“But the cause for which we fought was higher; our thought wider... That thought was our power.”
Rules for thee, none for me. Fucking hypocrites.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoBRENNAN: Should there be an ethics probe to look into Max Miller? REP. MIKE TURNER: This is a matter of litigation. This is best handled in a courtroom, not a TV studio. This type of speculation is better for TMZ than CBS B: So it doesn't matter to you? TURNER: The court needs to handle this
In a nutshell, Shitler’s Turd Reich lacks enough evidence to deport thru traditional methods. www.npr.org/2026/07/30/g...

Pine Tree Activism@pinetreeactivism.org · last wk.Maine senate candidate Troy Jackson on Morning Joe, explaining again why Mainers are fed up and frustrated, how much we've lost already, and that the biggest cuts from the Big Ugly Bill are evil in that they go into effect *after* the midterms. #JacksonForMaine #MEpolitics #MEsen #VoteForTroy
The next Dem presidential candidate should propose a sliding scale for corporate tax rates tied directly to the percentage of their employees who receive SNAP or other public benefits The Walmarts and McDonalds' of the world have sucked us dry for far too long now by not paying people a living wage
Summers as a Gen X kid… Candy cigarettes, lawn darts & running amok! Don’t come home before the street lights come on! Amirite?!
Andrea Junker@strandjunker.com · 2w agoGeneration X (1965–1980): • Ages 46 to 61 • Looking somewhere between 29 and “none of your business” • Didn’t grow up sheltered — we were basically turned loose outdoors • Independent at 10; still refusing to act like adults at 50 • Our childhood would make a modern parent group chat implode
Looks like Dino Goldenshower wanted to get at least one more “fuck you, Maine” in before he scurries back under a rock.
Indivisible ❌👑@indivisible.org · 2w ago6 Democrats just voted with the House GOP to pass the NDAA — with a provision to hand over part of the US military to Netanyahu AND Trump’s voter suppression bill (the SAVE Act) attached to it. These 6 Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for betraying their constituents and Democratic voters.
Arresting genocidal murderer Bibi the Baby Butcher and successfully sending that pile of shit to The Hague to stand trial is EXACTLY how you get my vote for POTUS. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/...
New York’s Mamdani says looking into Netanyahu arrest during city visit

Quisling Collins needs to go. If she’s smart, she’ll run away to another state. She’s the closest Maine has had to being a traitorous Benedict Arnold.
Just remembering watching Christopher Hitchens on FOX News with my mother right after Jerry Falwell had passed, when he said, "If you gave Falwell an enema he could be buried in a matchbox."
I always suspected that there was some inside “joke” to that shtick on Family Guy about James Woods following a trail of candy.
Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social · 4w agoAmber Tamblyn claims that at age 16, she and a friend were approached by James Woods at a diner. She says he invited them to Las Vegas, and after she disclosed her age, he allegedly replied, “Even better.” Now Woods has locked his account. Truly the sign of an innocent man.
Am I for body cams for law enforcement? Sure! Those should be worn by people going into harm’s way, where any recording of evidence could be needed. Am I for cameras/plate readers/etc at intersections? FUCK NO! Those are intrusive data stealers on everyone merely passing by to go to work.
Damn! That’s 1.4 followed by a T! That said, it wouldn’t break my heart one bit if everything Meta went the way of the dinosaurs. Zuckerberg has been a net negative on humanity’s overall wellbeing for nearly two decades now. And he’s gotten filthy rich in the process.

NEW on “Paper Trail”: Reporter @reneedudley.bsky.social heard Microsoft was running tech support for the Pentagon through China, the country’s biggest cybersecurity adversary. She thought it sounded like a conspiracy theory — until she started looking into it. Listen to the full episode:
How Microsoft’s “Little Workaround” Created a Major Pentagon Threat
A little-known Microsoft program allowed China-based engineers to service the U.S. government’s sensitive computer systems — until reporter Renee Dudley found out about it.

In any just society, the needs of the many will outweigh the greed of a few. Subhuman garbage like Elon Musk plainly demonstrates that we don’t live in a just society.
Trying to use religion to justify your racism only works on weak minded fools. The rest of us see shit mongers like Dale Partridge for the racist, subhuman garbage that they truly are.
Right Wing Watch @rightwingwatch.bsky.social · 4w agoPreaching that God has assigned black people to "a civilizational station of subordination and dependence" due to the Curse of Ham, Christian nationalist pastor Dale Partridge calls for a "return to European Christian colonization of African nations." www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...
We don’t have much time to dick around with this, & those calling for another round of RCV don’t realize the limited timeline we have to work with. As such, I’m completely fine with a convention as long as it’s not intentionally stacked to sway the outcome in favor of one particular candidate.
Maine Democrats plan 600-person convention to replace Graham Platner once he drops out
The U.S. Senate candidate has until Monday to exit the race.
pressherald.com
Why do I get the sneaking suspicion that the only Republican currently in federal office that doesn’t have a bunch of skeletons hiding in his closet is Thomas Massie?
I supported Graham Platner because his message was clear & honest. Republicans & democrats are fighting each other when we should be going after the oligarchs stripping us of everything. However, these allegations of rape and his response to it leads me to believe that he’s guilty. #TimeForTroy
Troy Jackson files paperwork to explore replacing Graham Platner
The filing comes as a “Draft Troy” effort gained momentum among Jackson allies Tuesday morning, and as Platner faces near-total abandonment by Democrats.
