Also, I've seen plenty of older folks at his rallies and town halls. I hear it I do, especially as a woman but hear me out: a safe manly/masculine entity in office could be huge for our state and our country. A healed masculine figure is EXACTLY what we need right now. Opposite of toxic masculine

Don't know if you've been to one of his Town Halls yet, but I highly recommend you go listen to him speak in person, at least once. The man has a fiery passion and a good heart. We need that right now more than ever. Us of the younger generations who love this state with a burning passion need this!

It's day 13 of the shutdown. What's Trump doing?

Negotiating a budget deal? No.

Preventing premiums from doubling? No.

Stopping 15 million Americans from losing health care? No.

He's meeting the Pres. of Argentina to reward him with a $20 billion bailout.

America first?

...and I think it is our duty to acknowledge that, and acknowledge the ever changing systems in our world.

Getting offline and doing the work in person is part of the answer. Staying informed is another. Connecting with our community. Getting people's phone numbers - which i have done.

It's a weird ass scary world right now. There is so much uncertainty.

I said I was gonna get off Instagram and instead am posting a ton of political content. I realized recently, activism is currently one of my top values. I'm not sure what to do with yet other than re-share content and speak my opinion. Speak my truth.

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