#Maine, how about it?

I don't like being in overly-large, loud, slow plodding crowds, either. I don't think I can point to any PTSD as the cause; just a bit of an introvert, I guess. There's some good coping mechanisms here. Hope to see you Saturday!

Democracy dies when we stop trying. There are many threats lining up to steal it away from us, but they can't keep what we don't allow them to. Let's build a deep bench together. go.bsky.app/6SBfF97

🧵 The United Auto Workers have endorsed Graham Platner for the United States Senate in Maine. As a U.S. military veteran, oyster farmer, and proud lifelong Mainer, @grahamformaine.bsky.social is a true fighter for the working class.

Note to @booker.senate.gov - expecting answers to tough questions does not constitute a "litmus test" -- Unless that litmus test is about honesty and transparency. If you can't explain your actions without excuses, then maybe your actions are inexcusable. www.huffpost.com/entry/cory-b...

New names added! Please #Follow these #BlueCandidates. We need to overwhelm the fascists at the polls to take our democracy back! go.bsky.app/6SBfF97

I've been building a Starter Pack for #progressive and #blue candidates running for election in 2024/2025. They run the gamut from traditional Dems to those farther left, and from state office to federal office. Please consider following them all. And suggest names for me to add go.bsky.app/6SBfF97

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year. The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

#Pennsylvania, you know what to do. Sure, it seems like an eternity between now and 2028, but start figuring out who's running against this d-bag. www.huffpost.com/entry/us-sen...

I'll be there.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

While making an arrest or conducting a search, ICE MUST present either a signed, judicial warrant to enter private property, or an admin. warrant from the government agency authorizing an arrest or seizure. Spread the word!

#Trumpstein calling for the arrest of Chicago's mayor and Illinois' governor, along with Nuremberg Barbie threatening the mayor of Portland tells me three things: 1. They're desperate. 2. They'll face an unprecedented amount of personal consequences (oh yes they will). 3. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Vote, vote, vote!

Checking in on the #mutuals... We're all going to have to make this choice at some point. Make your plans.

Seems like a good time to remind people that #StephenMiller used to eat glue. He probably doesn't want anybody talking about that, though. How much you wanna bet he's graduated from eating glue to huffing it? I'm just asking questions! 😉 www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...

@nytimes.com @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com Time to open your eyes and report the inconvenient truths.

Stephen Miller called for violence after a ruling by Judge Goodstein and then days later her house goes up in flames. We’re not talking about this enough and how we bring awareness to the violent rhetoric this administration is using to further their agenda and incite these acts.

Also, #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

I once had a job where one of my bosses tried to threaten me by saying they could hire a José for a 1/3 of what they were paying me. Relaying this story once, a friend asked why I wasn't mad about an illegal coming for my job. Because, I said, it wasn't an illegal coming for it, it was my employer.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

Cry me a fucking river. www.rawstory.com/dhs-chicago-...

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

We just received a message from Apple's App Review that #ICEBlock has been removed from the App Store due to "objectionable content". The only thing we can imagine is this is due to pressure from the Trump Admin. We have responded and we'll fight this! #resist

Make #Apple hurt.

No punishment is cruel or unusual enough for Stephen Miller.

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Ok, let's keep hammering this home about the #RepublicanShutdown. A telling stat in the WSJ poll about which party is most responsible shows the breakdown along party lines with Ds blaming Rs by over 80% and Rs blaming Ds by less than 70%. Some #GOP are getting it! www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Harsh retaliation has to be the playbook going forward. Make them claw for every inch of our country they want to steal. Make it fucking hurt. www.rawstory.com/trump-267414...

Was it a "gaffe," though? Maybe it's a Freudian slip? #TedCruz #Epstein www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Madison Cawthorn running for Congress is the "eew" I didn't need today. As tempting as it is, I will not be ableist about his proclamation of standing with Donald Trump. He's a POS, but I'm trying really hard not to be one in return.

I always take anyone predicting #TheRapture with a pillar of salt.

I can’t think of any reason to completely wreck the ag markets in entire United States other than purposeful sabotage. A fire sale on farmland.

🚨Fed PSA🚨 Print off employee docs before the shut down. CDC’s union (AFGE2883) has put together a RIF guide detailing what docs may be needed if firings occur: www.afge2883ga.org/_files/ugd/9... More info on joining AFGE👉https://afge2883ga.org Check furlough status👉 wcps.cdc.gov (intranet only)

One out of three Trump supporters is as stupid as the other two.

We should do something NOW.

I will NOT be silenced. Fuck Trump! I am anti-fascist, just like my grandfathers who fought them in WWII. #FirstAmendment. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

So, #Dumpster is going to release the Earhart files... maybe he's hoping we won't notice that Earhart and #Epstein aren't spelled the same.

Do these tariffs include the meatballs at IKEA?

@schumer.senate.gov you better not screw us over again, Chuck. Hold the line or you'll be primaried. Signed, The American People

Starbucks unions are practicing picketing as the company abuses its workers and denies them a fair contract. This is your reminder to not cross a picket line and support workers! NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE.

Keep up the fight. Keep talking with your friends and neighbors. It's working, and Trump and his enablers know it. They aren't ramping up the rhetoric and the atrocities because they're winning; they're trying to grab all they can before they lose. #resist www.rawstory.com/trump-267403...
