“The president’s blatantly unlawful executive order, issued in the middle of the night, threatens our ability to serve the American public with educational programming, as we have for the past 50-plus years.”

Please, if have $10 a month to spare become a sustainer.

NPR and PBS Vow to Fight Trump’s Order to Cut Funding

NPR called the order, which could upend public media, “an affront to the First Amendment.”

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Chuck Schumer should be focused on fighting Donald Trump and protecting healthcare for millions of Americans, not meddling in a Maine primary.

DC's choice has lost to Susan Collins five times in a row. We can't afford a sixth.

All without a single cent of corporate PAC money.

Thank you to every grassroots donor who’s tired of the DC establishment losing winnable elections to Republicans.

We are fighting for true freedom. The freedom to live a life of dignity and joy.

A life of 80 hour work weeks, of constantly struggling to get by, being trapped in a shitty job by your health insurance — this is not freedom, and we are not free. But we could be. If we fight.

Yup. Big business won with her on several occasions. I voted for her but the senate needs new blood, fresh ideas and working class reps. He’s not Fetterman as some mentioned, Fetterman is a pro-genocide Trump-loving freak show.

"Platner has held events from Portland to Caribou, in venues ranging from the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland to local pizza shops. Crowds have overflowed to hear Platner speak about wealth inequality, health care & his plan to unseat five-term Republican Sen. Susan Collins."

Are you a Mainer? I think he has a real chance here, everyone I know loves his policies and see him as authentic. We are so sick and tired of Susan!

dinainmaine.bsky.social @dinainmaine.bsky.social · 8h

Agreed!!

dinainmaine.bsky.social @dinainmaine.bsky.social · 9h

It’s never respectful with those dudes, not enough to say they disagree with the candidate, they have to trash you, too!

Once again, we are going to stomp all over a candidate who actually offers a departure from the moderate tactics that have made the party stagnant. And then we will wonder why we keep losing this motherfucking Senate race all the time.

Mills is 77, I’m sick and tired of the establishment wanting us to believe that new ideas can’t win. Mills has been a good governor, but it’s time for change.
