@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov you owe every single New Yorker an apology followed by an explanation. Don’t keep telling us, “Vote! Fight for our country!” When every time we do you fold. You can’t tell us that DEMS are for the people and the GOP is not but then vote with them.
March 15, 2025 at 6:05 PM
@schumer.senate.gov please vote NO! You are betraying NEW YORKERS! Please vote NO! Don’t be the weak link. I am your constituent and I did not send you to DC to fold. Fight for us!

@schumer.senate.gov I am one of your constituents in NY and have left you many messages. Please do what we sent you to DC to do. Vote NO on cloture and NO on the GOP spending bill. Do not sell us out. Please do what your constituents NEED you to do both for us and for the American people. Vote NO!

It’s been inspiring to see everyone come together for LA,,, but there’s one community I need to highlight.

Not enough is being done for the black families after the LA fires. Ive partnered up with GoFundMe and the BMAC to create ONE main GoFundMe campaign to immediately help those in need.

Escape real world horror with my new comic, DC HORROR PRESENTS #4, out today. I got to tell a gory, funny Matter-Eater Lad story with Steve “PSYCHO GOREMAN” Kostanski and Logan Faerber! Plus the other story is by the hilarious duo of @pattonoswalt.bsky.social and @blumjordan.bsky.social!

Hi comic book journalists, reviewers, and podcasters!

I know this is shameless, but I have two new comics coming out from DC over the next two Wednesdays and would love to talk to YOU!

They are DC Horror Presents #4 and their 2025 Valentine's Day anthology, Lex & the City. More on each below!

Happy new year to everyone here, this is the only social media that has ever made my life feel richer.

Thank you all for adding to the luxury of my life.

If we all sprinkle the joy we have we will end up as happy as doughnuts decorated by an unsupervised toddler.

I am currently at #JFK waiting for my @jetblue2.bsky.social
flight and they are airing #FauxNews. It is lie after lie after lie.THIS is why 1/2 the country doesn’t know what a tariff is, think DEMS do nothing but think the GOP do. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Merry Christmas America.
