Frances Perkins was the patron saint of American workers and an inspiration for me during my time as labor secretary. She was the guiding light behind the creation of Social Security, the 40-hour workweek, the National Labor Relations Act, and much more.
David Dayen@ddayen.bsky.social · yesterdayToday's Prospect Patriot is Frances Perkins. She saw the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory go ablaze in 1911 and her life changed. "The New Deal was born that day," she said. 22 years later she'd be America's first female cabinet member. prospect.org/2026/08/04/a...
Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

"It’s as if we launched a war against nature, and that has turned place after place into something that resembles a war zone," writes @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social. "The climate movement is a peace movement, a movement to end this war and its casualties."

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
Polymarket has millions of dollars in wildfire-related bets & more than $1M in beds were placed on the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires! DESPICABLE! THE PREDICTION MARKET PROMOTES THE OBSTRUCTION FIREFIGHTERS OR FOLKS TO GO OUT AND COMMIT ARSON! It's absolutely nuts!

Thank you to Mexico & Australia for sending your fire fighters to aid us when our closest physical ally threatens to fine or tariff Canada even as smoke from Washington & Oregon blow into BC. We send fire crews & our Super Soaker water bombers when the USA is on fire. TACO issues threats. Sad...

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.
On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️
Five people in a row that I've talked to said that they are planning to travel to the States ("but I won't be posting about it"). WTF people. You suddenly good with authoritarian, racist, grifting POS? Suddenly, you've been away from NYC for a year and Broadway is worth more than fighting fascism?!?
The persecution of Dr. Fauci is a disgrace. Why doesn't a Canadian university invite Anthony Faucci to Canada to take up residence as a professor emeritus? The federal government should take efforts to fast track the move.
Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives want to launch a witch hunt against Canada's public health heroes - just like MAGA is doing with Dr. Anthony Fauci. Poilievre offers nothing to Canadians except warmed over crap from the American extreme right.

Historian of science Margaret Rossiter (d #OTD in 2025) coined the term #MatildaEffect (1993). Named after suffragist Matilda Joslyn Gage, the Matilda Effect describes a systemic bias where women's scientific achievements are ignored, minimized, or directly attributed to their male colleagues. 1/3

Canadians don’t want to support the corrupt US govt, we will continue to boycott, spend our money at home, if you choose to go to the US, you are essentially supporting concentration camps, corruption, racial bias etc.
