That’s terribly sad and ridiculous.

Did you tear-up today when you were out protesting because you felt the camaraderie and fellowship with so many like-minded and caring people?

I did.

Did you tear-up today when you were protesting because you're still processing the fact that we're rapidly tumbling toward authoritarianism?

I did.

That is freaking incredible! I don’t see us ever having a crowd that large here in Maine, but it’s awe inspiring seeing them gathering in large cities around our country.
I happened to see Governor Janet Mills at our #NoKings protest in Auburn, Maine.

Mainers, vote No on 1! Spread the word, it isn’t simply a voter ID measure, there are several ways Tha it also attacks Absentee Voting and Early Voting.
There’s 1,000 times more chatter about the Maine senate race in a year than about Maine’s ballot measure in 3 weeks that’d bring voter ID and crack down on mail voting… maybe let’s start there??? boltsmag.org/maine-questi...
A Ballot Measure Targets Mail Voting in Maine - Bolts
Question 1, on the November ballot, would set up a barrage of new restrictions on absentee ballots that would considerably affect older voters and people with disabilities.

The more I stew about it, the more I agree. There's a lot of excitement about Graham Platner, showing that he could have what it takes. To those that argue he hasn't held office before - everyone needs to start somewhere, right? A lot of Mainers (primarily Rs) cannot stand Mills. We want new!
I’m not completely sure how I feel about her running for Senate. My gut reaction was disappointment. Don’t get me wrong, I like a lot of what she has done, but I want a younger, more enthusiastic candidate.
I was trying to delete Columbus Day from my phone calendar the other day, couldn’t do it. I like that it has Indigenous Peoples Day, though.
I am so very sorry. I wish you both peace.

My 14 was SO MAD at me this morning when I wouldn’t allow him to wash his hair. At 7:13. We needed to leave at 7:10, because 17 has to catch a bus to get to technical school. His alarm (me) had started going off at 6:30.
It sure would be nice if this were true, fingers crossed.
My high school freshman son has to independently read 1000 pages by the end of November. He’s currently reading a Stephen King book, and I encouraged him read banned books for the entirety.
She is such a twit. It blows my mind that she voted early, yet is pushing so hard on Question 1, which is being touted as a voter ID law, but is a multi pronged attack on absentee/early voting.
