May the current atmosphere of American politics and lack of integrity in mainstream oligarch-owned journalism encourage many more like Bruce Sagan to emerge. #OpposetheOligarchy #SaveJournalism

I proudly stand in solidarity with the nearly 5,000 SEIU-UWH Sutter Health workers across Northern California who are demanding a fair contract with decent wages and affordable health benefits. Sutter must get serious and reach a fair deal now.

I see it happening like this: FBI: "Okay, we gotta make this look like it was an anti-ice shooter, not someone aiming for detainees." Agent: takes his boss literally, grabs a blue sharpie and writes "ANTI ICE" on an unused bullet.

From 1 hour ago: THIS is really f*cked up. Read the article and how odd, how rare, this is. Speculation online goes from a dismantling of the military & top 100 or so admirals & generals (replacing them with sycophant yesmen) to ordering a mass crushing of dissent, to Epstein distraction. #RESIST

A good reason to vote in an "off-year" election! #Mainers like #AbsenteeVoting. #MaineQuestion1 would make that option harder. The November referendum has been framed around requiring #VoterID, but it also includes a host of changes to absentee voting. www.pressherald.com/2025/08/21/q...

Without federal funding, public media — and the truth-telling, community-connecting role it plays — is at risk. Local stations may vanish. Millions could lose trusted news and vital information. If you are ready to join the fight for journalism, donate now: n.pr/458sOhq

Just like tax evasion was what finally got Al Capone convicted and imprisoned, I hope it's Epstein files that finally does t2.

How many will stand up, no matter the cost, for what they believe is right when ordered to go against what they swore to uphold? Some have. . . how many more will? It will take this kind of action on every front to stop the madness.
