I am a proud snake dad now. Look how cute my little son is:

Over on Twitter, my page has turned into a litany of personal grievances versus solely politics. Maybe I’ll do that here as well. See how long before y’all get tired of it lol My back is rotten… I had a couple epidurals that made me go insane, agitated, unable to sleep… and ultimately didn’t even 1

This is such a trip man - how many followers do you need on here to have conversations? I’m used to notifications rolling in by the dozens, starting immediately when I make a post over there. Here? Hours go by with nada lol 😆 Guess it requires consistent investment 🤷‍♂️

Man it’s been a while - who do I still know over here? Also of course, as whenever I pop in, we (Blue Crew, smokefleet, Dems in general) would LOVE to have your support on X - we hate Elon too, but feel it’s important to have a voice there and express opposition! TYIA. 💙🤘

Up till 4:30 - steroids… from the epidural for my spine. Well. My back feels better. Sciatica nice and quiet. Spent considerable amt of night choosing equipment for a snake setup - terrarium. Put in a request to purchase for this handsome aberrant Cali king. 💙 🐍 🥱

Confirmation it isn’t just me calling for backup - and that people are answering the call. I have some great friends here that just find it too vicious at X, not good for them, I totally get that too… but if you can, we’d love to have you! #Resist 💙🤘🤘

So peaceful here compared to X. So… How you folks feeling about the midterms? Hate to sound overly dramatic but it’s all on the line. We need to let our reps know what we want, and push them… + push online as well. While we push back on the bullshit narratives and propaganda from the right.

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

Sup Bluesky 👋 Just a heads up - the blue wave is getting bigger over on X again. Be great if some of y’all could join us. We want to crush MAGA at the polls in November and the narratives and hype on X do make a difference. TY. 💙🤘🤘

Imagine being Elon Musk, with all that money, spending all day pushing lies and propaganda on X… what a hollow fucking existence!

Hello Bluesky. Haven’t posted in forever… only a few friends read them anyway but… for those who do - I’m excited because I got engaged - and depressed because Minneapolis is under siege from ICE. I’m really fortunate to have such a positive thing going, to outweigh the darkness.

#NoKings was a success… Me and my lady incorporated it into our little romantic getaway

Mornin’ Bluesky. No Kings is in 2 days. I’ll be on a vacay with my love but we are going to make signs and hit an event this Saturday in a small town nearby 💙 #Resist

“Antifa is a foreign terror group.” I believe this. No, no really! Why would you not be convinced?? Is it because… it sounds totally ludicrous?? Ok, ok… that’s fair. I concede the point.

This was never about deporting criminals. It’s about Stephen Miller’s campaign of ethnic cleansing.

Tweet from Alex Tabarrok reads:
“Sergio Garcia, celebrated Chef who came to the US before ICE even existed. Deported after 36 years.
The picture tells you a lot about the decline of the Republican party.”
Attached photo shows Sergio Garcia standing with Laura and George W. Bush outdoors. The photo is signed: “To Sergio Garcia, With best wishes – George & Laura Bush.”

Howdy Bluesky! We getting ready for #NoKings ?? October 18th. I’ll be on a romantic getaway but I was lucky to find a lunchtime rally only 10 miles away.

It is no coincidence that Trump, Hegseth, Miller, Noem and other members of the admin continue to make inflammatory partisan political speeches to military and law enforcement. They are conditioning them now to embrace the planned war to come - their war against other Americans.

Don’t lose sight: Military rule is the goal here. The more cities the admin takes, the closer that becomes to reality.

There are folks out there that think things are going well. Can you imagine???

Hey, pardon me for crashing out but… at the same time, damn! How do I NOT? Going to recharge some tonight… anyways y’all be good, take care, try and stay mad enough to take action but calm enough to stay sane? I guess?

Guys - gals - everyone: I don’t have much reach here, but I hope SOME will see this. I’ll briefly make my usual appeal - to return to X en masse and fight the disgusting mess over there / make your voices heard. And also: call me alarmist but I am pretty intuitive: it’s almost over. 1/2

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

Remember… back in November we had “joy” and we had “they’re eating the cats.” The people mostly preferred to cast aspersions on legal immigrants in a nationalistic fervor rather than trying to just chill the fuck out. Remember the positive energy? 1/2

I’ve been grim and dark today, frustrated with the massive effort to whitewash who Charlie Kirk was… and to use him as a weapon to enact even worse policies… even got upset with my dad, little dispute. Anyways - dialing back in the love, petting the dog, texting with my love. Gnight y’all. 💙💙💙

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

I’m not on here a ton and it seems like not many folks see my stuff anyways. For those that DO: My style on X is pretty aggressive and features quite a bit of profanity. Most of my folks there are on board. What’s the scoop here? Clean it up some? Or roll with it.

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

It’s a war zone on X right now. You thought it was bad before? It’s way worse now…

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

Making a martyr out of that guy was fucking stupid - provoking the mourning / outraged, also pretty dumb. Come on y’all. You’re giving them power. If you’re not doing that, then kudos to you for reading the plot.

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

Honestly people who believed the initial @wsj.com lies about the bullets just failed a basic media literacy test. The WSJ is just printing white wing press releases and if you don’t know that by now I don’t know what to tell you.

Hey. Don’t get caught up in a bubble and forget your humanity. Even horrible people are people. That AND people are watching… you put yourself at risk if you’re publicly celebrating that guy’s death, of doxxing or worse. We need you, and your humanity, for the fight ahead.
