Platner: Our taxpayer dollars can build schools and hospitals in America, not bombs to destroy them in Gaza.
Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
They already had the kids loaded onto the planes,hoping to leave without US citizens knowing . . .right on brand for this POS.
I love this guy
Long the envy of the world for its capabilities and expertise, the CDC finds itself no longer able to advocate for what its scientists believe the best available research shows. @citizencohn.bsky.social on the CDC purge: www.thebulwark.com/p/kennedy-rf...
Some new street art spotted in DC 🤣
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

Thank you on this labor day!!
Haha good one!!
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

Chicago this Labor Day… Thousands fighting for what #WorkersDeserve
It is wild that the Washington Post -- which claims "Democracy Dies in Darkness" -- has remained completely silent for more than a day about Trump's latest attack on free and fair elections. Support pro-democracy independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
More of Austin: Labor Day protesters are marching to the Capitol!
Haha
Ditto.
Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.

Collapse of critical Atlantic current (AMOC) is no longer low-likelihood, study finds. Scientists say ‘shocking’ discovery shows rapid cuts in carbon emissions are needed to avoid catastrophic fallout. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"We know less real information about Donald Trump’s health than any president in modern times — arguably since JFK’s doctors covered up the extent of his pain in the presidency. Much of what passes for health information from Trump is laughably exaggerated, so bare bones as to be equally dubious..."
"To me, there are six clear reasons we should be talking about this more than we are and why the press corps should be digging more deeply and more seriously around this topic." — @vermontgmg.bsky.social Garrett Graff on the health of the current president. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...
Agree
What could possibly go wrong?
Honestly, the hour-long run and march of people shouting “Free DC” up 14th Street today is the energy I needed this morning. I love you, DC.
Trump going to sleep earlier, which I think is a little noteworthy
Barrel cactus lives and provides colors for free. Nazis are everywhere but so are really good people and constant, fantastically diverse beauty from the Source.
Anyway, I’m glad to know the president is still technically alive so he can watch this tomorrow www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
US not prepared for war with Russia, it's recommended local and state governments take initiative due to near collapse of federal agencies under Trump. Unlike previous wars, this one will reach the homeland.
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
Russia tried to assassinate the President of European Commission Ursula von der Leyen by jamming her plane while landing. So far Europe has ignored the issue as to not give Russia the attention it wants and to quietly prevent themselves from reacting to this significant escalation by the Kremlin.
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
600 in the putative class. 76 of which were loaded onto planes.
For people asking about the 600 number, that appears to have come from the original CNN report — www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p... — and was in the complaint. But, per the DOJ's status reports, it appears only 76 children were involved in today's stopped flight(s). As such, they are being returned to ORR.
Anna has had excellent coverage of this developing case in which the Trump administration tried to use the holiday weekend to secretly and illegally deport children.

Pope Leo XIV prayed publicly on Sunday for the victims of the shooting at a Catholic school in Minnesota and called for an end to the "pandemic of arms, large and small."
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
IDF spokesperson: "we are doing everything we can to keep civilians out of harms way" Like dropping 2,000lb bombs on densely crowded refugee camps, killing 15 medics in cold blood, firing 355 bullets into a car to slaughter a family, double tap strikes to murder journalists etc?
In a recent interview, Governor Pritzker discussed that he believes that Donnie's eagerness to put troops in US cities stems from Donnie's intention to make false claims about the upcoming 2026 elections & would be "an invasion". #PINKS

JB Pritzker to CBS on Trump deploying troops: "He'd like to stop the elections in 2026 or, frankly, take control of those elections. He'll just claim that there's some problem with an election, and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control if, in fact, he's allowed to do this."
Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay
If they enact a new illegal congressional map, Missouri will be sued.
Republicans: “Stop making everything about race.” Really? White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken. America already made it about race.

This #LaborDay, let’s remember that immigrants make up 20% of the workforce. If 20% of the workforce were deported, the country's GDP would decrease by 12% (-3 trillion). Hurting immigrants doesn't only hurt them. It hurts America. Is weakening America worth owning the libs? #OnYourSide

So true
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.
Unions built this city and keep it running. They’ve fought against power and greed to make the impossible possible. Now, they need an ally in City Hall. On Labor Day, the presidents of the Hotel Trades Council, 32BJ and SEIU 1199 make the case at @cityandstateny.bsky.social.

Misogyny post five bazillion. Not Molly. That bullshit she is showing us from Raw Egg male white supremacist about contraceptives.
Trump's dodging the cameras as much as he's been dodging the Epstein files
He was not.
Butt snorkel committee
It wasn’t until 1938—more than a half century after the Haymarket Riot and the national strikes for eight-hour workdays—when Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act, which limited the workweek to 44 hours, and then amended the law two years later to 40 hours.
EXTRAORDINARY Dozens of thousands of records are being smashed in EVERY COUNTRY from Oceania to Eastern Europe:Eastern, Central, South,Southeast,Western Asia. In FEW HOURS September 2025 has already broken more records THAN ANY FULL MONTH IN HISTORY We are seeing something beyond imagination, tbc
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
In the end the great source of humans and all creatures will throw us off for the destructive species that we are. This is only the beginning of what none of us can prepare for. Except to stop the madness of fossil fuel consumption and vicious competition for resources. Which could happen.
I don't know what is coming, but I do know that I have a Mayor and a Governor that are going to do their damn best to protect us from this bullshit. Proud to watch both of them fight. My alder. has been posting ways for people to stay safe. We have good leaders here. We do not want/need the feds.

An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
Do something Senator!! Help us help people!!

🚨 “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

Woman is a black woman. Not a man FYI
The oldest fossil evidence shows that humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago and would have had dark pigmented skin to protect them from intense UV rays. So if you're a believer in "God," and believe man was created in his image... then it stands to reason that God is a Black man.
