Roll the drums: #LaborFest is here! #wiunion #UnionsForAll #UnionStrong
Proud to march with thousands of Wisconsin workers at #LaborFest in Milwaukee today—including our hardworking Lieutenant Governor, Mandela Barnes!
At the LaborFest in Madison, proud to celebrate a landmark victory: after eight years of a governor who tried to crush working people, Wisconsin rose up and elected a governor who believes in them. Wisconsin works best when we say “union yes!”
Great to see the great @Marci4MKE at #LaborFest today!
This #LaborDay, for the first time in a long time, Wisconsin has a governor who believes in labor.
Solidarity forever!
When we fight, we win. Not just on Labor Day—every day. That’s how @blocbyblocMKE does it.
Great turnout for Labor Day events in both Madison and Milwaukee. Thanks especially to whoever arranged the perfect weather.

Betsy DeVos is coming to Wisconsin. So I’m heading to Milwaukee early tomorrow morning to join @MTEAunion and Milwaukee families in sending a crystal clear message: the Trump/DeVos team might not believe in public schools, but we do.

Spending this morning in a Milwaukee courthouse, at one of the most inspiring experiences our country has to offer: a naturalization ceremony. Immigrants from 33 countries, becoming citizens. And one of them, I’m so proud to say, is my stepfather.

The judge explains that his own immigrant forebears arrived in the USA “not speaking a word of English.” Pulls out his great grandfather’s certificate of naturalization. “Keep yours and show it to your own grandchildren!”

Thanks to all the Dems marching and staffing tables at Labor Day events all over Wisconsin today!
To paraphrase a great proverb: Don’t tell me your values. Show me who you show up for, and I’ll tell you your values. #LaborFest
Trump sent the message that he looks down on Wisconsin workers by hiring a pilot to fly a banner over #LaborFest in Milwaukee rather than doing anything to actually show up on the ground.

▶️Why couldn't they be more creative in counter protest? Always calling people who disagree with the Sino-centrsm as 'traitors'. 😩👇😖

💡'hàn jiān' (漢奸) original meaning in Chinese, someone who betrays 'Han' dynasty.

❓Han Dynasty had long gone.

Now, every country knows there're 'thuggish students' from this 'great country,' calling people ' hàn jiān'(Han traitors'

They could've been more creative.

Proud Boys are beginning to assemble in Portland. As “normal” cops talk to Enrique Tarrio and Joe Biggs, officers in riot gear watch from a distance.

Follow my feed for updates and Facebook.com/n2sreports for livestream throughout today. #Portland #PortlandProtests #PortlandOR
A couple bike squads are hanging out around them with non-lethals.
Two short busses filled with Proud Boys just showed up. I’d say about 100 are here now.

I'm at the #proudboys and South Sound Patriot Alliance March in Tacoma Washington. They are wildly outnumbered having only managed to pull about 15 of their members. @LCRWnews @wrs_salish
A fight broke out because proud boy Tanner Peterson didn't like one of the activists touching his pink vagina hat. Someone throws a punch and Tanner gets taken to the ground. I only caught the audio because I threw my phone in my pocket to assist.
After the groups separated they continued on their March closely followed by a diverse group of activists chanting.

"Watching others lose a child and knowing what they feel brings it all back. I don't have a problem with responsible gun ownership, but there is nothing responsible about owning an AR-15."

"If we want teachers to have to ability to make offensive measures, why not non-lethal weapons? It's terrible that we would have to, but if we do, that route should not be firearms." -@TomPrigg2018
