A thought for this Sunday

@GottaLaff Wait, you mean President Biden didn't threaten to refuse aid to Florida, even though they have a Republican governor? Hmm, maybe all the 'weaponization' is a myth?

SAG just announced a strike vote for the actors in the video game industry.

UAW could walk out in two weeks, with 150,000 workers shutting down the big U.S car makers.

Unions are surging and workers are winning big. This Labor Day feels different.

Wonder why the men don't wear them, then! (Maybe because it's about subjugation, not protection??)

Does anyone know if there's an updated version of this "Trans in the South" guide to services?

It's a few years old, but should still be of some use.

If any #trans or other #LGBTQ+ need help with supplies for a go-bag, especially those living in #MAGA or red states, dm me and I will try to help.

My video skills are basic, but I felt compelled to animate Super Mr Orange Pants. I don't know how to add a decent super hero cape. 😆

@GreenFire @wdlindsy

This. In the 2016 Presidential Election, more people FAILED TO VOTE than the number that voted for FPOTUS.

The nutcases are below 33%, which is (checks math), less than below 50%

It will not be close if people vote.

@SpaceLifeForm @wdlindsy
Which is what makes me so upset at all of the people on social media that post more about what they think Democrats are doing wrong than they do trying to convince people to vote for the opposition party to the GOP.

Until we get better turnout at Democratic primaries we'll keep getting people like Menendez in office too which doesn't help engender much enthusiasm for sure.

#NobelPrize foundation scraps plan to invite #Russia, #Belarus after criticism

The #NobelFoundation reversed course on Saturday & said it would not invite the ambassadors of Russia & Belarus to this year’s award ceremony in Stockholm, after a decision to invite them back to the annual event drew objections in #Sweden & #Ukraine.

Just imagine how horrific things might be in Alabama if it were not a resolutely pro-life state dominated by resolutely pro-life Christians!
