The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Boston. Wow.

The Trump regime is so cooked.

How do you like them apples ?

Spending a couple of days in Washington DC. the lawlessness is unimaginable. Personally I have witnessed people riding their bike, going for a jog, walking their dog. Chaos everywhere you turn !

Trump was right! They are eating the cats !

ADP Nonfarm Payrolls for September: -32,000. A big miss -- the forecast was for a gain of 50.5k -- and it is the largest decline since March 2023 ADP numbers are leading non-farm payrolls lower. #EconSky

Good advice

Grand way to end a beautiful Saturday

Healthcare is a human right. I will not rest until we do everything we can to keep your healthcare costs low.

Is this the rapture in Solmes Harbor Maine ?

Good morning 🌞

Our beloved Red Sox lost, but Yankees games are always a great time to enjoy.

24 years ago, I was on a morning flight from Newark to Boston, flying over Manhattan. I’ve always felt deep gratitude it wasn’t the other way. That day united us in care and compassion. Sad how divided we’ve become since. Stay well. Care for each other. Offer a helping hand or kind word.

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people. Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it. We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

Mahina Kai !

According to Oxfam the wealth of the richest 1% has surged by $33.9 trillion since 2015, enough to eliminate annual global poverty 22 times over

Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION Starbucks worker pay: $15,000 Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000 CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker. In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more. The system is rigged.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

🌊 Maine is about as far from Florida as you can get on the East Coast of the U.S. — not only in miles, but in mindset. Same coastline, same country, two very different visions of what it means to live in America. My view in Rockland, ME this foggy rainy afternoon

New Hampshire has some of the highest energy costs in the country — and the GOP’s Big, Brutal Bill is jacking up costs by cutting off money-saving energy projects across the country and in communities like Windham. I will never stop working to lower your costs and make clean energy affordable.

Happy Birthday to the National Park Service! Since Aug 25, 1916, it has protected America’s natural & historic wonders to “leave them unimpaired for future generations.” May we be bold enough to plan a gift as spectacular for those who come after us. #NPSBirthday

Just saw all your comments from last night’s post and someone shared a pic, Orlando showed up and used chalk to bring the rainbow crosswalk back! We love this so much!!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Martin Luther King Jr once said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” While that is reassuring, I think the United States is currently testing the tensile strength of that arc with all the injustice, hatred, and corruption it is piling on.

Sunset on Monday, Aug 18 — the last day my dear friend and neighbor Kay and I both stood on this Blue Marble we call home. 🌍 With over 100 trips around the sun, she was a force for good in our community. Rest in peace, Kay. 💙✨

It’s amazing that Washington DC can achieve its lowest crime rate in 30 years when 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is experiencing its highest crime rate in history.

Good morning

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

Mahina Kai!

Another beautiful day in Buzzards Bay

Have I had enough coffee to start my Saturday morning project ?

Waiting to board my flight home to Boston, two women behind me were laughing. One said, “I need to grow up.” I turned and said, “What are you thinking? Growing up is overrated — stay a kid forever.” Got a big laugh. Mission accomplished. ✈️😄 #TravelMoments #StayYoung

On the way to Logan, my driver asked where I was going. “Toronto,” I said. “How are Canadians?” he asked. “Just like Americans—only a bit nicer.” At the airport, I saw a giant 🇨🇦 flag next to a huge diversity flag. Message received, loud and clear: “Welcome to Canada.”

@nh50501.bsky.social Rage Against The Regime August 2, 2025

On this day in 1987, the FCC voted 4-0 to abolish the Fairness Doctrine—once requiring broadcasters to present balanced views on controversial issues. Was this the beginning of the end of truth in American media?
