Great turnout in Erie, PA for #NoKings! Happy to protest alongside my sister today. Democracy, freedom and revolution run in our DNA and we’re keeping the flame lit in our generation!

It’s Maine Maple 🍁 Weekend! Get out and support your local sugarhouse! Bob’s in Dover-Foxcroft and G&M in Charleston are two great options for a day trip from Bangor. At G&M they served us a sample of hot, fresh amber syrup right out of the sap boiler! The best I’ve ever had.

I’m a fan of the classics. #vinyl #NowPlaying

I’ve been wanting to try curling for ages and finally did it today! The Belfast Curling Club volunteers were super friendly and welcoming.

My wish for every Olympian is that they have the very best run, match, ski, or skate of their lives. I am cheering for absolutely every single one.

Every Olympics, I think “this time I’ll watch the opening ceremonies without sobbing.” And every Olympics, I’m wrong.

Justice for Alex Pretti. Not ONE MORE.

Bangor, Maine 1/25/2026 So proud of our community coming together on short notice to speak up against ICE and tyranny.

Single digits and a foot of snow on the way didn’t deter a couple hundred of our neighbors in Bangor, ME from protesting the murder of Alex Pretti by unlawful ICE agents. We stand against ICE brutality, from Maine to Minnesota!

Protest tomorrow, January 25th at Pierce Park, 1pm. If we say nothing, we are letting this happen so it’s important to take a stand against the #ICEHoles, call our reps and demand they #DefundICE. #TogetherWeCan #TogetherWeWill #HoldTheLine #MEPolitics #WeStandWithMinneapolis

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Good crowd in Bangor, Maine today! We stand in solidarity with our neighbors in Minnesota and against ICE brutality and lawlessness.

Blue skies and 35 is EXACTLY what Maine needed today!

No resolutions, just life. Who’s with us?

It’s been a rough year and my usual Christmas movie favorites aren’t feeling quite right, but Anna and the Apocalypse never fails. It’s like Glee and Shaun of the Dead got together for a Christmas pageant. I love it.

For the 13th year in a row, my wife received a “5 stars, outstanding, would marry again” score on her annual wife review! Happy Anniversary my love! Sign me up for another 13.

Happy Christmas Vacation to all who celebrate!

Huge turnout in Bangor last night. It’s clear people are ready for a campaign focused on working families and real solutions. Thank you for the support and the momentum — let’s keep it going.

Are… are you gonna share that turkey?

I swear, our neighbors must look at my work calendar, see when I have my most important client events, and schedule their noisiest lawn care services accordingly. All day hedge trimming when I have to host a virtual conference? Check. World’s loudest leaf blowers during an executive session? Check.

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

It’s “stand in front of the open oven door after you take your cake out so you don’t waste a single ounce of the heat you paid for” season

Governor Mills Directs Maine DHHS to Issue Full SNAP Benefits for November Mills knows Maine Republicans won't vote for SNAP in an emergency special session that would cost taxpayers thousands, so she just gets it done. #mepolitics www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

JARED GOLDEN WILL NOT SEEK REELECTION

Maybe, just maybe, we can find our way out of this, friends.

Question 1 loses huge in Bangor, with 73% rejecting the voter suppression measure. #mepolitics

The Nazi running for Bangor City Council came in DEAD LAST! Hell yes!

Feeling inspired by all the winning so far? runforwhat.net - it's not too late to get on the ballot for 2026.

Ok, fess up. Who is sending these ridiculous political surveys? C’mon now people.

Matt sued Trump once, and won. Now he’s running for Congress to take him on again, because Mainers can’t afford politicians who sell us out. mattdunlapforuscongress.com #ME02 #Dunlap4Congress

We march because we love America. Don't let them say otherwise.

I’m glad that Left Shark is still out there living their truth, haters be damned. We are all so much more than our worst moments!

No violence, no riots, just me and a couple of happy cappys for democracy! (And thousands of our fellow Mainers) #NoKings #Bangor

That’s my city!

One of my favorites from today’s No Kings rally in Bangor! And another incredible turnout in our amazing little city! #NoKings

Convinced there is no greater lie than a squeeze bottle of relish.

Twenty One Pilots last night! What an epic show.

On this first day of fall, one of my favorite quotes about this time of year: "Because from here on in, the shadows get deeper, the nights get longer. We're heading into the dark, and we have to hang onto each other.” ~The Haunting of Bly Manor

Let's go along with the majority of us on this, whaddaya say?

I am ending as I started, with an immense love for Bangor and a deep gratitude for the opportunity to serve.

View for the weekend. Easternmost town in the US.

My wife bought me a Dwarf Lab Astro telescope camera thingy for Christmas and I brought it on our trip to Nova Scotia last month. There are so many stars you can BARELY see Cassiopeia, OMG the Milky Way, and that dashed line in the upper right corner is a plane headed to Europe…. Unbelievable.

It’s off to the briny deep with the leftover green tomatoes and jalapeños from our garden. #FridgePickles

Most (good) solutions are proposed not by newcomers, but by people who understand an issue deeply. There are exceptions, of course, but generally, if a solution seems "obvious", it's because you don't understand the problem as well as you think. 🧵

In Maine we have a saying: Go pound sand.

Wrapping up an incredible week in Nova Scotia. Not quite ready to repatriate…
