#Black voters are the base of the Democratic Party but their numbers are consistently low every election cycle. I’m always curious why that is (aside from lack of polling stations). Why do Black voters not show up consistently like white voters?

The current early vote upshot is that pretty much everywhere you look, the Dem % of voters compared to this point in past cycles (2024, 2022) is about 2-5 %age points higher. Dems are super engaged. Rs are hoping for high relative late or Election Day turnout — very hard with an unpopular incumbent

So curious why so many in SC won’t vote democrat. South Carolina is last in everything and nothing will change until people vote for some kind of change.

All DarLINE can talk about is how she WAS poor. Not poor now. And she’s clearly got some hostility. #SCDebate She’s really pushing the radical liberal terror.

I keep thinking about Jane Doe. After 7 hours, did they just let her leave? Was she alone? Were they still hurting her? The horror and confusion she must have felt especially as one of her supposed friends did this to her. I cannot stop thinking about her.

If we are being honest to the Greek system will never be abolished. That being said, fraternities should be held to the same standards and codes of conduct that every single sorority is in this country.

People want the best pilots flying their plane and they want to see the best doctors when they are unwell. But they will elect the dumbest pieces of garbage into public office. Stop collecting clowns. #schmitt #hawkeyes

I don’t know why we keep calling them the Cornell 7 when it’s really the Cornell 57 because they were 50 other men on that group chat and not a single one did anything to stop what happened to Jane Doe. 

I can say with complete confidence that 7 women would not drug one man, do ketamine off his body, text others about free c*ck, and then proceed to SA said man for SEVEN HOURS. #cornell Only men do these heinous acts…and only men get away with it.

A woman was drugged, raped, and sexually trafficked to members of a fraternity. Two of the men involved were expelled. Five were given the opportunity to mitigate suspension by *writing an essay.* The dozens of other men who knew this was happening and said nothing? You already know the answer.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

It’s almost 90° on September 18. It would be really awesome if Major news outlets would put climate change on front page. What are we even doing, people?

The ghost turtle stuns to cast a hate vote even though he’s taking a three month leave of absence on tax dollars even though he’s voted against that countless times. How do people continue to vote for absolute pieces of shit humans?

I think we are truly beyond the point where we can remember 9/11 without playing last phone calls, watching firefighters watch as people jump, and so on. This is not healthy to replay every year for 25 years the horrors of the day.

When Democrats flip the house and the Senate, I’m going to need to see some hard-core push against AI and get regulations in place STAT. Not sure if you’re registered? Take a moment and check and get that taken care of. www.vote.org

Mercury (Cessily Kincaid) is part of the X-Men group Hellions and the New X-Men comics. She has the power to transform and shape shift between solid or liquid forms. Because of her metallic gift the X-Men fandom has dubbed her the “T-1000” of the X-Men. #marvelcomics #xmen #mercury #cessilykincaid
