Ran into Speaker Johnson and told him exactly how I feel about Republicans shutting down the government to protect pedophiles and jack up health care costs for 24 million Americans.

Um, who is the idiot that nixed this money maker? Cause, this is the best way to get me to play an Assassin's Creed game! And I would legit drop MONEY on it!

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

My district #AZ07 is without a voice in the House.

@speakerjohnson.bsky.social is afraid of the number 218. #CowardJohnson

House Republicans just adjourned their pro forma session.

This is the fifth time they’ve refused to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva.

I'm back in D.C. and joining my colleagues in the Capitol to talk about the health care cliff and what we're doing to stop Americans' coverage premiums from doubling.

I'll be speaking in a few minutes — join me here:

No. They. Can't.

Senators have no say in who the Speaker of the House is. This is basic 7th grade civics. It's all literally right there in Article I of the Constitution.

Her entire Senate campaign proved how unserious of a person she was.

The pumpkin spice adult equivalent of a diaper wipe and dish soap are abominations that shouldn't exist.

Pumpkin dog treats are really not that uncommon, especially since there is branded pumpkin puree sold for upset pet tummies.

I will eat those Cheerios, and you can judge me all you want, idc.

I hope you are following as many Dem congresspersons as possible because everyone is going all out messaging about the shutdown. I don’t want to hear ‘only ___and ___ are doing anything’. Pay attention and join in. WE need to do OUR part to help. Messaging is not just up to politicians.

It's a night for playing Timberborn and listening to the Float album by Flogging Molly.

I just filled it out, and my approach is to bring to their attention the actual actions of ICE and DHS. I'll even start using links to news articles covering these actions.

I am again asking that literally anyone at all bother to cover the criminal case of a former presidential candidate who received a little over 862,000 votes in 2024 & over 1.4 million in 2016 in the general elections.

So did Jill Stein’s criminal charges get tossed on a technicality for which side of the campus the alleged assault of a police officer occurred or was it transferred as the prosecutors wanted? I haven’t seen an update since June & AI results can’t find updates beyond not being a known conviction. 🤷‍♂️

Jefferson Davis should have never been allowed to pen Rise & Fall of The Confederacy, he should have been dead within 2 months of CSA's fall.

Fuck you asshole. Being molested by an adult is nothing to fucking joke about. Piss off. You're finding humor in my and hundreds of others trauma is sickening and gross. Fuck you.

I didn't have any mutuals, but damn so many white people (Fry Shocked Not Shocked Gif) and anonymous accounts in there.

We should have. And imo the people who find humor in our traumas are just as bad as our abusers.

I'm putting the effort to block every single positive looking interaction with that post until she blocks me before I can block her.

Thank you. This is one of the few times I'm willing to put in the effort to block every single user who liked, reposted, or laughed in a quote post. I wish I had the will power to make a block list, cause they all deserve to be in one.

I had to tell them to fuck off. Mine and other victims' childhood traumas aren't jokes. This shit is why people don't report sexual assaults.
