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

Can you imagine Elon Musk helping someone like that - with no benefit to himself? It’d never happen

Stop the damn back pain… it came back as soon as the crazy high wore off 🤪 the left side might be a little better than before, the lower back and right leg, same ole stabbing rotten pain 😝 2

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 one it seems like ya gotta have 20k or more to get replies on original posts - could be wrong. But there are a lot of big dem accounts…

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

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 🤷‍♂️

Trump admin wants the US to be a police state. We have to stop them!

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

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. 💙🤘

Oops! My bad! Double checked and that one is a girl - shifted to this fellow here. (They get bigger, and I like a nice chunky snake) ☺️

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

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. 💙 🐍 🥱

Howdy Bluesky. Well shucks i usually dodge the censors pretty well but X got me… for this?? Anyways… 12 hrs in Twitmo means I’m saying hi here 😅

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

Thanks CJ you’re too kind. I refunded the money so hopefully you got or will get yours soon. I was devastated but she’s safe, out of pain, at peace - RIP Princess Kai 🫶🏼

Heyyy thnx for stopping by ☺️ Yeah I think I have Elon muted. He’s insufferable

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

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 💙🤘🤘

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

ZIMA?? Wtf. Wow. Didn’t know anyone still consumed that

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

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.

010

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. 💙🤘🤘

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

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

041

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

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.

Thanks CJ 💙 A lot has happened! Yeah still on X but less time on social media in general. Fell in love and got engaged 🎉 💃 💘

Leadership. The Democratic Party has no leader. A vacuum at the very top. WHY?

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

One thing about Twitter … you can’t do THIS to MAGA here:

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

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

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

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

Cheers 🍻 Thnx for the mention 💙

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

Wow, great to see blue folks with lots of followers! The bad place is a little low on those

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

“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.

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

It’s crazy, since he’s, well, who he is… Good for him for having a spine, showing some humanity, grit… rare in that class of folks

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

Eric… hmm I am not sure how much stock I’d put in that… but it’s nice to consider.

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

Trump thinks X influencers actually matter in real life…

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

Why ask why? At least we are *checks notes* having a round table on Antifa! 😏

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.”

Thanks Jorie that’s kind of you 💙 It’s not for everyone for sure. Kind of gnarly!

Woohoo 🎉 🌮 Thanks Ray Party on!

Oh damn. I’ll be at work - hopefully it’s slow and I can drop by 🌮 💙

Those women are just horrible examples… narcissistic, shallow, fake, sycophants…

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.

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

As long as they don’t have to watch the person die, they really don’t care. The “pro lifers” don’t even view undocumented folks as human. It’s abhorrent.

020

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 06/10/2025

I’ve been going toe to toe with some really awful people on the other app… it’s unpleasant but someone has to challenge the insane narratives out there. Still adapting to this one - have to say, it’s kind of weird without the fighting… but nice to see like minded folks

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.

It’s a full takeover, fascist coup just like in the history books. We have to stop it somehow

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 05/10/2025

This “government” is the worst in American history. Essentially my bullshit right wing twitter feed in the flesh.

010

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 05/10/2025

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

020

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 05/10/2025

There isn’t much left of our system of checks and balances, so it’s nice to see one work occasionally.

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 05/10/2025

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

MetalMark @markmantis.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

I put this app back on my Home Screen. I am going to explore a bit, since I haven’t in a while.
