I do things to musical instruments and track animals. My fingernails are rarely clean and my hands are callused.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

Ruby Bridges, age 6Ruby Bridges flanked by three U.S. Marshals on the steps of her schoolNorman Rockwell’s painting depicting the event, “The Problem We All Live With,” originally published as a centerfold in the January 14, 1964 issue of Look magazine. Ruby Bridges talking with President Obama as they look at Rockwell’s painting while it was temporarily displayed at the White House in 2011.

Happy Labor Day to all, except those who continue to strip workers rights so they can continue to line their own pockets. This administration is the enemy of the Labor Movement. On all fronts. Minimum wage, affordability, workplace regulations, work-hours, unions, health-care, education, etc.

Ranchers are visibly uncomfortable as Trump tells them they’re now empowered to kill wolves even though it’s illegal

It is so blatantly corrupt. Yet MAGA screams about "he doesn't even take a salary, he "donates" it." The stupidest, most obvious attempt at a sleight of hand that even a blind cow wouldn't miss. (Nothing against blind cows btw) Fucking hell, I hate Trump and his cult followers.

Trump reported 1,051 trades in his June disclosure. These two stood out: — June 18: Bought $250K–$500K in Boeing, the same day the Navy awarded Boeing an $880 million contract — June 23: Bought $15K–$50K in SpaceX, the same day NASA recorded a $425.6 million award to SpaceX

These questions have now been asked of Blanche repeatedly & he gives the same bullshit answer each time. Here’s an idea: How about we ask Blanche direct and pointed questions about his noncompliance with court orders from Judge Sullivan compelling him to provide unredacted Epstein Files?

WELKER: Can you pledge the DOJ will always act independently of the WH? BLANCHE: No, I'm not going to pledge that WELKER: So if the president asked you do to something that you feel crosses an ethical or legal line, would you do it? BLANCHE: He would never do that. He never has. He never will.

New per WaPo: US forces killed 153 civilians and wounded nearly 250 others last year in three attacks targeting suspected militants in Yemen, according to a Pentagon review that found significant harm to noncombatants who were not in any conflict.
