Y’all judge me because I won’t for establishment Dems. And there’s a whole bunch of influencers online who won’t even address me because they think we gotta VBNMW.

I see you. I won’t say your names though. I’m trying to play nice.

Two dozen masked ICE Federal Secret Police, who are kitted out like they are going to war, kidnap a local and brutalize the community.

Toward the end of the video, they throw a gas cannister that almost hits a baby. 😟

Janet Mills is now in the Maine Senate race.

I will NOT be supporting her in the primary

I am offended that a 77 years old thinks that’s a good idea.

I also have no patience for anyone who takes money from AIPAC.

It’s time for new blood.

Graham Platner is electrifying the people of Maine.

It's a long-held fact that the free-press is the first freedom to go when a dictator is in the process of taking over a government. We are currently in that position now. No question. Our press definitely must hang on to save us from that fate.

Regardless of the party, gerrymandering is an abomination. I really don't think the credibility of our electoral system will hold if politicians can continue to cynically rig their own districts whenever they please.

If you're angry about immigration now, wait until you hear about 2°C+ global warming and the impact that will have. People, in fact whole nations will not patiently wait to die where they stand.

Remember when Israel and Netanyahu killed their own civilians on 10/7 with the Hannibal directive and knew Hamas was gonna attack, but then committed a genocide on Palestinians with the support of both US political parties who tried to gaslight us and pretend it was a war?

Disability is one of the only minority groups you can join at any time.

Everyone thinks they will be the exception.

It won’t happen to them. They will “try harder” and overcome.

They think we’re failing.

It is not a moral failing and very few people will be the exception.

Data from 2023. The good ‘ol days. 🤦‍♂️
Measles and pertussis are already on the rise.
Sadly we won’t see these numbers ever again, except for maybe SP, unless it escapes some lab freezer or closet (remember that one?).

A bar graph showing the numbers of cases of various diseases in the US in 2023.
Vaccines have decreased cases of Measles, Pertussis, Mumps, Rubella, smallpox, Diptheria, and polio by over 97%.

Corporations should not be able to post any profits until they have given all their employees an annual pay rise that exceeds the inflation rate.
