I need those ACA subsidies. My neighbors need food. I’m not going to fault the only party that wants us to have both for only being able to secure the food. Be mad at Republicans. Be mad at your maga family. Use the rest of your energy to give Democrats a majority.

Y'all are welcome. 😊🖖🏾

I feel like I'm reducing the poetry in this script so it's more palatable to less literate people & I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do… Maybe?

I have receipts for everything. Al-Sharaa went from having a $10M bounty on him to playing ball with the head of CENTCOM in DC

I'm sorry but punditry is not the end all be all of understanding what's happening in government.

Keep in mind that more folks are calling Democrats about this shutdown. There are not enough calls of support. If you can take time to bash them on here, you should be able to call and support them.

Those of us who just got duped into flipping out about something, let's wait to flip out about Democrats "caving". Let the other folks do that and just sit back and watch this play out.

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale. Signed, someone who’s covered the unaccountable War on Terror for 23 years.

I'm now not just thinking social media was a mistake, but I'm side-eyeing speech too. We weren't meant to know how dumb and crabby so many people are.

Funny how, in the wake of successful, free and fair nationwide elections in which Democrats performed splendidly and Republicans, well, stepped on rakes, all these little doomers are crawling out of the woodwork to undermine confidence in the 2026 midterms. Keep calm and vote Democratic.

“Raised legal questions”: … (*thinks of First Amendment*) um, yeah, I’d say so.

Drowned children sold separately.

congrats to everyone for thinking this through before signing very big contracts to put it on every student’s device at the school or university you run

Now that's embarrassing. My "Ask A Black Person" service would have prevented such a public display of ignorance for the low, low price of $10k a month retainer.

Welp. Maybe I need to just give up on the voice thing. And the design thing. Between AI & tariffs, advertising is destroyed.

At this point, reading Axios for insight into Democratic plans leaves you more uninformed than if you didnt follow the news at all

We must remove the language banning same-sex marriage that still exists in Michigan‘s Constitution. I’m taking the first step in the State Senate to put it on the ballot. michiganadvance.com/2025/11/06/m...

The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists. They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver. apnews.com/article/trum...

I wrote this as a lighthearted but realistic take on the realities of living in a ND household based on my own reality, not what's shown on TV (boy genius and his NT family). I felt so alone for so long, like I was doing everything wrong, until I met other families like mine.

The more I see of the content people share, the more I understand cynical comedy has been the biggest purveryor of misinformation and apathy to the point of setting the table for Trump.

Amazon is quietly raising prices much more than its competition. While many companies are raising prices and blaming tariffs, Amazon prices have skyrocketed by an average of 12.8% this year. Their biggest competitors, Walmart and Target, have raised prices about 5%. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/05/a...

When Pam Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while legacy news outlets like the Washington Post wanted to seem "fair" and gave her a thumbs up. Reject both sides journalism by subscribing to Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

you're the BEST, Marc, thank you!!!! everyone needs to go listen to Conversations with Ghosts right now

Spare them prison. Let Azrael's mercy take hold.

This Pennsylvania county stopped charging people 'lodging fees' for the time they spent in jail. Then commissioners voted to forgive over $65 million in these fees. “What a light of hope this has been,” said one woman whose son owed $17,000.

Legislators must be transparent and accountable when making laws. Officers should also be transparent and accountable when enforcing laws. We cannot have masked vigilantes enforcing immigration laws in Michigan. My bill bans ICE agents from covering up their identities.

Michigan Senate President Pro Tempore @jeremymoss.bsky.social (D), author of a bill to unmask ICE agents in the state, responds to a Republican's concerns about ICE agents getting threatened by mentioning that state legislators still do their jobs publicly despite threats against them.

Now, we are savage about design.

Theresa Gillespie Isom flipped a Republican-held Mississippi Senate seat while running on Medicaid expansion and helping rural hospitals.

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*. on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

By this time next week, the estimated deaths due to the illegal destruction of USAID and the shuttering of its aid efforts will breach 400,000. More than 260,000 will be children. Source: www.bu.edu/sph/news/art...

We can't do anything fast enough to prevent this evil SOB from harming trans people & the poor. The fact that I did everything I could doesn't make me feel in any way better.

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

I can't think of a sufficient punishment for the people responsible for this.

Sitting here, eating cold random meat and veg from the fridge, thinking about touching up a script or a pitch, listening to the coffee maker in the kitchen and REAAAALLLY hoping I remembered to put in the coffee pot this time. #atmybest

Left & right pundits need to be in bins, yes pls.

I don't think I can overstate this enough: A Black man in GODDAMNED MISSISSIPPI flipped a red Senate seat blue! My friends, this isn't a canary in a coalmine, it's a damned Flock of Seagulls.

If it's true that RealClearPolitics removed their polling average of the VA Attorney General race because it was wrong, that should really be the nail in the coffin for them. It's GOP polling propaganda that hasn't been rigorous or transparent in a long time (www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-pollin...)

i’m really proud of this essay and am going to keep reposting it ad nauseum! (as if there’s any need to ad more nauseum - THANK YOU I’M HERE ALL WEEK!)

Ignore this man.

Horror ppl should watch Hell-Bound Train (James & Eloyce Gist, 1930) on @criterionchannl.bsky.social. The Gists were Black evangelists & amateur filmmakers who used their films in their sermons. This film is a catalogue of sins. Even w/ no budget, it has surprisingly haunting moments throughout.

On this day 1 year ago our graphic novel was released, to great reviews and disappointing sales. It took 3 years to illustrate. I'm still happy that it exists out there in the world with the possibility for children to enjoy, even if it's buried in a sea of titles.

I'd missed this: Democratic-endorsed candidates *swept* the 6 school board races in Mecklenburg County, one of North Carolina's largest counties (home to Charlotte). This means there won't be a Republican on the board anymore; the sole GOP incumbent was ousted.

I'm looking at news outlets yapping about Mamdani's win with "NYC has a socialist mayor - what does this mean for the city!" & getting freakin' annoyed. Mamdani would be our third socialist mayor. Dinkins & DiBlasio would be 1 & 2 respectively. They mean "Muslim" but can't say "Muslim" & it's gross.

I love that Ingraham actually says the sentence! (The chyron "BY WINNING, DEMOCRATS ARE ACTUALLY LOSING" appears just after)

I need you to google, "Is NYC a "strong mayor" city?" and take a chill pill.

Your platform/beliefs are not progressive if it condones hate of Black, Brown, Jewish, LGBTQ+, Muslim, Women. If it centers your demands, over the needs of everyone. If your whole approach is selective division. It's just smug entitlement with a lack of true political or social awareness.
