Word of advice, pay attention to your state legislature when it comes time for a budget. Sometimes they love to slip in something awful because they don’t think anyone is paying them any attention.

When I was a kid, my mom openly dated women. It didn’t confuse me. It didn’t harm me. It taught me love looks different for everyone — and that’s okay. Teaching kids acceptance isn’t grooming. It’s preparing them to be decent human beings.

Made a new campaign so that the MDP doesn’t have to.

Y’all know I’m about giving credit where it’s due. I gotta give @joyannreid.bsky.social her flowers for all the great work she did for MSNBC. She was the first host to give me any type of hype and for that I will forever be grateful. There is no civics guy without Joy Reid.

Letter to the Editor: DEI is more than just an acronym. As a Black man and a student leader at Oakland University, I am deeply disturbed by the ongoing demonization of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices by certain factions within the federal ...

I recall predicting that DJT would get rid of stuff just to bring it back and claim the glory.🤔🤔🤔

Lord I beg that come Monday I’m not forced to hear the white savior nonsense coming from the White that most assuredly will come. While everyone leaves DC with orange stained mouths, I’m gonna find something productive to do with my day

As I prepare for Monday I must acknowledge that the things I’ll end up responding to on here will increasingly get more depressing. However, since the job is never finished, I’ll stay committed to giving y’all the information you deserve as opposed to what they want you to have.

Fun life update. I’m proud to announce that former congresswoman, now Chair of the Oakland County Democratic Party Brenda Lawrence has appointed me to co-chair the Young Democrats Committee to help the party get more involved with young people and vice versa.

Quick note, it is definitely an oxymoron to with politics weren’t so polarized just to make it your personality that you support the person peddling the polarization.

Everyday I wake up wondering if the Mango Mussolini can manage to outdo his own stupidity. Everyday he exceeds my expectations. We could’ve had the first woman president but instead people decided that the price of eggs dictated to let this idiot back in.

Sorry I’ve been gone for a while folks. Finals season has plagued us college folks here at OU! I’ll get back to my usual ranting and raving when I’m finished with this semester!

I forget sometimes that Spotify pays attention to what I listen to. In case you were curious about my music tastes, enjoy.

I won’t lie, I’m not surprised Biden pardoned Hunter. Don’t know how much I’d say the prosecutions were political given that it was his justice department that handled them, but there may be merit to the notion. He’s made it clear that he’s a father before he’s president.

Word of advice, take a look at a map of DC and where the cabinet offices are in relation to the White House. Chances are that the ones closest to the Oval Office were put there for a reason. Make sure you take a look at who will be running those offices….

I’m starting to think we should review the No Child Left Behind law because some people were most definitely left behind.

I hear Elon Musty has been wearing out his welcome. Think we’ll see an ego clash soon?

I’ve noticed the mass exodus of folks from the soon to be New Truth Social over here. Glad to see it.

I’ve noticed that this seems to need clarifying, but Obamacare and the Affordable Care Act are the same thing. Wanna take a wild guess at who coined the name Obamacare?

I won’t lie, I don’t have something go respond to that with. You’ve earned the right to be pretty pissed off. I will note that I’ve criticized the double standard in the media multiple times but if I’m going to brand myself as the “civics guy from MSNBC” then I kinda earned the vitriol on that one.

National Exit Polls: Election 2024 Results Follow exit polls from the 2024 general election. Explore key insights, voter demographics and trends that may shape the outcomes of key 2024 election races.

If you're curious about how I break down the election, I start by looking at the exit polling. It does very well at giving an idea of how different demographics voted, and also an idea of where DJT made gains and what losses could've been held by the Democratic Party.
