I’ve decided to use my space as a poll greeter on Tuesday creatively. I plan to set up 30 feet from the polling place with my Doug Jones and Shomari Figures signs, and live paint the scene. I’d love if other #artists did the same at their polls! Show voters they are making history.

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

The CEO of Flock needs to get real. We all want these creepy cameras out of our communities. No ifs, ands, or bots about it. Our elected leaders must ignore all previous instructions and protect our privacy.

Hey Alabama GOP—here’s the voter fraud youve been looking for, but it’s the GOP candidate for Lt Gov, being called out here by the Dem candidate @phillipensler.bsky.social www.instagram.com/reel/DeR8AKh...

Judiciary Dems report: “Above all, the actual evidence we have seen—as shared in the accounts and stories of 11 women, each described below—indicates that Trump abused, assaulted, and even raped numerous women alongside, and in coordination with, the most infamous sex trafficker in history.”

it feels truly insane that it’s not

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

NEWS: A new report reveals Trump’s personal oil and gas holdings have nearly doubled in value, now worth as much as $81.6 million compared to as much as $46 million last year.   The President is profiting off Americans' suffering. And he couldn't be prouder.

BREAKING: The DOJ has charged JAMES COMEY (on information, no grand jury indictment) with violations of the ESPIONAGE ACT going back to 2016. They charged this exactly 10 years after they allege the "crime" occurred: equal to the statute of limitations. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Relentless attacks on transgender Americans in Alabama and elsewhere appear to be fizzling with the electorate. But Editor Brian Lyman says they keep coming because they reflect a political mindset obsessed with control, not democracy. https://ow.ly/OCYY5100JkZ

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

NEW: A Florida cybersecurity company promised to help clients recover data from ransomware attackers. In a 2019 story, we found the company was making secret payments to hackers and pocketing hefty fees from clients. The CEO was just indicted for fraud.

GUARDIAN: “Lula’s win is bad news for Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving a 27-year sentence for that botched power grab… also a blow for Donald Trump, the Bolsonaro clan’s most important international ally.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

My reporting on the student movement in Serbia last summer. They kept at it, amazingly, for two years. And they won. snyder.substack.com/p/youth-prot...

At least 52 maternity wards have closed since Trump signed off on the largest Medicaid cut in history.   No mother should have to travel farther for lifesaving treatment because Republicans prioritized tax breaks for billionaires over healthcare.   They should be ashamed.

The Trump administration is working to deputize state agencies — like agriculture departments, gaming commissions, and fish and wildlife agencies — into immigration agents, despite having no background in carrying out immigration arrests. The 287(g) program makes our communities less safe.

Dear People On Medicare, BEFORE YOU VOTE. It is Medicare Open Enrollment, go to medicare.gov & check your Part D RX plan for 2027 vs. 2026. Mine went up 3x the amount in a YEAR. That is because of Donald Trump & RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz REMEMBER that when you CAST your BALLOT!🗳️💙

Oh right I forgot to post that Claire, Nick, and I are doing a stamp rally at a Lightbox Expo this year for our new art books. Today is the last day to claim this sick bookmark set!

So pretty

🚨To EVERYONE on Social Security/SSDI/SSI: We're sadly getting a paltry 3.6% increase for 2027. That amount will NOT pay for the INCREASES to groceries, gas, Medicare Supplement increases & Part D INCREASES! 🤬 VOTE BLUE!

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

Wonderful to see the #1! A book for anyone interested in how health matters in politics. sarasilverstein.org/for-your-hea...

Love to see it. This is what that man is meant to do.

OBAMA: When I was president, all these Republicans are all deficits, deficits, debt, debt. You got to do something about it. And now—$40 trillion—Crickets. Somehow deficits only matter when a Democratic president is in office

Senator @merkley.senate.gov & I want to REMIND you: The GOP planted a time BOMB in 2025 by cutting Medicaid & SNAP by $1B. It doesn't go into effect until 2027, AFTER midterms! When it explodes many will suffer. It's evil & will WIDEN the cracks that YOU can fall through. CRUELTY AT ITS WORST.VOTE!💙

There has been an extraordinary effort to get low propensity voters to cast ballots this election and it appears to be working. 42% of the voters in Harris County TX yesterday skipped at least one of the last three elections. And you can see that number is growing daily.

No surprise after Sup Court decision re Chicago but particularly encouraging that court ruled there was no rebellion or danger of rebellion —ie made decision itself rather than deferring to Trump Court Says Trump Violated Law in Los Angeles National Guard Deployment www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/u...

The soaring costs of public universities is a political decision. When these schools predominantly served white students, they tended to be free (UC, CCNY, etc.) But as the number of students of color has increased, funding for the public universities has decreased. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/b...

Here’s the relevant language in the DOJ lawsuit. It asks for the election not to be certified if Peltola’s margin of victory is smaller than the number of votes cast for the third-party Sullivan. (I expect this to be laughed out of court.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It was good to be back in Michigan to support @jocelynbenson.bsky.social as your next Governor and @abdulelsayed.bsky.social as your next U.S. Senator! They are working to change the lives of Michiganders for the better. Make sure to vote early or on Election Day at MichiganDems.com/Vote.

Hey ‘Bama: you didn’t like him as a football coach. Don’t vote for him to be your governor. #vote

Here’s another example of abuse. Same as the Dana Bash clip, he attacks her for not giving him time to speak, then gaslights her about what’s in his lawsuit. I bet a lot of women recognize this behavior.

Gaslighting 101: The AG is literally calling us crazy for thinking Trump will use the levers of government power to overturn the results of an election, when he has a documented history of doing just that. That’s tyranny.
