If you live in Maine, and you‘re looking for a public servant and not another damn politician for Senator, may I recommend Andrea? Seems to me that she actually cares about the people she’s running to represent.

Spring is here in Minnesota, and this is just a friendly reminder to all of my dirt loving friends to make sure your tetanus shot is up to date! That rich black soil carries tetanus, and sometimes those gardening gloves have to come off to get the work done. Make sure you‘re protected. #vaccinate

ActBlue donors can request refunds if they donated to Swalwell’s campaign. Pass it on.

No. But what would? Funding NOAA and the National Weather Service and staffing it with subject-matter experts. This kind of prediction-market “reporting” makes journalism look satirical.

This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥 Footage from @margaret_nagle on Threads.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...

I love words. what extraordinary tools they are.

NEW: To some far-right Christian nationalists, the SAVE America Act's attacks on voting rights isn't enough. Instead, they're vying for even more suppressive measures: Revoking women's suffrage, instituting "family voting" and restricting the vote to property owners.

Bellisimo. I am crashing out too.

Hey Wisconsin folx. There is an election tomorrow. If you haven’t voted already, make it a point to. Looking at you ladies. They don’t want you to be Able to vote. All the more reason to do it.

This is unacceptable. As U.S. Senator I will do everything I can to combat environmental degradation and that includes banning the building of these colossal data centers. #MEpolitics

Came on BlueSky only to discover everyone GenXer on here either stressing, crying, or both about the Artemis II launch. I’m in the both camp myself. I think we all need to talk to our therapists about the Challenger disaster now. It’s time, folks.

Every spring I have a moment when I realize, oh yeah, I have asthma, and I have to go dig my inhaler out from wherever I left it at the end of last spring. Took a five minute coughing fit this morning to remind me I had asthma. I guess I’m lucky that get to forget about it for 3/4 of the year.

instead of just telling people about the devastating effects of the climate crisis we should talk about actionable solutions and adaptation strategies

This is gonna get some knickers in a twist, but if someone raised their hand in history class and said "If every day Germans would have embraced bipartisanship and worked with the Nazis, the Holocaust could have been avoided!" you'd give them a LOOK. It is ok to draw lines in extreme circumstances.

#NoKings Rally held in St. Peter #MN01 on Saturday Totally agree with #Veteran Sandy Bartlett “I’m no fan of Iran, but I am even less of a fan of bombing innocent people and civilians. There definitely should have been another way" #FinstadIranWar #FinstadWatch www.keyc.com/video/2026/0...

I agree. Graham Platner is redeemable too. But redemption is a personal story arc. It’s none of our business. Not only has he not demonstrated redemption but what he is seeking is not redemption. He is seeking tremendous political power. Like a Nazi would in this very moment.

I feel metaphorically hoarse from screaming the past 30 years, but here we are. Maybe people are ready to hear it now.

We need to stop creating Cassandras and start listening to women.

As always, sharing actually makes a tremendous difference even if you can't chip in because getting more non-Minnesotan eyes on Minnesota rent needs is the best chance of getting them funded. Minnesotans have already majorly overextended themselves paying rents.

We have tried NINE TIMES to pass a clean bill to pay TSA workers. Nine times, Republicans blocked it. The airport chaos you’re seeing this spring break is a choice. Republicans are making it.

A reminder that we don’t need billionaires to pay charity, we need them to pay their damn taxes. Billionaire philanthropy is PR to disguise their tax evasion. Don’t fall for it. Tax billionaires. Save our democracy. Period.

So I’ve discovered that aging means either: a) I wear my glasses and take them off when I need to read or b) I wear contacts and have to stretch my arms to their limit to read anything. And before you suggest progressive lenses in my glasses, they give me vertigo. Aging is fun.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

Have you found yourself looking at the current candidates for U.S. Senate in Maine and wondering if any of them show up for workers then they aren’t campaigning? I’m the only elected union officer in this race and I’ve been speaking up for workers for years. Check it out: www.andreaformaine.com/news

Happy St. Gertrude Day to all who celebrate

To every man out there who tries to quibble with or reframe a woman’s experience of sexual harassment / inappropriate relationships with power differentials (student/professor, manager/employee, etc.) into something appropriate and consensual, please fuck all of the way off. You don’t get to reject

This thread is from May, 2021. Roe hadn't been slaughtered yet, but the writing was on the wall. Texas, the Trojan Horse, was doing its bad work making women unsafe. I re-up this thread for 2 reasons: 1. Still relevant 2. My absolute RAGE that I've been struggling through.

I've been getting quite a few questions from press, etc. and so wrote up something a little bit longer here: cooperativeoverlapping.substack.com/p/a-fuller-s...

Happy Pi Day! Every great community needs the same basic ingredients: good jobs, affordable homes, and family support. As your State Senator, I'll fight for the ingredients that matter, because a community where people choose to stay is one worth building. #pizza #piday #chuck4md #jobs #families

Georgia - Senator Ossoff needs to win re-election! Help him by simply checking that your voter registration is intact. Voter roll purges started in August. Please remind friends and family.

One of my favorites—I like to remind tech bros that they wouldn’t have jobs without Hedy. They stand on the shoulders of (women) giants, and not just in this case. Women contain multitudes. Maybe it’s time we run the world.

TIL—you should, too. Trust me.

Hey all, if you have the capacity to help out two Minnesota families who are struggling, this is a great way to do it.

A Moderate Risk has been issued with a 15% CIG2 Hatch area. Confidence is increasing that any storm in this environment will have the potential to produce EF3+ tornadoes. Take today very seriously. @myradar.bsky.social #ilwx

Just saying the quiet part out loud. If this is your insurance company, I suggest it’s time to switch. If he only cares about money, hit him where it hurts.
