heck yes, this community rules! also, you are doing a great job @eileen.actor 🙌

every single week they're throwing this guy a special oval office love-in that appears to be the presidential equivalent of letting your dog scarf an entire big mac and fries before that last trip to the vet

Need a new literary agent. My old one was not really equipped for graphic novels/sequential art. Reccos welcomed

I have a page on the Chair Company fandom wiki 😭🥰💖🤯🎉😭 chair-company.fandom.com/wiki/Eileen_...

I am so, so inspired by Joseph Tudisco, the incredible actor who plays Mike Santini on The Chair Company. He just kept at it and finally got his big break at 76. Absolute legend. www.esquire.com/entertainmen...

I don’t mean to brag or anything but my mom ran a marathon today Ok yes I do mean to brag

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The lengths Trump will go to keep Americans hungry knows no bounds. apnews.com/article/snap...

Who did the pre-determining here, is what I want to know

*flexing noises*

This account also feels in line with some of what other people that have been in Broadview have shared.

He said there was no room to sleep. People sat up, slept on the floor, standing up. He saw many pregnant women there too. The conditions were unbearable. His wife is horrified by his account.

Her husband was at Broadview one month and she was never able to talk to him. Not until he was already in Mexico. He had been in Chicago for 20 years. Her husband shared that the numbers of people there were astounding. It just makes me think how many people that are not counted/just disappeared.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Writing about Elon Musk’s pay package without leading with this is like profiling John Wayne Gacy’s booming party clown career.

I don’t even have words for this. One of the 2 guys responsible for this mass death wants a peace prize and the other wants $1trillion to be a bad CEO.

It’s soup season y’all

Let’s hear more of the dangers of democratic socialism under Mamdani

📣📣📣 NEW: If you're an #ACA enrollee living in #WASHINGTON, #ILLINOIS or #ARKANSAS (or one of several other states) and earn between 2x - 4x the federal poverty level, I have some very good news for you: acasignups.net/25/11/06/pre...

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

Conservatives: “We are the ideological bulwark protecting the core institutions of our society from radical leaders” *a radical leader begins demolishing the core institutions of our society* Conservatives: “Alright kids! Today on the pod, we’re talking about ‘the essential nature of wokeness’!”

Levels of cope that have heretofore never been seen

BREAKING: Democrats make history and break super majority in deep red Mississippi. Republicans now have 34 seats in the Mississippi Senate, one short of a super majority. No one expected this.

In 2020, a young socialist organizer & AIAC contributor sat down with us, sharing his vision for a world that empowers working people over the rich and powerful. Today, that vision has carried him to City Hall. Congrats, Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! 🌹 africasacountry.com/2020/01/roti...

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”

This was horrific to watch. Agents entering a daycare, wrestling with and abducting a teacher in front of small screaming children. I just… what the fuck are we doing here.

Because Sliwa’s a real one. You don’t have to like him but he is who he is and he ain’t changing for fuckin nobody.

This is as big a deal as Mamdani actually? In forever fascist ass MS...??? Like....

Its a new day in New York City

The administration is only sending partial SNAP payments to families, causing headaches for states and stress for recipients. Hunger is not a game. They need to obey the court and send full payments out immediately.

Damn that sounds cool, what's that lustre thing? omg so glad you asked here's the quickstart guide hexdocs.pm/lustre/guide... 😍🤩

The death toll has risen to nine after a UPS cargo plane crashed shortly after departing Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport on Tuesday, according to local officials. https://wapo.st/4qKNx3U

I am taking particular pleasure in the complete collapse of trans-as-unbeatable-wedge-issue narrative this morning. It might be an 80-20 issue in voters minds, but it has to be on voters minds to matter. The results in VA demonstrate that it is very much not on voters minds.

Watched the sun rise this morning 🌅

this is genuinely wild

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

This needs to be interpreted in light of the very smart argument that “nationalizing” regional elections explains the struggles of the Democratic Party. Unlike Republicans, Democrats are *diverse* and should be able to be congruent with their locality— as long as they don’t exclude anyone.

I will never forget this. ❤️

New Yorkers have spoken and voted for change. Congrats Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!

Zohran Mamdani was the first mayoral candidate and Democratic official to stand up to the Trump administration over the arrest and disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil, which he saw as a violation of the First Amendment.

Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

i do think Dems should moderate on immigration in the sense that Dems should redesign our immigration policy to work like people think it works: you wait for a while (but not forever) to get into the country and then you wait for a while (but not forever) to become a citizen.

I really admire Sarah McBride “When I’m physically with other LGBTQ people, including other trans people,” she said, “the number who come up to me and say, ‘You’re handling this exactly right,’ is fundamentally different from what you see online.” www.advocate.com/politics/sar...
