Leaders can lead only because followers follow.

Here is a small illustration of the leader that Susan Collins has chosen to follow. #mepolitics #nokings

Nearly 7 million people across the country turned out for the second “No Kings” protests against Trump and his administration, marking the largest single-day demonstration against a sitting president in modern history, organizers said. Trump responded with an obscene video of himself defecating.

Did Susan Collins care about these things? I doubt it.

A lot of Mainers turned out yesterday, but one was missing.

Where was Susan Collins? Too busy to talk (or listen) to the people she swore an oath to represent?

Where was Susan Collins today? On the sidewalk, listening to thousands of Mainers who turned out to speak out? I don’t think so.

Johnson should stop by and ask a few dozen folks how much they got paid to turn out. And maybe why they “hate America”.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 1d

Greenberg: I have got something to say to Mike Johnson who spent all week smearing regular Americans. There are nearly a dozen No Kings protests happening across your district today.

Since you have not been doing your job for over a month now, I bet you have got time to stop by.
