Universal healthcare is so complicated that every other wealthy nation has somehow figured out a way to implement a version of it.

Growing strong! Congrats to the baristas in Vidalia, GA, for winning their election!! ✊

"McClatchy, a subsidiary of the Chatham Asset Management hedge fund".... Freaking nightmare.

Massive layoffs today at McClatchy's local newspapers in Lexington, Kentucky; Miami, Florida; Sacramento, California; Charlotte, North Carolina and more. Reactionary politics depend on an uninformed populace and here we are: www.lpm.org/news/2026-09...

SEIU members won't let the Trump Administration's trade & tariff wars divide us from our union siblings in Canada. We're proud to stand in solidarity with all working people, no matter where we're from. Our fight for #MoneyPowerRespect doesn't discriminate by borders or anything else. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

Trump ratchets up trade war, moves to ban many Canadian goods from entering US

President Donald Trump has escalated his economic pressure against Canada following its retaliatory tariffs against the U.S.

Trump opened the Taj Mahal Casino in April 1990 it was bankrupt 16 months later so we're pretty much on schedule

The problem isn't boomers. The problem isn't immigrants. The Social Security actuaries say that there's one cause of the trust fund emptying 30 years sooner than it should – and it's the billionaires who do not pay in on all of their income. SOCIAL SECURITY HAS A BILLIONAIRE PROBLEM.

Remember. Don't look up!

Anthropic is patting itself on the back in a report and stating that they disrupted several potential plots by scientists who used its models to conduct research that could have helped develop bio weapons and that govs. used the models to surveil their own citizens.

People who fight for Social Security must stand shoulder to shoulder with other people who are targeted by Trump―whether it’s postal workers, immigrants, voters, or veterans.

A reminder that former VP candidate Tim Walz is an actual human. But we’re stuck with that weirdo operative of Peter Thiel.

40% more kids are eating breakfast and 15% more are eating lunch since we launched free school meals in Minnesota. Now we’re making sure 100% of kids eat their broccoli.

Came to see if the only person with whom I've discussed Rooker-Feldman had mentioned it regarding the Missouri gerrymandering case. Unfortunately, after trawling @jjgass.bsky.social's feed, it appears not know if Rooker-Feldman applies even if the case wasn't originally filed as a quasi-appeal of

One constant in my life has been non Jews explaining to me what a “proper Jew” was. They came from all shades of the political spectrum, implying different things about how I wasn’t *really* Jewish. Some did it to discredit me. Others to compliment I wasn’t as iffy as “real Jews”. All shit though.

Starbucks is discontinuing a blending powder containing a form of silica that was used for a number of drinks after baristas reported coughing and falling ill, and @sbworkersunited.org organized a campaign around the issue.

Thank you @rbreich.bsky.social for highlighting that firing federal civil servants not only affects us all but directly affects the workers who got fired and their families It also affects the many civil servants who weren't fired but have been living in a state of anxiety for nearly two years now

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · last mo.

The decimation of our federal agencies has upended the lives of our nation's civil servants. These are the people who oversee food safety, public health, and much more. The squalor of this moment is bringing us back to basics — and reminding us of what our priorities should be.

Important statement by APWU: "While the legal challenges are driving headlines and creating confusion about the viability of Vote-by-Mail for this upcoming election, it’s important for postal workers to make our position absolutely clear..."

The American Postal Workers Union@apwu.bsky.social · last mo.

What the Administration is doing, with postal management’s cowardly complicity, is to sow doubt about a system that has proven time and time again to be safe, secure, and an excellent way to ensure every eligible voter has their vote counted. Read our full statement here: apwu.org/news/apwu-st...

The freedom to vote is fundamental to working people's power. The SAVE Act would make it harder for eligible Americans to cast a ballot. Working people deserve a democracy where EVERY voice can be heard.

The Trump regime is telling military families that their loved ones’ deaths in war are statistically inconvenient.

Number of U.S. Troop Deaths in Iran War Appears Lower on Pentagon Website (Gift Article)

Three military officials and a Pentagon spokesman gave conflicting explanations for why the number of Americans killed in the Iran war had changed.

"Julio" says, “I’m a lettuce cutter. We move at a very fast pace. I’m almost always bent over. My coworkers, who’ve been doing this for years, recommend that we stretch, but if we listen, the machine will leave us behind. This could jeopardize our return next year.” #WeFeedYou

SCOTUS just beat back Trump on #BirthrightCitizenship. Big sigh of relief Nevertheless, the fundamental idea that the Constitution protects our multiracial democracy hangs by a thread and shows the need for the @jwj.org's 21st Century Reconstruction www.jwj.org/democracy-bl...

How long were those lines? This actually seems like a lie to cover the fact that the DCBOE is beckoning itself yet again

Mark Joseph Stern@mjsdc.bsky.social · 4mo ago

This is because the DC Board of Elections is waiting to release results until everyone has voted, and there were lines of late-arriving voters at some election sites when polls closed. Josh could have easily learned about this (entirely reasonable) policy because the board publicly announced it.

So the DC Board of Elections is beckoning itself today, like all other days, right?

@eliasburke.bsky.social metres? How'd you get that past editing?

Elon Musk spent millions to elect Trump. His company Starlink, which dominates rural broadband services, lobbied to cut funding for rural broadband alternatives. Now, Starlink is jacking up prices on its captive customers. Government for the billionaires, by the billionaires.
