Every member of the Trump administration should be an exhibit in the Smithsonian National Zoo.

Haley Stevens is going to be Kyrsten Sinema in the Senate. Don't say you weren't warned.
If you got so drunk that you didn’t know you raped someone (if it’s even true that you don’t remember), why would that make the rape okay?
I wonder if we’ll ever see the day when people realize that gender is sociopolitical and not biological.
This is Dora, short for Dorabella. She is NOT “a very good girl.” She is feisty and opinionated and plays hard. She is absolutely adorable.
The United States was founded on racial and gender based slavery and not until we root them out will 99.9% of us have decent lives.
So, the revelation that Platner is a racist, misogynistic lowlife has boosted him in the polls. Mainers just needed to find someone worse than Susan Collins, not better.
Gender is like race. It takes differentiated physical characteristics and imposes a hierarchy of stereotypes on the individual that most often prevents them from fully expressing who they are. Gender is as comfortable as scratchy sweaters. Some people can withstand the discomfort better than others.
Voting for me is easy. You can write my name in the write-in box and then fill in the bubbles accordingly. If you need to pull out your phone to look up how to spell my name, that’s completely fine. I hope I can earn a first place ranking on your ballot. Andreaformaine.com
Maine! You have options! Join me in one of my final virtual town halls before the primary. Ask me your questions and hear about my platform and why I believe that I'm the best candidate to beat Susan Collins. See you there! #mepolitics andreaformaine.com
So I interviewed @andrealaflamme.bsky.social a few weeks back and honestly, the thumbnail was right then and it’s more right now. youtu.be/lg51_c6oQs8

Mainers, you don’t have to vote for a sexual predator and friend of Nazis posing as a progressive.

Go. Sherrill of N.J. is a liar, is. spreading propaganda, and has betrayed her constituents and democrats everywhere.
n.is
Gov. Sherrill lied when she said the Delaney Hall protesters were armed. “The only people who have been armed…are the State Police, ICE, and GEO group…that’s it.” From @ecmclaughlin.bsky.social. Watch today’s broadcast: www.youtube.com/live/cQeM7cc...

What [Gov Mikie Sherrill] has done is to make it easier by far for ICE to operate with no oversight or accountability in the state of New Jersey. …what she’s done now is gas, kettle, flashbang, shoot with less lethal, and arrest her own constituents—today’s broadcast www.youtube.com/live/cQeM7cc...

In a Fascist state, moderates and centrists are Fascists. Just sayin’, @mikiesherrill.bsky.social
Does anyone still not understand that the police are worse than ICE?
Not sure who needs the reminder, but ICE detention centers are actually for-profit concentration camps that are generating billions in revenue for rich prison contractors… Mad yet?!
Here is Tom Steyer personally supporting high school trans athlete AB Hernandez. I don't think I've ever seen a candidate as brave as Tom Steyer in his explicit support for trans folks. It says a lot that it took a self funded billionaire not dependent on donors to do it.
If there is one lesson to be learned today, it’s that the line between law enforcement (the police) and state-sponsored terrorism (ICE and CBP) is a thin line, if at all.
I’ve changed my mind about the California governor’s race. Call me a one-issue voter but this alone has me supporting Tom Steyer: www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

I wish I’d said this first: you can’t have POLICE without ICE.
I’m doing the numbers on Medicare. Out of the box, Part A only provides 80% of catastrophic coverage. For full medical coverage, for a family of four, it would require $811.60/month. To cover the 20% requires Part G, another $1000/month. Add another $40/month for Part D drug coverage.
Anyone who thinks “Medicare for All” is a viable healthcare solution has never been on Medicare!
Platner has the Nazi trifecta. I’m pretty sure he’s a malignant narcissist because that would explain how he’s duped so many people.
Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin@ecmclaughlin.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe thing is Platner is not the only Dem in the race. People should learn the name Andrea LaFlamme (among others) before telling people a tattoo sporting Blackwater operative who thinks rape victims deserve it is the only option.
There is no Supreme Court. Simply six Fascists who feel empowered to destroy the livelihoods of 99% of Americans because we don’t stop them.
John Roberts mission in life has been to fuck up all aspects of democracy. Making him Chief Justice is like getting a fox to look after your chickens.
For the right wing, it’s obvious that the right to life begins at conception and ends at birth.
