Thank you Saul. You’re doing a fantastic job!

On Radio Atlantic, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social and @garrykasparov.bsky.social discuss how Donald Trump could mute the courts. They debate the best way to fight back against authoritarian forces, for both Democrats and average citizens, and agree on the urgency of this moment:

The Path Forward, the film directed by @mohusseini.com and me, screening for International Peace Day in Nazareth.

"Jazmi" works long days harvesting peaches in the Sanger CA area. She earns minimum wage and her job is seasonal. She worries about covering her families' expenses as she earns so little & everything in the stores is so expensive. #WeFeedYou

Good moment to remember that US foreign policy is also being reoriented to enable foreign censors and authoritarian propaganda around the world www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Thank you Erika

We know our priorities in collective bargaining. It’s about our approach to achieving them. NALC President Brian Renfroe met with the Rank-And-File Bargaining Committee to discuss that and more as they begin a busy week of bargaining prep.

It's the peak season in the grape harvest in Arvin CA. "Sonia" is taking boxes back to her packing station. When packed with grapes, each box can weigh up to 22 lbs. It was 11:30 AM on this day and the temperature was already 91°. #WeFeedYou #CALOR

All of America’s foreign broadcasters are in grave danger, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social writes. “Without openly saying so, the United States is reorienting its foreign policy to protect governments that manipulate and censor information.”

Over the decades I have spoken at all of the service academies and War Colleges. They've all known I was "a critic" of many policies This is a really, really ominous development (AFAcad cancelling a speaker, in endowed-lecture series, because she has criticized Trump.) gazette.com/military/air...

End the DC occupation. #FreeDC

❌️🪖 No troops in our streets! @indivisibledupage.bsky.social stands with Chicago and Chicagoland!

No Donald, Chicago is not your war zone

20K people protested Trump’s militarization of DC yesterday! #freedc 📸 @womensmarch.com

"Joel" is working in wine grape country doing the final round of cluster thinning the wine grapes which improves the quality and taste of the remaining grapes. This is a skilled job that takes experience. His union contract means he has the best tools to do his work. #WeFeedYou

Workers harvesting broccoli on CAs Central Coast. They start at 6am and work 8hrs/day. It's hard as they have to bend down, use a knife to cut off the broccoli, stand up and repeat this cycle over and over. They cool down after work and their back just starts aching. #WeFeedYou

A huge thank you to Mike Aaron of Laborers Local 1191 for hosting a perfect food truck Labor Day celebration for so many families to enjoy the holiday together, and for everything you do every day.

Amy G with Riz Ahmed & Laura Dern at Telluride Film Festival. The Amy Goodman doc Steal This Story, Please — coming soon.

Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art

This Labor Day weekend as we enjoy barbecues and picnics, let's remember the farm workers who labor so hard to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay

Once again, the University of Michigan has failed to stand up to the Trump administration. UM Health is ending gender affirming care for minors, despite the fact that it is legal under Michigan law - and gender discrimination is not.

Who doesn't love badass people outsmarting the oil and gas industry? THIS IS NOT A DRILL premiering at the #TellurideFilmFestival this weekend. Oren Jacoby directing, me producing.

WOW “Saul” Thank you for your labor and your passion about work.

Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

It's HOT out there! 🥵 Check out this video about farm workers laboring in the sweltering heat. ¡Hace CALOR ahí fuera! 🥵 Mira este video de campesinos que trabajan bajo un calor sofocante. #Calor #WeFeedYou

Must read www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/o...

I'm not sure who has to hear this, but it is NOT normal that the government sends the military into its own cities. In fact, in many countries, this has led to mass protests... 🙄

Happy for you!

President Trump's takeover of the capital is a direct result of the fact that DC is not a state. Tell your members of Congress to denounce Trump’s abuse of emergency powers and to support DC statehood.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

Reminder that Putin has never said he wants a trilateral meeting, had never said he would respect Ukrainian sovereignty, and has never said he wants to end the war. Not to be a downer, but the discussion of security guarantees is premature.

“Over and over again, we have seen farmworkers go without the heat safety protections they are legally entitled to,” said Teresa Romero, president of the United Farm Workers union. The state’s heat illness prevention enforcement system “isn’t working.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

My friend Deb protesting in DC yesterday. In DC/Md/Va? Check in with Free DC, 50501, Indivisible and others for upcoming protest info as it evolves. #FedsOutOfDC #GetOffMyLawn #DCStatehoodNow

This #MemberMonday, we honor Branch 84 letter carrier Jamie Stevens, who sprang into action to help stop a brutal dog attack on a woman in Pittsburgh. Using dog spray, Stevens was able to help get the dog to release her, potentially saving her life. Thanks for your service!

🗣️ Say it with me: Healthcare for all. Wages with dignity. Fully funded public services. Dignity and safety for every community. Power at work. Tax the billionaires.

We outraised every single candidate in this race without a DIME from corporate PACs. How? YOU. Every dot on this map is someone who believes in what we’re building — and the latest polling shows I’m the *strongest* Democrat to beat Rogers. Let’s do this, Michigan 💪

For years, I have only ever been behind the camera, photographing love and war, and how they collide. Now, I find myself on the other side. From #Oscar winners Chai Vasarhelyi & Jimmy Chin comes LOVE+WAR - coming to @natgeodocs.bsky.social Official Selection @tiffnet.bsky.social #LoveAndWarFilm

Lynsey's photos are in the next edition of @theatlantic.com make sure you get one...

Talk & Draw with Liza Donnelly and Heather Cox Richardson: Voting Rights Act. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Your Pride as a Dad.

Fantastic effort, as always. Thank you NALC.

These CA tomato pickers make 86¢ per bucket. The worker runs back to try and make as many buckets as they can. Because of the hot weather they often only work 4 to 5 hours a day, so every bucket counts towards paying their bills. #WeFeedYou

"While the budget changes bar health providers who perform abortions from being a part of Medicaid, the clinics being closed did not offer abortion services. Their services included tests for sexually transmitted diseases, birth control, cancer screenings..." ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/18/s...

Awesome Liza

🚨 Texas Democrats just pulled one of the boldest moves in recent political history: They walked out, got on airplanes, and broke quorum to block a Trump-backed GOP gerrymander. This is democracy on the line — and Texas Dems are fighting with everything they’ve got.
