Hi, my name is Adam. (He/They) You probably don't know me, but I am running for Congress in ME-2. My politics are far to the left of Golden, and I want to give a voice to those who want a restoration of working government, and policies that help everyone.

About me: Tired of lip service about the middle class while ignoring the working poor, or the disenfranchised. Solidly anti-authoritarian.

substack.com/@adamforme2 for policy, thoughts, and other random snippets. Not really fully fleshed out but it is what it is. Some amount of personal leakage.

Friendly reminder: This is Trump, and Republican's, government shutdown.

Don't let them gaslight you.

Also: Fuck @golden.house.gov

@golden.house.gov

2 months inactive on Bluesky? Given your history of running away from constituents with tough questions, I can't say I am surprised. I am, however, disappointed at what a joke of a man you are.

Resign.

Kratom should be left alone. Stop these stupid wars on things that help people.

Really looking forward to the “we are slowly approaching what some experts could potentially refer to as possibly, in practical terms, with a few caveats, fascist governance… but other observers still maintain we have note yet seen such clear signs” takes from @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com.

Immortal words: "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"

It's been over a month since Golden tried to communicate his bullshit on this platform. Congrats all, we scared him off. <3

Someone reported me to management for saying "I don't understand how Trump still has supporters."

Such thin skin, in a conversation they had no part in.

Adam @adamformainecd2.bsky.social · Jul 2

Hall Pass Collins is "immune" from scrutiny, and obviously is a moderate. /s

Adam @adamformainecd2.bsky.social · Jul 1

Woke up, drank some coffee, paid some bills, and called my Senators.

Keep up the pressure. If the bill passes, we can choose violence. In the mean time, I recommend strong vocal condemnation.

Adam @adamformainecd2.bsky.social · Jun 30

The federal government has broken the social contract, and I have 0 interest in my continued participation with it.

Golden and Collins can go take a long walk off a short pier. May their corpses feed the fish they "care so much" about.

Out here doing the lord's work.

Susan Collins and Jared Golden can go fuck right off into the vacuum of space.

Adam @adamformainecd2.bsky.social · Jun 26

For the record, I still maintain that I will engage in fisticuffs on the congressional floor, if you send me to Congress.

A lot of the people haven't had reality shoved forcefully in their face via a right hook in a really long time, and it shows. Let's make bigots afraid again.

Adam @adamformainecd2.bsky.social · Jun 26

That isn't to say that I wouldn't run, but we sit here, staring at the obvious, and the reality is I don't have it in me due to circumstances. Politics is largely a rich person game, and I'm a semi-disabled person working barely part-time. I would need a monstrous infusion of cash to even start.

Adam @adamformainecd2.bsky.social · Jun 26

I wish I had the means to effectively run a campaign for CD2. I would love for the left to have even a hint of representation.

I started this page hopeful, and full of piss and vinegar, but reality is I'm poor as dirt, a recluse, and don't even have a car. That makes the whole thing a non-starter.

Adam @adamformainecd2.bsky.social · Jun 22

As someone without a congressman, I agree with this.

@golden.house.gov, much like his predecessor, has got to go.

Scott Shapiro @scottjshapiro.bsky.social · Jun 22

I’ll say it again: It was a huge mistake for Congress to abolish itself.

Adam @adamformainecd2.bsky.social · Jun 22

War with Iran should be a non-starter with all of us. The middle east isn't our problem, and Israel is using it as a means to keep Bibi out of jail.

Sounds like a familiar issue.

Adam @adamformainecd2.bsky.social · Jun 19

I placed my call, have you?

LD 1971 is good policy when you are dealing with a lawless fed.

Joshua Failé @joshuafaile.bsky.social · Jun 19

ALERT: There are reports that Governor Mills will most likely veto LD 1971, likely in an attempt to placate the right-flank.

If you live in Maine and want to protect our immigrant community, please take a few minutes this morning to call and email her office to tell her you support the bill.

Adam @adamformainecd2.bsky.social · Jun 13

"To whomever is listening to this call, you should resign because you are working for a fucking fascist" is the voicemail I just left.

I wonder how much churn there is in his office these days.

Adam @adamformainecd2.bsky.social · Jun 10

A poor choice by Maine, IMO. Decriminalization would have been a net positive.

Portland Press Herald @pressherald.com · Jun 10

The Maine House of Representatives reversed course on Monday and voted against a bill to decriminalize small amounts of psychedelic mushrooms for therapeutic use.

Maine House balks at decriminalizing possession of psychedelic mushrooms

A bill to allow small amounts of psilocybin for therapeutic use had cleared the House and Senate by a single vote in each chamber, but the House then reversed course, voting against its enactment.

The sheer temerity of deploying our men in uniform on US, the US citizen, should not be lost on anyone. This is a violation of law, and constitution.

We are in a full blown autocratic crisis, made worse by the fact that this regime is planning a military parade as well.

This is the face of fascism

Adam @adamformainecd2.bsky.social · Jun 8

Given the US militaries absolute failure against small country insurgence. Doing a US size nation will lead to military collapse.

US military may have guns, but many won't follow orders, and those that do, will be outnumbered probably close to 20:1.

That's my optimism.

Friendly and daily reminder that every day ICE exists is a bad day our nation.

Fuck ICE. ACAB.
