Time to become a paid subscriber, Joyce. Thank you for all you do. It's important I support your work as we head into the next few years.

Well, this the first substack I’ve subscribed to! Just downloaded the app. Def looking for alternatives to traditional media nowadays.

dawn4brick.bsky.social•91 days ago

Needed for sure 💙

readerwritergirl.bsky.social•91 days ago

I read her newsletters every day. Highly recommend subscribing. Her “we’re in this together” sign off gives this blue dot in a morbidly red state hope that I’m not really alone.

bren09.bsky.social•91 days ago

This is an excellent source of quality information. Been reading it for a while.

dmp423.bsky.social•91 days ago

💜 Considered & Subscribed!! Thanks for all you do!! 💜

landbird.bsky.social•90 days ago

I can say that after reading Civil Discourse I always feel more current and informed as well as having a sense of how seemingly unrelated events are actually related and relevant.

thehappycook.bsky.social•91 days ago

Read daily & subscribed!

cordeliawa.bsky.social•91 days ago

Fucking terrifying!

sandyinthepacnw.bsky.social•91 days ago

I have completely given up on my steady diet of MSNBC. But you kind lady, I will follow anywhere. Thank you.

edwinscox.bsky.social•91 days ago

Already a happy subscriber. (Well, not “happy,” but certainly grateful.)

houndsofgeorge.bsky.social•91 days ago

nancymcmillan.bsky.social•91 days ago

And it's excellent! Thank you, Joyce Vance.

auroreeatonwriter.bsky.social•91 days ago

Civil Discourse is super-deluxe! I rely it on for in-depth news reporting and for Joyce's sanity and warmth.

renardfox7.bsky.social•90 days ago

Already subscribe. Love it. It sustains me daily

jimstory.bsky.social•91 days ago

Soon the evangelicals will no longer be firstly associated with Christianity but with corrupt politics

farkit.bsky.social•91 days ago

"Soon"? LOL. They've been little but the latter since the 1980s.

stittsphilistine.bsky.social•91 days ago

Highly recommend! And not just for the chicken pics. I enjoy them so much I pitched raising chickens to my girlfriend. It was a no.

joycewhitevance.bsky.social•91 days ago

Keep trying!

I liked that you wrote this:
I am still a very proud American. I love this country. I love the Constitution and the rule of law. … I’m grateful to live in a country where … we have progressed to include Black people and women as voters …

You are a truth warrior, Joyce. 🙏🏻

mescalerodevildog.bsky.social•90 days ago

Asked it during the campaign, how can anyone in their mind believe anything a prolific liars says. Those who do are about to find out they have been for ride.

2024boomer.bsky.social•91 days ago

You and HCR have been my go to sources for awhile now. Thank you and keep up the good fight.

sweetooth1.bsky.social•91 days ago

Bondi on investigating & prosecuting those deemed enemies of Trump. Also, needs to be questioned about dropping case on Trump University after partisan political group supporting her given $25,000 by Trump. Then Rick Scott deemed no bribery. And, lobbyist for Qatar! https://youtube.com/shorts/tbe2oL7Q2KQ?si=oLdEmA3a9kgvW5Li

sweetooth1.bsky.social•91 days ago

I still want to know what's in MTG/Pandora's box as she threatened if Gaetz Ethic Report released she'll release all the dirt on Republicans. Is this why the dog was tossed a biscuit aka bringing the two ding-bats, Vivek/Elon's stuff to Congress. Open the box! And, sounded like blackmail to me.

kitpip.bsky.social•91 days ago

Thanks Joyce

casey2020.bsky.social•91 days ago

I read Civil Discourse to stay on top of what is happening and legal implications. The Week Ahead is my primer on what to expect in the coming week.

petergjones.bsky.social•90 days ago

I recommend it.
#WorthReading

schlonnaschlouisee.bsky.social•90 days ago

Done!

rkhullar.bsky.social•91 days ago

Professor Vance I think so. I'm going to do that because I don't know that the traditional media doesn't get me worked up to where I may break the law myself. That's not the solution

rkhullar.bsky.social•91 days ago

The solution may be since I live in Texas and a Democrat will never win here as long as I'm alive till I die and I'm 48 so probably by the time I'm in my late 70s a Democrat may get elected here maybe

rkhullar.bsky.social•91 days ago

I might do something like help John Cornyn fight off primary challenge from Ken Paxton. The last thing we need is Cruz and Paxton believe me I'm from Texas I know

laurabb2001.bsky.social•91 days ago

Thank you, Joyce.

Also she shares pics of her hens!

