Tesla doesn't recongise Trade Unions. Apple doesn't recognise unions. Amazon is anti-union. McDonald's is anti-union. Starbucks is anti-union. Google is anti-union. Walmart is anti-union. The big corporations are not on your side.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

This was curtesy from Glenn Kirschner. For those military personnel that need and want help in learning more about lawful vs unlawful orders. So much pressure on our military by this wicked little man ordersproject.com

@degette.house.gov I’m a constituent from Denver. We need a law to make it illegal for any federal law enforcement agency to use police on their uniforms. The FBI doesn’t use police. There uniforms need to clearly identify them as ICE, CBP, etc. The law also needs to make it mandatory

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

This is insane!!! Private prison companies have documented cases of suing states for failing to meet their contractually guaranteed minimum bed occupancy quotas (often 80–100% full), or else the state must pay for the empty beds.

AP: “A U.S. Senate investigation report released by @ossoff.senate.gov has uncovered dozens of credible reports of medical neglect and poor conditions in immigration detention centers nationwide…” apnews.com/article/immi...

BREAKING: A court ordered the Department of Defense to stop censoring educational materials discussing race and gender in schools on military bases. Books removed from the schools must be returned to the shelves immediately.

3 ways you can make noise about the shutdown if you have a GOP Member of Congress. 1) Find where they publicly said Dems want healthcare for illegals [sic] and--in the most aggrieved voice possible--berate them for claiming their constituents who rely on ACA are not real Americans.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

We called it “Anti-ICE” within hours...while the dead were detainees. That mismatch isn’t reporting; it’s tinder. Here’s how motive-first headlines heat the next attack.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

It's become impossible to grasp the escalating magnitude of the abject cruelty, human trafficking, and previously unimaginable crimes this President & Administration are committing every hour of every day of every week of every month they're in power.

Murder without due process is still murder.

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

Since we didn't have cell phones when I went to high school, we weren't expected to check in with our parents. But I promise I was exactly where I was supposed to be.

I'm in the 6. I worked in the US. I travelled to most of the 50 states. I had many American friends I spent the winter with. But I have no plans to go back. globalnews.ca/news/1143516...

I made this in jest because I’m finding it hard to believe that a text message exchange would sound like a Jane Austen novel written by a cop. Completely Believable Text Message Theater - sound up.

mass shooting at minneapolis homeless encampment days after a fox news host calls to kill all homeless people

Yes, Fox News Host Brian Kilmeade really said this about homeless people: “Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill 'em."

“So, the rise of these industrial-scale computing facilities that are needed for A.I. and other Internet applications is certainly one of the factors driving up prices.” “And I think there’s a chance that A.I. is going to drive our bills even higher in the future.”

Changing the name of the Department of Defense will cost billions.We could build units for all unhoused veterans. Or give service members a pay raise so 35K active duty members wouldn’t have to rely on food stamps. Or… or… or…

My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again. So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels. #PhysicalMedia #FilmSky

I'm the last one to want to read anything in-depth on Laura Loomer but this piece from @michaelscherer.bsky.social is important because it reveals just how much influence a loon like Loomer has had in the Trump administration. It is about her but it's also about the people allowing her access.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting will no longer administer a grant program that has so far provided millions of dollars to local television and radio stations to upgrade the equipment they use to send out emergency alerts. ncnewsline.com/2025/08/20/r... By @jennifershutt.bsky.social #ncpol

Not sure that anyone’s tracking, but TikTok just updated its community guidelines and announced it will now allow government entities to advertise on the platform. Political ads from parties and advocacy groups are still banned. Seems like a massive information imbalance.

Lori Beth Denberg reprised her All That librarian character to do a pro-library, anti-book banning reel and I love it so much??? www.instagram.com/reel/DIK0_bD...

Pete Hegseth allegedly having a Russian email address is the least surprising thing I’ve read today.

so youre saying theres an app where u can get directions to meet wealthy people who will get in your car, knowing you have a gun? and theyll pay you for it?

Times are bleak, it’s true. But people are still out here doing incredible work now, when it matters most. Activists in KY bought land slated for a new prison, and will now fill it with native plants and use it as an intertribal gathering location. 🌱🌎🧪🌿
