72 hours, five town halls:
600 people in Belfast
650 in Brewer
150 in Dover-Foxcroft
275 in Rumford
290 in Skowhegan

A movement is building before our eyes.

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.

I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

"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."

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

🧵⬇️Lately, I had two complaints from followers re posting anything from Substack due to their tolerance of their right-wing content creators. This is the most recent article that I've found:

Try calling your state Attorneys General. They're not usually accustomed to phone calls and it should get their attention. Ask them to file a lawsuit as many Blue states are doing. Those of us who do not accept this denial of due process and the subsequent threat to citizenship need to speak up.

🧵⬇️ Gift article. CO lawsuit filed. The lawsuit was filed by the ACLU of Colorado and local attorneys. It challenges ICE arrest practices that have surged this year, and it asks a federal judge to rule that those practices are illegal and order ICE to stop.

Gift article. Unclear as to whether or not this possible detention facility will be opened. Gov. Polis: are you able to block this?

But Kristi is definitely NOT petty? Girl?! Read the room. Your behavior is very, very ugly & I’m afraid that translates into being mocked on South Park. Deal with it.

Also, if you didn’t like South Park, wait until you catch a clip of last night’s SNL.

Acts of history making & resistance.

Talk with your provider about what vaccines are best for you. Thanks to science, we have the opportunity to live longer, healthier lives.

Double your efforts Houston!!! Say NO KINGS!!!

This is so fucked up‼️Military families are having to go to food banks because #TrumpShutUSDown We bailed out Argentina to the tune of $20 billion and Qatar is getting a Air Force base in Idaho, but our military personnel have to resort to this. Republicans can’t govern‼️

The Nobel committee chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes was asked about the decision not to award the peace prize to Trump, after the American president and his allies made clear they thought he deserved it.

😁

October 18 we have a simple message:

No thrones.

No crowns.

Rush hour. Lincoln Square.
2 Border Patrol thugs tackled a WGN-TV producer to the pavement in front of horrified commuters, handcuffing her, face-down.

Debbie Brockman, a journalist with WGN since 2011, identified herself before being dragged into an unmarked silver van with New Jersey plates.

Get ready, Houston! On Saturday, October 18, we have two opportunities to say, “No Kings!”

Choose the one that works best for you, or go to both and get into double the good trouble.

Let’s show the world the power of peaceful protest!

Somebody call a physical therapist. Johnson definitely pulled something in his shoulder with this reach.

While he recovers, #NoKings is gearing up for what we hope will be the largest peaceful protest in history.

8 days to go! We are NOT backing down!

In 8 days we RISE to say #NoKings

LFG! Share if you’ve had enough

"They're firing the judges because they think they're not going to need them. Instead of empowering the courts to process more cases, the administration appears to be eviscerating the system to potentially undermine legal proceedings altogether."

To quote Letitia James: "We are not fearful. We are fearless."

October 18, we show the true POWER of the people and that in America, we have #NoKings
social.demcast.com/s/YvUrfvZw

We don't bow.

We don't kneel.

In America, we decide, not dictators.

No thrones. No crowns. #NoKings social.demcast.com/s/Z1fEFSb8

We are a peaceful, nonviolent movement, because that’s what’s most effective at taking down tyrants.

But we WILL drop F bombs.

Listen to Robert De Niro “King Donald The First. F*ck that.”

In 8 days we RISE to say No F*cking Kings!

There are some things Billionaires can't buy...
The integrity of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Trump blows up Venezuelan boats while María Corina Machado, the Venezuelan democratic opposition leader, "who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness," wins the award.
