Born a redhead. Went grey 23 seconds after I realized it didn’t suck. Voting rights AND access. Lift from the bottom, everyone rises. 🚫 DM’s if we don’t know each other.

Many of us come from ancestors who had no choice but to survive in order for us to be here. We know the drill. It’s in our bones.

By the time harm comes 2 those who brought this on, I won’t have feelings to spare. They are reserved for those who knew, and who will be harmed first.

Last year I posted the importance of a burner flip phone in your “go bag”

You can use that phone when you want to maintain your privacy.

Say walking with a sign in the afternoon with a bunch of white people on a Saturday.

Burner flip phone to ensure your privacy and everyone’s safety.

There can be NO “let’s just try to find a way to get along” BS.

They are who they have always been. Dems need to stop pretending there is some reasoning to be done.

She deleted her posts.
Maybe she recognized she had a ww reading comprehension problem. Or maybe the comments were coming in fast and hard.

I’m going with the latter.

MA primary voters were so concerned about age that they elected then 74-year-old Ed Markey over then 39-year-old Joe Kennedy. So spare me the selective ageism takes in Maine.

As I've noted, central to Stephen Miller's propaganda is the claim that the Chicago complex targeted by ICE was "filled" with Tren de Aragua "terrorists."

Now @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social reports that the number of TdA members netted in that raid is down to *one.*

She said the words they didn’t want to hear:

Israel has a right to defend itself.

She was not letting the “from the river to the sea” people on stage. She set a boundary.

They wanted to show her. And here we are, with the same ceasefire and no peace deal but maybe an oceanfront Trump hotel.

Kristi R @kdrothschild.bsky.social · 6h

Already moved the goalposts from “ceasefire” to “peace agreement.”

Next it will be eradication of the Jewish state. And I am not joking when I say that will be their next demand.

Kristi R @kdrothschild.bsky.social · 6h

I didn’t see any news reporting 200 people killed since the ceasefire. That’s why I’m asking. I’ve looked.

Do you have any links for this?

It’s like bashing career politicians. Political science is a college minor/major. Macro & microeconomics, world & American history, law, comparative politics, sociology, etc. Not having this foundation makes someone less effective a representative. Not impossible but not effective.

Kristi R @kdrothschild.bsky.social · 9h

Six years of someone w/tons of govt experience & a known track record while other viable candidates gain experience in governing, micro/macro economics, history, foreign & domestic law & policy, younger than the last 2 POTUS. Sounds great.

Or a candidate with none of that, but younger. Hmmm.

Santiago Mayer @santiagomayer.com · 16h

I like and respect Gov. Mills, I really do.

But she’s already said she’d only serve one term if elected. Why would we nominate someone just for us to have to defend the seat in 6 years?

Graham Platner is 40. He brings a new vision of politics and can serve for quite a bit.

Kristi R @kdrothschild.bsky.social · 9h

He has zero experience in macro/microeconomics, domestic/foreign policy making, drafting and enacting legislation, governance, etc. He can learn, but that’s what local/regional offices are for. Start there. Prove yourself. Make a record. Move up.

the same people who warned you about john fetterman are warning you about that dude in Maine. if you want to get duped into another fetterman, by all means continue attacking Janet Mills.

if you'd like a reliable vote for democracy, democratic values, and Mainers, go with a proven track record.
