Our dove flies in Biddeford. Mainers deserve to live and work in peace. ICE out!

You know I don’t want to watch a recorded video from Platner. I won’t watch it. Maybe I’ll read a transcript. I might watch a live announcement just to get a feel for his body language, but I have no interest in what he has to say anymore. He’s done enough damage. #MePolitics

Of the issues hurting people (cost of food, gas, healthcare, housing, attacks on democracy, voting, immigration, science, etc.), the destruction of live music is low on the list. I strongly believe artists should be paid for their work, but…this guy has a national platform for the Senate right now.

Corporations like Live Nation are jacking up prices, screwing over artists, and slowly ruining live music. Break up Live Nation.

WTH?!?!? Forced to take abortion pills. I just don't get it. "In a court filing, Louisiana's attorney general and a woman who says she was coerced into taking abortion pills requested that the FDA rules be rolled back to when the pills were allowed to be prescribed and dispensed only in person."

Just in: A federal appeals court has restricted access to one of the most common means of abortion in the U.S. by blocking the mailing of mifepristone.

Apparently they are using a different number system.

It just gets worse by the day over here for women. Can we please just shut it all down now?

Hell yah! We have some amazing candidates here in Maine for DA and Governor. If the Senate primary gets you down, put some energy into these crucial races. We happen to have some amazing women running.

Just a reminder that there are other races besides the Senate primary. In Cumberland County, here’s one candidate I think deserves my vote in this primary. (And other people think so as well, check out her endorsements on her campaign website) #MePolitics sartoris4da.me

Who doesn’t like a nice prime number like 8647? The 1077th prime number. It is also noted as the only 4-digit prime that is 2 less than a square number (8649=932) and 1 more than a triangular number.

Here they’re saying, the quiet part out loud. They really can’t tolerate the fact that Black people have been voting at high rates.

Kevin Morris@kevintmorris.bsky.social · 4mo ago

I am unspeakably angry about this turnout gap figure, and it gives insight into the whole ballgame for gutting the VRA. Alito points out that Black turnout exceeded White turnout twice in 5 elections. The argument is garbage 1/x

“We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of some people can get away with anything.”

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Today, Pamela Jo Bondi, our most recent head of the Department of Justice, is blithely ignoring a valid, legal subpoena requiring her to testify before Congress. We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of some people can get away with anything.

Treat the molecular underpinnings of the cancer and not the tumor type. Stop throwing the same 50 year old drugs at people. It’s worth a shot or two, especially if you’ve exhausted your options.

My husband’s chemotherapy sessions are over a $100,000 each. He gets chemotherapy every 2 weeks for the remainder of his life. That’s just chemo. Not doc visits, scans, surgeries, radiation…I don’t know what kind of cancer can be covered by a Door Dash driver’s tips not being taxed.

Bradley P. Moss@bradmossesq.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Look, I’m sure she is a nice lady who found some financial benefit to the tax cut on her tips but please don’t insult my intelligence by suggesting that she was suddenly able to cover CANCER TREATMENTS with the money she saved on tips.

After paying my enormous heating oil bill, I’ve decided to wear snow pants, long underwear and my puffiest jacket from October til Summer. Yikes. 😱

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.

Some things never change.

Light projections done during the lunatic’s first term. Half the country voted for more of this total bullshit. Congress is busy being on vacation. No words left.

25th Amendment Now

It would not hurt if you called your GOP MoCs to tell them they are legally complicit with the war crimes Trump is committing. Might not prevent armageddon, but couldn't hurt. (202) 224-3121

Congress could stop all of this right now

Iran War Live Updates: Trump Issues Grave Threats as Hormuz Deadline Draws Closer www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

Anyone else feeling angry that Congress is failing? I’m talking anger targeted at both sides. I hate to say it but there it is. What have the Dems done today to intervene in the mad king’s plans to blow a country back to the stone ages? Or are they on vacation too? Yes, I’m cranky today.

March is #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth! It is the 2nd deadliest cancer yet it has no dedicated funding. Colorectal cancer often has NO symptoms. Make a plan to get screened beginning at age 45, sooner if you have symptoms and/or a family history. #EnoughCRC Projection in Westbrook Maine

Is Platner the ‘progressive’ Senator for you? I am done giving passes to candidates,especially men who support Republican Senators that want to take birth control away. Perhaps Platner should find some real progressive women in the Senate to hitch his wagon to.

Henry @henrythedog.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Graham Platner's favorite Republican everyone.

Cancer patients shouldn’t be worrying about financial costs of their treatments. The pharmacy cost for a dose of 1( of 5) of my husband’s chemo drugs is $48,000. The administrative costs brings it close to $75,000. Cancer patients don’t deserve this. They should be focused on enduring treatment.

I imagine that ultimately he’s going to win some of his appeals, but he does not need the stress right now.
