New at Joy’s House: scenes from the (maybe) maga civil war open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

Dear America: stop saying you want the country to be run like a business. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

Oh yeah, we're freaking doomed. How is he still leader??? Come on, Dems... for Chrissakes...

My latest at Joy’s House: the regime keeps regime-ing … open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

My latest at Joy's House: Marco Rubio is the most soulless man in the Trump regime open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

Power rising…. Great piece here on the State of the People Power Tour nonprofitquarterly.org/how-the-stat...

Omg Joe Biden is old??? Knock me over with a feather!

Read this please, and somebody send it to Clarence. Thanks!

This Congresswoman did nothing wrong. So why is Alina Habba indicting her? open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

Nobody better ever ask me again why I don’t just give the Trumps and #maga a chance.

Their goal is to leave America sicker, poorer, more desperate and less free. Easier to impose Christofascism on a broken people.

Yeah

New at Joy’s House: a plantation burns, and folks are seeing ancestral spirits in the flames open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

Notable that the same people behind Project 2025 -- namely a bunch of Christian nationalists from the Heritage Foundation -- are apparently plotting to shut down pro-Palestinian protests, DEI, and all other aspects of resistance that unite particularly young Blacks, Muslims, woke Whites & Jews...

Trump and his cronies are unleashing a kleptocratic nightmare on America open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

Shocker! Yeah, not surprising at all...

Lord have mercy, Trump and his cavalcade of incompetents are ruining literally everything.

It’s a literal waste of time, and a clear attempt to “both sides” the fact that we are under literal fascism. We will never get the mainstream press beyond “but her emails,” it seems…

The only real question in the U.S. right now is: fascism — yes or no. About a third of the country feels like a hard “yes.” (Scroll through X-Twitter and it seems like even more.) But is there a large enough share of the other two thirds to push this autocratic nightmare back before it’s too late?

These damned colonizers just can’t quit trying to exploit Africa.

These really are sick people... what's next? Making nonwhite immigrants fight wild animals in a stadium with the option of death or a green card? What in the puppy killing hell is this???

This is seriously sick stuff.

Remember "New Coke"? Same energy.

My latest at Joy’s House: Trump and his regime welcome just one kind of “refugee…” can you guess what their demographic characteristics are? open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

#maga only wants the best people here, as you know…

Donald Trump’s excuse for why he should have a “flying palace” from Qatar is the same one folks be using as to why their pastor needs to drive a Bentley. #qataralago #itsacult #grifterinchief www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

So it's not about expelling criminals after all. Just 7-year-olds with cancer, so we can make room for white South Africans. Got it.

I wrote this piece last October, before the election. It seems even more relevant now... open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

The regime is arresting mayors and judges for opposing their gross mass detention policies. That's defcon one for democracy. open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms and to all the mamas in your lives! open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...
