Call Chuck Schumer and tell him to defend Ilhan Omar publicly or resign. (202) 224-6542
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 4d agoI've got a woman in my mentions insisting Chuck Schumer doesn't need to speak out about the president's efforts to strip a Democratic congresswoman of her citizenship because "some people in the House already said something." Oh, word? Then no need for the actual leaders to lead here. My bad.
@minakimes.bsky.social “hit me with your Prescott” is inspired
The next installment in my Down With The Count series is here, detailing the time Spider-Man and Dracula crossed paths! On a boat! It’s weird.

Cool that they have just enough power to be scared to lose it, but not enough to do anything with it
John in AZ@blurt107.bsky.social · 2w agoAnd yet if all 30+ republican senators stood together in solidarity, they could actually stand up to t-rump. Spineless cowards.

Ben Skipper@bskipper.bsky.social · 2w agoCheck out this moron discovering what PR and marketing are
Btw this is infinitely worse than saying “America deserved 9/11”
the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Absolutely insanity that the president of the United States is joking about US cities being destroyed by the country we're at war with and it's just another Tuesday. Like this will disappear from the news cycle in less than 24 hours, if it even makes a blip.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."
ICE must be defunded and destroyed in its entirety and every person who enabled and worked for it must be stripped of all honor and government employment forever. Their names should be added to registries and people should be notified if they're moving into their neighborhoods. They're dangerous.
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 3w agoThis is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

This lovely review of our first issue of THE AMAZING VENOM says that the book "does it's own weird thing," which is the highest compliment you can give a work of art. THE AMAZING VENOM from me and Luke Ross is in comic shops NOW!
AIPT@aiptcomics.com · 3w ago"Surprisingly funny and sweet, The Amazing Venom #1 is a debut issue that, while exposition-heavy, is bolstered by the fun chemistry of its two leads." @jordanmorris.bsky.social #comicsky Read @jonwahizzle.bsky.social's review:
