ISDS sucks.

Now would be a good time to announce your retirement Susan Collins. #MESenate

Hey everybody, let's ignore that dumb op-ed by Matt Yglesias and instead focus on something great that was released today: the annual CLIMATE DENIERS report! h/t to the inimitable @kso23.bsky.social www.americanprogress.org/article/clim...

Trump says economy strengthening, despite weakening. www.bangordailynews.com/2025/12/17/n...

Enacting reforms to build worker power and voice is essential to ensuring Americans are able to access other key progressive workplace priorities, such as paid sick and family and medical leave. https://ampr.gs/4pxJyXj

Thank you @whitehouse.senate.gov @repdelbene.bsky.social for introducing the Clean Competition Act–a bill that would support American manufacturing and our climate. We need positive ideas like this out there. Here are 5 things you should know about the CCA... www.epw.senate.gov/public/index...

“It was the beginning of Nana Banana Pro…”

Back in college, bunch of us drank too much then decided to go see Hannibal. I fell asleep almost immediately but was startled awake for an extremely grotesque scene I’d rather not explain. Flip side… seeing Avengers Endgame opening night at 1am was a blast. Place was cheering and crying.

I love how @dmk1793.bsky.social just might be somehow responsible for Project 2029.

Once again I am apologizing to you on behalf of the US, Chris…

The UMaine Graduate Workers Union - @uaw.org deserves a fair contract. Chancellor Malloy must end the union-busting, stop stalling, and negotiate a fair contract.

Gotta be ready for when the supremes come for the NLRA!

Wholeheartedly agree... and wrote about it here: renewal.org.uk/articles/del...

“This is where America’s next century of steel is being forged.” This is the CEO of US Steel saying it will run its coal-based facilities into the ground and leave for non-union states, rather than reinvest in cleaner technologies in the towns that birthed the steel industry. Shameful legacy.

"Climate change is a global problem...but the solutions are local." 🌎 Hear from #COP30 attendees about how collaborating with the U.S. is important to finding solutions to the climate crisis.

THE DWEEBS ARE WRONG.

I’d like the advice of an expert. @griffinmcelroy.bsky.social What level charm spell do we think Zohran used on Trump?

mamdani rolled a nat 20

Some billionaires, while building "apocalypse shelters" as personal escape hatches from the climate crisis, are urging Democrats to stop talking about and adopting policies to tackle this existential threat. Don't buy their bullshit. 1/ @aaronregunberg.bsky.social @thenewrepublic.bsky.social

The Trump Administration doesn't care about domestic manufacturing... for the zillionth time.

Did his signature look like his signature on the Epstein birthday card?

Imports are way down, exports remain flat, and domestic manufacturing continues to contract. So who's winning? Other than Trump, of course, who got a gold bar and a rolex from the Swiss just recently to help seal their trade deal... www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/u...

👀 NEWS: Larry Summers resigns from the Center for American progress as part of withdrawal from public life after Epstein disclosures.

Rick Levy! One of the absolute best. I hope what's next is deeply fulfilling brother.

Well this is already fruitful, one quick search for "union" and we get some potential shady shit...

The return of the COP to a democracy could not come at a more decisive moment. Progressives must show that climate leadership is national strength, argue @fcoloninfl.bsky.social and @johanhassel.bsky.social for @elpais.com: t.co/kbA0WU16uA

Listen to Aurelia: Everybody likes unions! If you don't have one in your workplace, have you thought about forming one? (aflcio.org/formaunion)

😡 Shockingly, it was actually working, with much higher private leverage than expected, which is of tremendous interest to people like me, but cold comfort to those whose jobs have now disappeared 👇

It's your friday reminder that giving up on green industrial policy means giving up on domestic manufacturing investment... heatmap.news/climate-tech...

An exceptional Saturday morning jaunt through a critical moment in labor history!

@steelworkers.bsky.social just elected their next slate of leaders... with one of the absolute best humans I know set to be sworn in as President come March 1st. Congrats Roxanne!!! usw.org/press-releas...

Music and bird tattoos is all I got. Though the tree of life and/or Calvin and Hobbes just might wind up on my body sooner rather than later.

IT'S BACK!!! John Tesh performs "Roundball Rock" live on TV 🥹

There’s actual Nazi-like shit we’re dealing with in this Administration. Can we not waste time concocting bullshit about our own candidates? Whether you like them or not! Sincerely, A pissed off NY Jew who’s lived in Maine for nearly a dozen years.

Paraphrasing one of my favorite poets… What better place than here? What better time than now? Who else but us? #NoKings (From the small town of Yarmouth, ME where the people showed up!)

There’s 1,000 times more chatter about the Maine senate race in a year than about Maine’s ballot measure in 3 weeks that’d bring voter ID and crack down on mail voting… maybe let’s start there??? boltsmag.org/maine-questi...

Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil. The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips. Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms. If this isn't corruption, what is?

NEW: The "compact" the Trump administration proposed to 9 universities earlier this month is a dangerous trap -- not only would the deal cede significant control over colleges, but it would open them and their leaders up to great legal risk. www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

Fifteen years after Citizens United opened the floodgates of corporate and dark political money, the Center for American Progress has figured out how to slam them back shut. CAP published its groundbreaking how-to report today: "The Corporate Power Reset That Makes Citizens United Irrelevant."

Trump’s 2nd term has left many clinging to the status quo on climate multilateralism. We argue for more. Proud to publish w/ @americanprogress.bsky.social 's Ryan Mulholland & @mwilli.bsky.social on how global trade policy can back workers, industries & the planet. 🔗 renewal.org.uk/blog/a-multi...

Today, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released its latest jobs report for August 2025. The report found that the U.S. economy under President Donald Trump added just 22,000 jobs last month and the national unemployment rate has increased to 4.3 percent.
