When Janet Mills, awesome Gov. of Maine stood up to Trump bullying- “I’ll see you in court”. I felt so heartened. She reminds us all - particularly our cowering GOP lawmakers, that we can & must refuse to follow unlawful, unconstitutional or immoral orders. Call the ACLU. See him in court. 🇺🇸 - ThreadSky

The only thing that we have in our favor is brave governors. That is what Germany, Venezuela or Russia didn’t had and that is going to make the difference.

Those who are reading this: Please consider sending her a thank you card. She is the governor of Maine.

The longer Trump remains unchecked to do anything he wants, the bolder he will become and the greater the propensity he will commit atrocities.

I agree. Every Democrat in a leadership position needs to keep fighting Trump constantly. She definitely is a hero!

phan-878.bsky.social•4 hours ago

I truly wish when Trump said it would be an easy case to win Mills had said "you didn't do so well in court the last time Felon".

dawnn-stone.bsky.social•8 hours ago

I also felt how alone she must have felt when none of the other Governors seemed to support her. This bully must be stopped somehow.

And then he said Maine would not see any federal money. I hate this man with a passion.

It was so great to see someone stand up to him for a change. He was so disrespectful to her. What a nasty man.

His shock was so funny to me. He kind of stumbled and got so defensive.. blahhh well.. I'll see you in court.. blahbeep.. that'll be an easy win. Grrrr you're done in politics... grrr ketchup

All praise to Janet Mills, but the genders issue is DOA with voters. That much is proven. The Democratic Party must focus on economic fairness, government integrity, and sane international relations issues.

sandyp.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Donate to the ACLU please. They are our strongest hope cuz Congress surely isn’t doing anything to help us

ike55.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Absolutely! But...Where were the other Democratic governors? Were they cowering like the White House Press Corps, which doesn’t support the AP?

He singled out a female Governor, threatened her, and everyone else just sat on their hands.

Fight back!

Women are going to have to clean up the mess. Again.

splhcb.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Notice that it's always the women (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Liz Cheney, Elizabeth Warren, among others) who stand up to Trump. That tells me who actually have the big dicks.

When he commented that she'd lose her elected position, I would have loved to hear her say, "No problem, I didn't run for office to stay out of jail."

darlenenonumber.bsky.social•7 hours ago

That would have been the perfect comeback.

Imagine if dozens of other people in the room in that moment had STOOD UP WITH HER.

Imagine if anyone had stood with her.

mommieod24.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Well said, Mia. There are lots of good folks out there challenging him on all fronts. Gov. Mills is a hero. Trump really hates it when anyone calls him out - especially a woman!

Wasn’t that great? I watched it over and over again just to look at his face! He was seething!!

She has had a LOT of practice.

She was AG when Paul LePage was governor. They despised each other, because LePage thought he could bully her, too.

He didn't. She beat him in a landslide election-twice.

She’s a warrior. She’s stronger and smarter and she’s a true leader. He will never be at her level. She’s at a level that he can never reach. Not even by cheating. The energy of the true and genuine person and the power of the heart and spirit are unmatched. She is victorious. 🙏🏻💜

Why is it only ever women showing some balls in this fight? Not a problem for me. But shows how DEI helps losers like Trump evade accountability: spineless yes men all over the right.

We now have 6 democratic leaders doing something more than vanilla statements.

We need 6000

chubbyavocado.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Mills, Hochul, Pritzker, Crockett, Pressley, Murphy, Warren, Raskin, Blue State AGs are all doing yeoman’s work. They, the courts and huge peaceful protests are all part of the solution.

veryvaluable.bsky.social•7 hours ago

I think anyone who contemplates suing DOGE or anyone else in this REGIME knows they could face ten of the best (MAGA) attorneys money can buy.

So far we’ve had several judges rule in our favor.

Because logic, the rule of law and the Constitution still exist, we need to fight whenever possible.
