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.
Today'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...
A sweet little girl with autism brought her stuffed puppy to the dog show. One of the judges noticed her, came over, and asked if she’d like to show her dog too. What followed was pure magic. Original post
I didn’t have a clue this was a “thing”, but considering the corruption of this Administration, I really shouldn’t be surprised.
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!
Morning walk. Trying to see the beauty in the world as it blows up around us.

And now, a little Vivaldi. Michel Tirabosco, a renowned pan flute player, collaborating with Raphaël Froissart. He is a professor at the Geneva Conservatory. Born with physical differences, he began playing the pan flute at 7 and has achieved international recognition for his skill. #streetmusic
Everyone awake?
The 42,000-hectare megafire near Bordeaux proves climate breakdown is outpacing our emergency services. When a wildfire generates its own thunderstorm weather, suppression strategies become obsolete. Are we grossly underestimating this crisis? #ClimateCrisis

Max Miller released audio recordings of conversations he has with his ex wife. In one of them, she accuses him of clandestinely recording their conversations. “I have never recorded our conversations” he says, while recording their conversation. This is domestic violence. Ask me how I know.
Years ago at the first Media Reform conference in Madison, WI I picked up a yellow button that said: F* The FCC I so wish I still had it!
NEW: Two government watchdog groups have demanded an investigation into whether FCC officials violated ethics requirements by accepting luxury gala tickets from Paramount as it sought federal approval for its $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros.
#30million8/30 How can we be assured we will stand for our democracy when we cannot even assemble a mass protest? Are we pathetic and weak? 30 million marching on August 30th. I am not seeking likes. Repost. It requires all of us to participate. We are not weak and we are unafraid.
Warning: the President of the United States is kidnapping American citizens off the streets of blue states. Some of them return —most do not. Some are murdered in concentration camps owned by the President’s cronies. All of it is one big fat crime. None of our electeds will stop him. Will you?

We are what we allow our country to become. American Nazi's. American Concentration Camps.
Texas now leads the country in the number of sex offenders, with 75,710 total.
I don’t know how she and others do it. 118 and hard labor. I won’t complain at the prices of lemons again.
"Maria" is working in Coachella CA doing maintenance on the lemon trees. She wears thick gloves and sleeves to protect herself against the lemon thorns. She shares, "I will work any job to feed my children." Today Coachella temps are predicted to reach a high of 118°. #WeFeedYou
Morello has consistently held strong to the values his mother taught him.
Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine has it figured out. I couldn't agree more. Fuck fascism.
