BREAKING: A federal appeals court just denied the Trump administration’s emergency motion to block Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter’s reinstatement to the FTC. This is a win for accountability, transparency, and the rule of law, but the fight isn’t over. Follow the case: https://protdem.org/4mKJ9zy

He is a person with no redeeming qualities.
Hey #Trumplicans Do not piss on our legs & tell us it's raining! We are onto you-redacting all mentions of Trump's name just proves how guilty he is No matter how much #GOPTraitors try-we are relentless & will not stop demanding they #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles x.com/RachelBiteco...
If only Republicans had not blocked Trump's ouster! Now we have a criminal 1000x worse than Bolsonaro!
So much respect for Brazil’s justice system regarding their coup plotter! So much disdain for my country’s justice system regarding our coup plotter!
Today's my birthday and I'm hoping @realDonaldTrump will send me one of his amazing handcrafted cards with a beautiful Sharpie-drawn woman on it
This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.
We could have e done the same. But instead …..
Congressman Jerry Nadler would more than likely have been reelected to an 18th full term in Congress. He's long had the support and confidence of NYC voters. Instead, he's passing the torch and doing his part to center and strengthen the next generation of Democratic leadership. (thread)
KOH: “Trump Stripped 1 million workers’ bargaining rights while plastering his face on the Labor Dept… Closed miner health clinics… Cut $2.4 Billion from youth & senior job programs… This is the real story of Trump & Labor.” #LaborDay
🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺“…. in fact, he has (putin), in a despicable manner, increased the bombing campaign. So I think with Trump, all options are on the table, and I think we'll be examining those very closely this week” - Scott Bessent United States Secretary of the Treasury
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.
An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes. - Sun Tzu
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.

He’s 83 years old. Brooklyn born Vermont Senator is traveling the country and speaking about what we need. I love Bernie Sanders.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳!
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
That Brit Brat Sebastian Gorka, needs to go back to Britain 🇬🇧 and go fuck up THAT country instead!
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
As we enjoy this beautiful Labor Day weekend, I am immensely grateful to have earned the endorsement of @cwaunion.bsky.social district 1, a union of more than 25,000 NYC workers who fight every single day for dignity on the job and economic justice for all working people.
The Rev took attendance…
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.
GOV. WHITMER on marriage equality 🏳️🌈 attacks: “Treating people equally is a Michigan value… LGBTQ+ Michiganders make our state stronger, better, and more vibrant.”

Trump's scam and con against the American people is over. Across the country, Americans are waking up. 🙌💪👏✊️👇
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
Senator Delivers Blistering Rebuke to RFK Jr.: ‘Just Shut Up.’ “I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do,” Smith wrote. “Just shut up. Stop peddling bulls--t. You should be fired.”
Disgraceful.

Republicans are putting the interests of one person who doesn't even live here over those of 30 million Texans.

Thousands of Mike Johnson's own constituents are at risk of losing Medicaid coverage following the passage of a budget bill he pushed for. And it’s all so he could help bankroll more tax cuts for corporations and the super-rich. Don’t let him forget.
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
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.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
Brutal. A humiliation ritual.
You have to start to wonder if the interior decorator is actually trolling him.

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.
Elizabeth Warren Scoffs at CNBC Host’s Question About GOP ‘Pushback’ Against Trump: ‘These Guys… Need Spine Transplants’
Graham Platner: "If we are going to build a political system that represents working people, we need to send up working people... When working people organize and fight together, they can build power, and they can use that to get the things that they deserve."

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
Rep. Veronica Escobar: "We need more people marching in the streets."
There was no “lesser evil” in 2024. There was evil— and there was acceptable. Every American who failed to see Trump for what he was had no excuse. Everything he’s doing now, every lawless violation of the Constitution, he promised openly on the campaign trail.
The "safest" place in the world is a prison cell. The "safest" street is one lined with armed guards at every corner. The "safest" communities are the ones surrounded by walls and watchtowers. Authoritarian societies often feel safe. But what is safety without freedom?
MAGA Communism. Donald Trump is making America more like China.
Y’all are wild
Happy National Dog Day to Trump’s most loyal bitches: Texas Republicans
Stuart Stevens on National Guard deployment: "The murder rate of Jackson, Mississippi is 3 times that of D.C.... the whole thing is complete fraud"
"Mamdani’s proposals would make the city more livable for working people while improving public goods — from transit to child care — that benefit everyone, including those footing a slightly higher tax bill."
Every dictator in history has claimed that they’ll only use their powers to go after the worst of the worst. Every dictator in history has lied. Donald Trump is no different.

State Governors should have the power to take control of their State's National Gaurd in the event that the President decides to become a tyrant!
This is how you stand up to bullies and aspiring tyrants.
FOX: So you support National Guard troops in these cities if it comes to that? REP. RALPH NORMAN: Absolutely. Why not? The crime speaks for itself.
Putting the military on the street will lower crime. It does in North Korea, did in Nazi Germany, and in the book 1984. The question isn’t will it lower crime. The question is do we want to be a nation governed like this. Until 6 minutes ago the GOP believed in LOCAL control.
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"
Trump is hanging banners of himself all over our nation’s capital. Where have we seen this before?
The Second Amendment wasn’t written for executive orders and barbed wire around the Capitol—it was written to ensure a well-regulated militia that answers to the people and their states. Today, that balance is being pulled apart. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/who-really...
New Jersey Attorney General Platkin: As I sit here today, I don’t know who is in charge of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in my state…
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
Trumpism is Nazism 2.0
"You never erase an atrocity...You learn from it."
Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

Whoopsy
Hakeem Jeffries is so fucking pathetic!
Over a quarter of all homes sold in the first three months of 2025 were bought by real estate investors. If we want to make housing affordable again, we must get Wall Street out of our homes. https://youtu.be/q9TOGxDJ0TE?feature=shared
The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.
