I feel like there were a lot of lost debriefs. Definitely a lot of individual ones and a lot of political takes, but sometimes I’m not sure that’s how we learn. It’s been wild to have the country complain about three out of four of our federal elected officials and have such few volunteers.

Yeah. I have pages of how I would do things differently, but there are so many other elements to it. It felt more general than maine specific. A friend sent me a document to add all of the events that I was involved in and trainings and it is something I want to do. We need that history.

Is this what you are referring to?
I actually wouldn’t characterize a statement that way, and would agree with a significant portion of what he states.

Thanks, as you know, he’s insulting my work. He also doesn’t know that I am an advisor to Graham so he thinks that it’s a great look and protective of Graham to do this bullshit. It’s not.

Thank you.
So much work. I didn’t stop until I got sick.

I definitely have a lot that I would do differently and I learned some hard lessons but I am very proud of all of the people that I made sure were trained. I built a rapid response protest network w/ 16 protests & ran so many campaigns.

Not accurate at all. We barely had a women’s march in Maine.
November 15, 2025 at 1:31 AM
Thank you for sharing that. Do you have the link for that? I’m sorry to ask I really would like to read it.

I think & hope people remember differently. I put my entire life into it. I have the bruises & the hits.

Women’s march in maine was literally my women’s group.

Erasure.

I’m friends with Angela, Sam and Tony after raising money for them and inviting them to meet us in Boston at a counter protest of the alt right. They came up.
They are former violent white supremacists who did the work and now help others leave.

Tony taught me a lot about compassion. Unexpected.

Can you ask Governor Mills if she’s gonna sign the bill that’s stopping police from cooperating with ice? Because we can’t find that out in Maine.
Can you ask her why she stopped funding rape kits ? Or Pfas? Or why farm workers don’t deserve a minimum wage? She promised to enact RCV and didn’t why?

Have you ever connected with the folks from Life After Hate? I worked with them after Charlottesville. Trump defunded their program that helped identify Foulkes at risk of radicalization. Their program is extraordinary, and a group of us from maine are actually in their documentary.

Thanks for interviewing him. I had one of the most joyful movement conversations with him that I’ve ever had. I can’t even express what it meant. Maine is so complicated to explain to people. But I think the people need to understand the silence before they understand the noise.

“Can Barack talk sense…now?”what’s the story there?
