I've been loving seeing all the progressives win out the last few days over there

A Katie Wilson for mayor campaign graphic that says we're right on track! today we won about 55% of the newly counted ballots. we are within 2% of the incumbent. if the drop on Monday follows the same trajectory, we will be squarely ahead. it's going to be a long weekend. many ballots are being challenged! Make sure you track your ballot at the link in bio. our amazing volunteers will be working to make sure every vote counts.

We’re on the right track! Make sure you track your ballot to confirm it is accepted, NOT challenged. Check our links in bio to do so! More votes will be counted on Monday!

Union nurses joined Bernie Sanders in Portland for the Fighting Oligarchy Tour. We stood with thousands calling to build worker power, take on the billionaire class, win health care for all and end the genocide in Gaza. When we fight, we win!

This is what journalists should be doing, exposing the truth about Farage, rather than playing along with his game...

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Most of this thread from an ex-staffer revealing the donor class capture of @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social behind the scenes was removed by oligarch-owned X.

It's a sign of who EW really works for--she's STILL quietly siding w/ the oligarchy over us #mamdani #FightingOligarchy

a real political scandal is that Nigel Farage addressed a neo-Nazi rally and he hasn't been shunned and shamed into non-existence

Four individuals wearing red shirts labeled "Nurses for Democracy" standing together at an outdoor event, smiling.

Person holding signs reading "FUND CARE" and "NOT BILLIONAIRES" at a public demonstration.

This Labor Day, nurses rallied in New Orleans to send a powerful message: we stand with workers, not billionaires! ✊

And SCOTUS will OK it b/c they already said everything he does as POTUS is legal.😝

Oh well, anything to upset the guy in the meantime is a win.😂

Federal appeals court strikes down major chunk of Trump’s tariffs The ruling will not take effect right away, giving the administration time to appeal to the Supreme Court.

NEW: An appeals court concluded that Trump misused his emergency powers to impose sweeping tariffs on U.S. trading partners, casting a cloud over the trade deals he’s been making. SCOTUS is next.

w/ Doug Palmer, Dan DesRochers @joshgerstein.bsky.social

The ruling, however, doesn’t take effect immediately. The court withheld the mandate for its decision until *Oct. 14*

BREAKING: Appeals court rejects Trump’s authority to impose sweeping tariffs under IEEPA. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“We discern no clear congressional authorization by IEEPA for tariffs..Given these considerations, we conclude Congress..did not give the President wide-ranging authority to impose tariffs of the nature of the Trafficking and Reciprocal Tariffs simply by the use of the term 'regulate..importation.'"

The New Orleans That Hurricane Katrina Revealed Twenty years ago, the storm showed how few resources a city built on extraction had.

A history of extraction and exploitation feels ever-present in New Orleans, but it was perhaps most visible after Hurricane Katrina, which occurred 20 years ago this week.

heartbreaking flood photo of a part of New Orleans east of downtown during Katrina, day after landfall.

On this day 20 years ago, Hurricane Katrina made landfall.

I only moved to New Orleans in 2023, but Katrina's impact is still seen and felt all over the city.

20 years since Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans 💔

I heard so many tales of horror & suffering from my friends who lived there at the time - especially those evacuated to the Superdome

“Bitter Ashes,” a song I wrote & performed with Nox Arcana, is my requiem for all we lost that August:

Are they trying to rewrite Dubya's legacy ON THIS DAY like his neglect of New Orleans was an oopsie? Kanye saying he didn't care about Black people was the last time he was right. Y'all gone whitewash all these fascists including Trump & give them storied places in the pantheon.
