No BS. I stand for justice. Old enough to remember when poll tax was legal and Help Wanted ads in newspapers were listed by gender. Young enough to earn my BA 3 years after I qualified for the senior citizen discount on my weed 🤓
Republicans are so loyal to Trump it’s easy for Democrats to pin his failed promises about affordable living on every Republican. And they should. MAGA can scream “socialism” till they’re blue in the face. Family finances & food on the table will always win. It’s why FDR was so beloved.

View: Democrats zero in on a winning formula: Republicans are for Trump, we’re for you
Democrats have realized there’s virtually no Republican brand that isn’t based on the president.

#MEpolitics Anyone else feeling the weight of GOP PACs / dark money machine pressing on the scale to skew the outcome of ME Democratic primaries in favor of candidates they can defeat? Same feeling I had in 2016 when fake accounts & misinfo flooded newspaper comment sections & social media.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Rewatching Star Trek The Original Series. Not as escapist as I thought. “Charlie X” is about the danger of incels with too much power and “A Piece of the Action” depicts a culture where everyone carries a “heater” and the government has been replaced by mobsters.

I’m waiting for reality to dawn on the DNC and Maine Democratic Party leadership. General election voters don’t want the same old spineless Corporate Democrat policies and politicians like Mills and Golden who get all wishy washy about policies like Red Flag.

Shooting Kirk was an atrocious thing to do, just like the other 61 shootings in the US that day, which left 19 dead in total. Gun control must be part of the solution. Will Republicans ever get it? This was one of their own against one of their own; that should open their eyes.

After Minneapolis, Vice President Vance and Melania Trump are out there trying to shift the topic from guns to mental health.
But as usual, the rhetoric is the opposite of reality—Trump's drastic Medicaid cuts in his big, ugly bill will greatly impact mental health services. trib.al/kmStLpp

Forget Trump’s Words. His Actions Prove He Doesn’t Mind if Kids Die.
Below the radar, the second Trump administration has taken extraordinary steps to expand the rights of gun owners and manufacturers.

Today marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised.
Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?
