Trump's thugs aren't just abducting undocumented immigrants.
More than 170 American citizens — including children — have been detained and assaulted by ICE since he took office.
No one is safe. https://www.propublica.org/article/immigration-dhs-american-citizens-arrested-detained-against-will
MEMPHIS CITY COUNCILMAN @jbsmileyjr.bsky.social : “We filed a lawsuit against @GovBillLee & @AGTennessee because sending the National Guard into our city under these circumstance is illegal… you can’t enforce the law while breaking the law.”

Rep. @gabbysalinas on MEMPHIS elected officials suing @GovBillLee over Trump’s occupation: “We are either a state with laws or we are not… the deployment of the National Guard to Memphis is an abuse of power.”
Every worker deserves fair wages, health care, and the security of a good retirement.
That’s why I’m proud to stand in solidarity with the workers on strike at Creamland. When we say every worker deserves respect, we mean every worker. Plus, these guys make our green chile dip! ✊
I’m urging Secretary Noem to restore the Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention grant, which was abruptly cancelled.
As we grieve the lives lost at Annunciation, we must commit to taking every possible step to catch violent individuals before they carry out such destruction.
“The president did not write this letter. He did not sign this letter.”
They think we are all so stupid
Trump’s tariffs are costing the typical American household $2,400 per year.
Gas, groceries, health care, and housing are all getting more expensive. We need policies that lower costs and help working people, not billionaire tax cuts and #Trumpflation.
When unions are strong, our communities and our country are strong.
Every person in our nation has benefited from the labor movement. This Labor Day, we celebrate the workers and unions who have fought for fair wages, safe workplaces, and sick leave for all of us.
😕
A good human shows kindness with the reward being community/support. Every individual has their own strengths and weaknesses, which is why community is so important. Acknowledgment, accountability, change. That is the law of the universe. ✌️
ICE is doubling down on jails, and county sheriffs are cashing in.
Butler County, OH alone hands over nearly half its 860 beds. This isn’t “public safety.” It’s a profit pipeline off human misery.
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.
The system is broken.
Masculinity is a presentation/appearance. Gender is not exclusively strong, intelligent, "provider", etc, & any extreme is toxic. Actions & energy define if a person is safe, like giving "compliments" intended for conquest, control, or domination.
Today, we met and heard the stories of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. What they revealed is not only the trauma of hundreds of young women, but a cover-up of epic proportions involving the wealthy, the well-connected, and even our own government.
We will follow every thread until there is justice.
Let that sink in.
ICE is holding a man with both physical and developmental disabilities, who doesn’t understand or speak English, and who is nearly deaf at a detention facility in Washington State.
Inhumane doesn’t begin to describe it. We can and must be better.

CARTOON OF THE DAY
(From @mluckovichajc)
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.

"RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy...it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism."
Were he not a Kennedy...and wealthy...he'd likely be living his life out in a mental institution. Diagnosis: Dumb-Fuckery.
Labor has always been on the frontlines in the fight against fascism – and today is no different.
Unions are fighting Trump’s cruel agenda in the courts and in the streets, and workers across industries are standing up for each other.
There’s courage – and hope – in solidarity.
Black women are the literal backbone of society and scientifically. Put Queens where they belong, on a throne. 😍
Rep. Nicole Collier is a Goddamn warrior. This is a woman who is demonstrating grit, resolve, tenacity and the refusal to bow…rather than just yapping about it.
The big box retailer has struggled with slumping sales recently amid a backlash over its retreat from diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
Household electric bills are up 10% nationally since Trump took office.
Meanwhile, household gas prices rose by 56%.
Energy costs are set to go up more as the Trump-Republican budget bill guts clean energy projects.
Remember how the entire election was about lowering prices?
