Hey folks, for anyone near the Brunswick area, we will be at Curtis Memorial Library this Saturday from 2 - 3 PM to collect school supply donations that will then be delivered to Maine Needs next week. We likely also assemble some kits! Consider stopping by to donate or help assemble. Thanks!

Inflammatory disorders can be brutal. I’d know personally (thanks vasculitis et al). But the misinformation, including on vaccines, is dangerous. A deep dive from me into how MAHA sped up the inflammation panic. New from me at @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The Great Inflammation panic
The wellness world's favorite buzzword has gone federal. For those of us with real inflammatory disorders, the misinformation isn't just annoying—it's harmful.

So far only one Maine outlet seems to be shining a light on this weekend's revelation that Susan Collins was caught on tape telling an anti-abortion Mainer she would vote for Kavanaugh again if she had the chance. Maybe everybody else slept in this morning? #MEpolitics

I try my best to follow journalists, look ‘em up to boost, when I find a story on the USDA Forest Service to share. A certain account does the opposite. It hides sources. Follow the journalists.
AltNPS constantly steals from journalists, so I made a list of those journalists. Give the list a follow, and you'll have a solid list of real news sources. These writers deserve your attention!

NEW: Q: "The life issue is just, like, my voting issue...If you could clone Justice Kavanaugh, would you do it?" Susan Collins: "I would vote for him again, yes, if that's what you're asking." #MEpolitics
She Voted for a Justice Who Overturned Roe. Now it Haunts Her on the Trail.
Senator Susan Collins, who supports abortion rights, endorsed Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination for the Supreme Court. It has emerged as a major issue in her campaign for re-election.

We need more reporters like Lisa Fletcher.
In Congress, Lee Zeldin was part of the bipartisan PFAS Task Force. Now, he's rejecting science, dodging basic questions, and abandoning farmers whose lives have been destroyed by PFAS contamination. Kudos to Lisa Fletcher for refusing to let him change the subject and holding his feet to the fire.
At the end of Disability Pride Month, I want to reflect on the labor it takes to be a disabled person being one of a handful of people regularly covering disability. I am exhausted. But I'm also proud of what I do at @motherjones.com.
The Alt National Park Service somehow managed to name the wrong Olympic canoeist here, which I guess is impressive. Most people can't name two Olympic canoeists in the first place, let alone mix them up. The correct canoeist is David Hearn, as in the doc AltNPS linked to, titled "HEARN FILING."

17 Maine women, elected officials all, went to DC to urge Susan Collins to vote against Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court. They were ignored. "Collins didn’t give us five minutes. She never even said hello." Read Maureen Terry's account. Then VOTE for Troy Jackson. #MEpolitics
