A simple sign calls us to dig deep and see who we really are. Although many of us have not been touched by harm, we are at that point where we can save our future or allow it to be another era of suffrage. Ask yourselves the hard question? Will you step outside of your comfort zone?

In the past four weeks, Costco, which has embraced DEI initiatives, GAINED 7 million shoppers…
Target, which got rid of DEI, LOST 5 million shoppers!
That’s the power we have as consumers.
Remember that.

I haven’t been to a @dropkickmurphys.com concert since I moved back to Maine. It’s clearly time to remedy that.
EXCLUSIVE: This just happened onstage in front of 6,000 Bostonians at the Dropkick Murphys concert. "This is America, no kings here!" @dropkickmurphys.com nails it again!!

Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show:
They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirt—“Let’s see where it’s made.”
Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag…
Made in Nicaragua.
They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee.
Legendary.

Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times.
“In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”

This. I don’t understand how people can assure this is his last term. He absolutely will attempt a third.
C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention!
This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

If we want democracy to win, we have to run the authoritarian playbook in reverse. That means building up power in all the competing places that authoritarians see as obstacles to conquer or neutralize. Here's how:

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

Don’t mess with a Maine woman - she won’t back down. I don’t always love Gov Mills as our Governor but I do always love how she doesn’t back down to bully’s.
Gov. Janet Mills of Maine threatened legal action after President Trump said he would withhold funding to her state unless she complied with his executive order banning transgender athletes from women’s sports.

Woke or biology? There are actually more than the basic “male” XY & “female” XX sexes. Why? Because biology also creates people with single X chromosomes, or extra chromosomes like XXX, XXY, XYY, or XXX+, plus many 🧬genes. 👉All I’m asking is— please be kind to others. Thanks🙏

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.
