These politicians aren't in disarray. They fucking hate you. They don't work for you.

Reminder that, unless a creative freelancer has a spouse with a day job that offers health insurance, they likely have an ACA plan. And with the hits to creative industries the past few years, I'm guessing many qualify for subsidies. Related reminder that comic creators are freelancers.

If I said what I wanted to say about the Senate Democrats who apparently aren't up for reelection any time soon I would absolutely be visited by some alphabet agency spook.

Schumer chose 8 Senators not up for election in 2026 to take the sellout "deal". They're hiding. The centrist Democratic leadership knows that the blue base hates these spineless cowards. They hope that we forget by 2028 or 2030. That we won't kick them out. Prove them wrong.

I don't think it's cowardice. I think that they are OK with what the GOP is doing. The sooner folks reconcile with this, the better.

If the rest don’t oust Schumer immediately, then the entire U.S. Senate sold us out. They think we’re stupid. It’s insulting.

May they never know peace in public again. Even after they retire. Your actions have consequences that will effect people for their whole lives so you get to live with it for the rest of your life.

2026 Primary thread!

fellow midwest white girls, please join me in giving a fuck about politics and making your local (probably) republican congressperson/senator regret the day they got you as a constituent. take that seething rage and direct it at the people making six figures to not actually represent your interests.

Schumer needs to resign and Hochul needs to appoint Brad Lander to his seat.

If you’ve historically been a “vote blue no matter who” type, it’d be cool if you could use this moment to understand why vilifying leftists who actually do think it matters is basically a psyop you accidentally fell for. This is why people warn you about guys like Newsom.

I'll be the fun police. Don't play Arc Raiders. Do better. Play a game with real voice acting.

And please miss me with your “we’re David Hogg” and the white savior yall keep choosing to center instead of the moms getting arrested , the folks knocking on doors , the folks flipping school boards and changing DECADES old super majorities

I love getting thoughts on AI from people who don’t know how to attach PDF’s

One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law! That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.

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.

so fucking on the nose for the establishment Democrats to see a massive wave of election wins this week, ESPECIALLY Mamdani's, and learn absolutely nothing from it

Please if anyone has room in their lives and homes for two very very sweet kitties. A good friend’s allergies are getting worse and he can’t keep them (and they can’t be separated)

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him And they should, given this is his fault.

Call them: Schumer (NY) 202 224-6542 Booker (NJ) 202 224-3224 King (ME) 202 224-5344 Hassan (NH) 202 224-3324 Durbin (IL) 202 224-2152 Ossoff (GA) 202 224-3521 Shaheen (NH) 202 224-2841 Gillibrand (NY) 202 224-4451 Masto (NV) 202 224-3542 Warner (VA) 202 224-2023 Fetterman (PA) No Point

If the rumors are right, now's the time to call. If the rumors are wrong, well, you've just reminded them to hold the line. Call.

Love calling my Senator & Reps office and getting a "Please call back during regular hours" I WOULDN'T BE CALLING ON THE WEEKEND IF YOU'RE COWORKERS DIDNT DO DUMB SHIT ON THE WEEKEND!

That "It took me years to become an overnight success!" joke is not, in fact, a joke.

If you’re a writer using LLMs to do your work, I have less than zero respect for you. It is a goddamn privilege to do what we do. There are a bajillion other ways to overcome creative blocks, not the least of which is being a friggen professional and writing through it.

if you are calling your senators on a weekend, it’s highly likely their office is closed. Some of them don’t have voicemail boxes. CA Senator Padilla‘s DC Office doesn’t have voicemail. His LA office does. Try the different offices. Call your senators.

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line. Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding! Find them here: reps.fyi

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

I do not think it's a big ask for people to remember trans people exist, and yet trans mascs/nbs so often get left out of "women's" reproductive rights and similar discussions, even by the most well meaning and supportive people and publications

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

Here’s A Comic About Elon Musk & His Infinite Possibilities

The smartest thing a politician can do in 2026 is to come up with a bold plan for shoring up and EXPANDING public libraries. Call it Project 2050. It's a way to reintroduce the grammar of commoning and the commons to a new generation in a way they can easily grasp. Such low hanging fruit.

For the people who think they are bothering the artist by commissioning them again and again YOU ARE NOT!! WE LOVE YOU!! 😳💗 Biggest form of flattery in my mind!

I think that superhero movies have done a number of human beings conditioning some people to believe that extraordinary actions are what matter. And if one can't be a superhero, then simple, ordinary efforts aren't worth doing.

Literally every dem should be shouting from the rooftops that republicans are giving Americans two choices: die from starvation or from a lack of affordable healthcare.

Men: Women want a man who is 6', has a 6 pack, and makes 6 figures Women: I want a man who will listen, make plans, and ideally carry snacks for when I have forgotten to eat and am about to be hangry.

I'd blame venture capitalist for this but Funko got bought in 2022. It was probably that time they had a bunch of old stock people wanted and rather than selling them they apparently sent them to a landfill because reasons???

Grateful for this Delta flight attendant for providing some clarity on the upcoming changes to flights during the holidays. Listen in ⬇️

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.
