I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

I just wanna congratulate @meidastouch.com for beating Joe Rogan, and thank them for recommending my Substack. Indie media FTW! Check theirs out here: www.meidasplus.com

I'm feeling nostalgic for competence.

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

Like Brexit, Trump & Musk's Agenda is 'Ideologically Incoherent & Ultimately Self-Defeating' The disaster of Brexit is now being replicated on a global scale by a US administration determined to shoot its country's own interests in the foot www.bylinesupplement.com/p/like-brexi...

Did you know i narrated my own audiobook? Also My Ebook is on sale right now for 3.99! www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/harry...

Do people realize that by appointing Gabbard as DNI, Hegseth as Sec Def, Biondi as AG that trump and his band of traitors in the senate have made America less safe? Which of our allies will continue to share intelligence with us knowing it will end up with putin?America will be vulnerable to attack.

At this point, I think Donald Trump would start barking on TV if Putin told him to.

🚨🚨🚨 NY 21 Special Election Information: Blake Gendebien is the Dem candidate running for the NY21 Congressional seat to replace Elise Stefanik. This is a solidly red area, but with education, unity and hard work anything is possible. Pls share and consider donating. blakegendebienforcongress.com

Trump Lost. Harris was cheated out of 3,565,000 votes by Jim Crow tricks. In this clip I give Mark Thompson — @themts.bsky.social — a breakdown of the numbers, where they came from, and the key calculations. youtu.be/3UiB3xwyfPQ

The White House’s wildly inaccurate claims about USAID spending Eleven out of 12 claims about the agency’s work are misleading, wrong or lack context www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump's "goal has always been clear: destroy functioning government, cripple the nonprofit sector and obliterate the hard-earned bonds and benefits of 80 years of post-war American progress."

Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people. Identify those people and block and shun them.

As often as people have been ripped off or scammed, why would ANYONE in their right mind think it's a good idea to eliminate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau? Any politician who thinks it's OK needs to fucking resign.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt. This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

Two years ago I warned everyone not to embrace Brad Raffensperger as some sort of hero. Now he is sucking up to MAGA. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/brad...

MAGA lost their damn minds over the email lady's private server, but are crickets over Elon's 19-year-old "Big Balls" guy having access to all of our private info.

I will post this every few weeks. From the beast of a reporter, @gregpalast.bsky.social

The Constitution has this weird loophole. It doesn’t take into account an electorate stupid enough to elect a felon.

WOOO HOOOOO! 🙏💪

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked. The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.” This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

Time sensitive: we've created a generic informal grievance template. Always defer to your collective bargaining unit. This isn't legal advice, just a recommendation based on personal experience. www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Want a great slogan for midterms? "If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you " You get the point. FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

WOW! The number of @bsky.app users just hit 29 MILLION! 👏 IT’S HAPPENING. LET’S DO THIS!

This is written by the bishop who stood up to Orange Voldemort. Everyone should be buying this. It's available on Amazon for $14. I'm an atheist and I'm buying it. #booksky

Chicago Police have said they won't assist in Donald Trump's ICE mass deportation raids. Know your rights and make a plan. Pass it on to folks you know in Illinois.

trump just withdrew us from the World Health Organization (WHO) because his disastrous ineptitude didn't kill enough Americans the first time around.

Trump just pardoned these people. Don’t ever tell me Republicans “back the blue” again.

If those J6 domestic terrorist that the orange felon pardoned harm any family member that turned them in or any witnesses who testified against them, real American patriots have to take to the streets and stay there. Shut this mfcuker down!!!

This is disgusting! The party of law and order and back the blue my ass!

Last night Donald Trump was fêted by billionaires on bended knee while those of us in the pro-democracy movement did the hard work and stand tall. We may not have their wealth, but we have our dignity and resolve. Our work continues.

Tomorrow will be hard, but we will stand tall. And then, it will be our turn. Stay informed by signing up for Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

I will not be listening to Carrie Underwood’s music due to her agreement to appear at Trump’s inauguration. This replaces my prior reason for not listening to her music: it’s not good

@marcelias.bsky.social: "I am more powerful than Elon Musk, I am more powerful than Mark Zuckerberg, and I am more powerful than Jeff Bezos, because I can say right now out loud, fuck you, Donald Trump, fuck you. And they can't afford to do that."

I did indeed say that. to @briantylercohen.bsky.social at the 4:23 mark. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up_Y...

The issue isn’t whether Universal Healthcare can work. The issue is how do we get from where we are to UH. It took Canada decades and it has a ton of limits we might not like. The point being we have to find a starting point that can grow it into what works here www.canada.ca/en/health-ca...

I’ll take 1 Mexican firefighter over a thousand useless MAGA white men any day of the week. How about you?

My latest blog. An open discussion on changing healthcare Blogmaverick.com

I just saw a post on Facebook start with ‘Convicted Rapist Mark Zuckerberg….’ Let’s see how long this no fact checking lasts.

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that trump's bizarre fixation on taking Greenland, the Panama Canal, and Canada by force is all a distraction because he can't deliver his promise to lower prices. Donald is a deluded, demented, dumbass dipshit.