You can not help but respect Joyce's intellect, capabilities and heart. Go Joyce.

chandlerburr.bsky.social•91 days ago

They took him seriously but they took him literally.

gwj45.bsky.social•91 days ago

I have been a subscriber for years and I cannot recommend it too highly. Plus,
there are chickens. Do not scoff. In a world gone mad, the chickens provide a touch of sanity.

mickeykuhns.bsky.social•91 days ago

Trump before the election… “I know nothing, I hear nothing!”

wolfmar.bsky.social•90 days ago

I rely on you, Joyce, to keep us informed. Thanks for helping to lead the charge to keep democracy alive.

tilklem.bsky.social•89 days ago

Read your Substack every day. Especially like the ones with chickens. 😊

conchohoncho.bsky.social•91 days ago

Please keep shining the light

nfoley.bsky.social•91 days ago

Joyce posts the legal documents for us to read. I’m a retired legal assistant so I want to read the legal documents myself. She’s good at explaining in layman’s language.

cj67.bsky.social•91 days ago

We don’t want to hear about Trump all the time. What is Biden doing? He’s still President.

rob1946.bsky.social•91 days ago

Joyce is the first writer I read every morning. Pro tip: there are also chickens!

joycewhitevance.bsky.social•91 days ago

There are!

quakerabbey.bsky.social•89 days ago

Most of my life I've been an independent scholar. I've been learning about the law from Glenn Kirschner and from you on MSNBC. Thanks for helping make sense of it up to this point where we find ourselves.

tilklem.bsky.social•89 days ago

I read her every day also, along with @hcrichardson.bsky.social

zoelorraine.bsky.social•91 days ago

Your newsletter is one of the things keeping me sane AND informed. Thank you so much for all you do. And as a Silkie owner (three funny little ladies), I love the chicken updates.

mobycone.bsky.social•91 days ago

Love it! Read your wisdom daily!

partlypartly83.bsky.social•91 days ago

I subscribe to Civil Discourse and it’s a great alternative to MSM.

pueomanoa.bsky.social•91 days ago

I look forward to hearing about it from you. As soon as I can control my reaction of shallow breathing and panic. Soon!!!

leeguion.bsky.social•91 days ago

You are a lifeline

bpscot.bsky.social•91 days ago

Will check it out

skyfrme.bsky.social•91 days ago

Highly recommend along with Heather Cox Richardson!

joycewhitevance.bsky.social•91 days ago

I adore Heather's newsletter!

fomadia.bsky.social•90 days ago

I can vouch for Civil Discourse. Joyce Vance explains the law in terms that people with a reasonable public school education can not only understand, but use in conversations with others.

dozo27.bsky.social•90 days ago

Already a big fan,n

cgoforth.bsky.social•91 days ago

Reading Joyce Vance everyday is as habitual for me as coffee; both are life-sustaining. And you are rewarded with chickens and other critters, as well.

plaintanjane.bsky.social•91 days ago

It’s my favorite newsletter. The chickens are always a sweet & funny perk.

terrycoatsor.bsky.social•91 days ago

cdrjames.bsky.social•91 days ago

I’ve been following Joyce for a couple years and her newsletter is one of the best out there and getting opines from Substack means no filters, no corporate interference, no ratings to pander to.

samandrusty.bsky.social•91 days ago

Best newsletter. Joyce you give us the best information that we can all trust to be the truth. Thank you for all your hard work. And to anyone want to be kept up to what you need to know please subscribe to Civil Discourse.
Joyce has all our backs in these unusual times.

buckleup1525.bsky.social•90 days ago

My sister's MAGA neighbor insistently told her husband that Project 2025 was written by Dems!!!! Here we go with disinformation blaming Dems for anything awful that comes from the project! They are so misinformed with lies it's scary & sickening! Propaganda on steroids!

buckleup1525.bsky.social•90 days ago

Not only are they denying ties to tRump, but they are also now blaming Dems for writing it!😱

grammiegale.bsky.social•91 days ago

Keep up the great work Joyce!

detroitlee65.bsky.social•91 days ago

Always loved you but I’m not reading or watching much for mental health reasons. My wife is in the ICU. Priorities.

hengleka.bsky.social•91 days ago

zorbathegirl.bsky.social•91 days ago

Joyce Vance's substack keeps me sane. I rarely comment, but I look forward to it each day. Thank you Joyce.

bdgarp.bsky.social•90 days ago

This is import coverage from the legal perspective which will remain critical to stay informed about. From one of the best.

rsspbxx.bsky.social•90 days ago

✔️

steviepoe.bsky.social•91 days ago

I read this and Heather Cox Richardson’s Letters From an American daily and find that I am well informed and educated.

ferengii.bsky.social•90 days ago

Agreed - two of the best, most thoughtful & well considered minds out there. The day isn’t complete without Joyce or Heather. Thank you both.

kay2m.bsky.social•91 days ago

I love you Joyce Vance, but I just can’t take in any more of that orange monster right now.

joycewhitevance.bsky.social•91 days ago

There's a lot more to democracy than that guy!

anything53.bsky.social•90 days ago

Unless there is no more democracy.

kay2m.bsky.social•90 days ago

You are quite right Joyce. Thanks for the gentle bitch slap. I needed that.

wolfmar.bsky.social•90 days ago

I get it. Take a break and then work your way back into staying informed. We need each other!

kay2m.bsky.social•90 days ago

Thanks babe

hollykl.bsky.social•91 days ago

Love your newsletter, Joyce. It’s one of the first things I read every morning. Love those chickens, too. 😁

I follow your newsletter religiously! It has become part of my routine. Thank you for taking the time to put together such an informative source of news. (I enjoy your chick pics, too!)

stonewiegman.bsky.social•91 days ago

I have been a subscriber for almost two years. Between your Civil Discourse and Professor Heather Cox Richardson’s Letters From An American they are two god sends in helping me cope with MAGAts.
