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.

A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.

The only thing I want to say about whatever the hell is going on with Trump’s hand is that he’s in the Epstein files.
It’s much ado about nothing. Melania never actually does anything.
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...
Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏

At least ten cities in states whose Republican governors are deploying National Guard troops to Washington, DC, had higher rates of violent crime or homicide than DC last year, according to a CNN review of FBI data. https://cnn.it/4mZjjHQ
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
If you aren’t uncomfortable learning our country’s history, you are learning propaganda.
A quote from Battlestar Galactica that holds very true: "There's a reason you separate the military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." Admiral Adama

Hey, Literally Every Media Outlet, It's not a Ukraine-Russian war; it's Ukraine defending itself against Russian occupation and annihilation. Thanks.
I think the Us may need to shut itself down, wait, and then start up again. A reboot. It can’t hurt.
President Zelenskyy is a heroic human being by any way such things are measured.
Controversial opinion: When it comes to US presidents, "blatantly breaking laws and violently violating people's rights" is a bigger deal than "is old," meriting greater public concern and a higher percentage of attention.
🇺🇦 Re-upping this one in the name of decency and democracy. Slava Ukraini!
“Putin would eat you for lunch.” Today, exactly that happened.
Please: DO NOT NORMALIZE OR EXPLAIN AWAY ARMED MILITARY ENGAGED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT IN AN AMERICAN CITY. If it doesn’t seem that off base or unusual to you, perhaps it’s because you are not the target of this.
Mr. Swan has stirred up controversy, however,what He is Saying about Chump and America, Rings True.......
Well done👍🏻👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
VoteVets’ Max Rose: “The facts on the ground will bear themselves out.” Trump’s National Guard stunts stretch our military thin, weaken emergency response at home, and leave us less safe abroad. He’s not protecting America. He’s endangering it.
There would be an immediate cease fire if Russia immediately ceases firing.
The VA has lost thousands of nurses, doctors, and caregivers under Trump, creating “severe” staffing shortages. Veterans are being deserted, not supported. That’s the cost of a president who ALWAYS dismisses those who served. MORE: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
You know what would actually reduce crime and homelessness? Universal healthcare, free education, affordable housing and a basic living wage. When people have their most basic needs met, they have happier and healthier lives. Those hoarding the wealth don’t want to give us those things.
2 15 year olds, a boy and a girl, whip Big Balls' ass and the national guard gets activated. Thousands of rioters assault our seat of government and he didn't call in anyone. This is a pretext to him doing something terrible and he will have the guard in place already. Welcome to Martial Law.
#ProudBlue Ken Paxton jailing Beto for fundraising is like a bank robber calling the cops on a Girl Scout for selling cookies without a permit. The crook’s been under indictment for years—but sure, lock up the guy raising money for democracy. 🙄
Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty. It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days. But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.
They’re investigating the woman who nailed Trump for fraud. Not for justice...because that’s what she did...but because she did it. This isn’t law enforcement...it’s political dirty tricks in broad daylight. #DOJIsDirtyAsHell www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Who?
The USA 🇺🇸 is a dictatorship that gets more brutal, more ruthless and more terrifying each day.
Fox News hosts are furious that Big Balls and Holly got beat up and people just filmed it instead of intervening. “Who stands there and watches as someone gets attacked?” These same people are perfectly fine with ICE kidnappings.
At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed.
This can't just die down and go away.
NEW: Police bodycam footage introduced at the trial of Jared Wise showed him berating police officers on Jan. 6, 2021, and yelling "kill 'em" as rioters attacked law enforcement. He’s now working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice.
To the other countries of the world…begin lobbying your leaders…NOW….to skip the 2028 Olympics in the United States.
Good
TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.
If the economy buckles under this crew...don’t buy the ‘oops’ narrative. They profit from volatility...chaos...and pain. And if you can’t afford rent or food...remember...it wasn’t an accident.
"Donor List Suggests Scale of Trump’s Pay-for-Access Operation...many in the crypto business, wrote big checks while seeking favor from the president." Trump is the most corrupt president in living memory and it's not even close.
Hmm, I wonder.
FLOODING THE ZONE Release the #TrumpsteinFiles #Epstein #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinList
I’m sure the guy who cheated at golf, marriage, business, taxes, insurance claims, and elections will provide us with 100% accurate jobs’ numbers after handpicking a new crony.
The absence of display at the Smithsonian is not the absence of fact or record. Donald J. Trump is still the only US president to be impeached twice.
I don’t know about God but is sure hate Trump
👇🏼Fact
Speak Truth....
Just a reminder that every single day that MAGA Congress covers for the Predator-in-Chief, they are further victimizing tRump and Epstein's victims. They deserve justice now! #ReleaseTheEpsteinTrumpFilesNow
Agree Bernie,Chump and The Wealthy among us, are intentionally keeping us Down......
It’s been 16 years since Congress raised the minimum wage. Meanwhile, folks are out here trying to survive on $7.25 an hour. In this economy?! I’m standing with my Labor Caucus colleagues to #RaiseTheWage, because $7.25 ain’t cutting it.
When we had real independent journalists instead of script readers.

Stop falling for the trap of latching on to the price of an item (eggs, beef…) as the message. The issue is affordability. From 2001-2023 wages failed to keep up with rising costs. Medical premiums rose 301% Travel expenses were up 170%. Rent grew by 131%. The cost of raising children grew by 107%.
Ummmmm…..
KEEP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN!!!!!!
The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.
