A helpful reminder to my fellow Mainers (and all Americans) 👇
The statute of limitations for violations of federal law is 5 years.

Your photographs, videos, and livestreams can be used as evidence in future cases.

So while this Administration may not hold anyone accountable, a future Administration will.

Texas A&M has decided that Plato is woke & thus has forbidden a philosophy professor from teaching Plato's works.

Not a joke. Not satire. This is the world the anti-woke "free speech warriors" have bequeathed us.

Drop the race and gender material from your course and the Plato readings, or teach a different course. You have a day to decide. That's a paraphrase of what Martin Peterson, professor of philosophy at Texas A&M University, was told by university officials today about his upcoming "Contemporary Moral Problems" course, due to start next
