpās goal to have unchecked power they openly and unapologetically decided to cheat by choosing their voters instead of voters choosing them. At least in CA the voters choose and itās temporary. Itās not the same as Texas.
Oh man. Embarrassing for Dean Cain. ICE posting his training session like itās some kind of āMan of Steelā flex. Although it tracks with the incompetent, undertrained ICE agents weāre seeing on the streets.
This is not impressive but how do they explain the xxxL ice agents that wouldnāt even fit in that tunnel or look like they are unable to walk one city block at a slow pace. Thereās clearly no physical training or requirements for ICE. Keep throwing sandwiches š„Ŗ at them and theyāll get even worse.
What blue state is stepping up next? Whoās gonna meet this moment with the urgency it deserves? Who wants to be able to tell their kids and grandkids that when everything was on the line, they didnāt just SAY the right things, but DID the right thing with the power they had?
Connecticutās already sending dems. Weāll focus on keeping it that way though.
NEW: Gov. Gavin Newsom comments on California's new maps moving through the California legislature
Somebody should tell him itās more beneficial to speak with his living voters! Itās pretty insulting when he only speaks with the dead ones!
Watch this. Apparently, police followed Rep Collier into the bathroom and threatened her with a FELONY for being on a press call with Senator Corey Booker and Governor Newsom.
There is no longer any question about this.
No Justice no peace! āļø
I just want to say re; the Prager U cartoon about being a slave is better than being killed. Are they both justifying the past for white people & indoctrinating future slaves? Theyāre starting it in schools in red states! So MAGA take note our kids will be taught there is a third option!Yours wonāt.
Wow! Imagine if they swarmed in and aggressively provided hot meals, medical care and shelter! It would cost less and actually help people. Tell Trump thatās how you get to heaven! š And maybe even win some type of major award š„.
