She's got a backbone and brains! Something that the members of this regime, including dear leader, the GQPs in congress and even some of the Dems in congress, sorely lack! Good for her and her constituents! Wish the rest of the states have someone who stands up for those who voted for them.
Dear Maine: Canada 🇨🇦 respects your sovereignty and cordially invites you to consider joining our functioning federal system as the eleventh province. Let’s talk! 💚
This quote is not real. While the sentiment is admirable, this would be illegal. Governor Mills did not say this. Please take down this post, it's disinformation.
So clueless. My guess is this was going to be his "big surprise" for the blue states, cutting federal funding. Just imagine the hole in the federal budget without the taxes from states like California, if he tries it.
I just set up a monthly donation to https://u24.gov.ua Ukraine to support land mine removal.
Since our government is siding w/ fcking North Korea and Russia, I want to let Ukraine 🇺🇦 know that most Americans support them in their fight. Trump’s government does not represent me!
She may not of said it…but we all fill out a W-4 form for federal taxes to be taken out, you can claim yourself exempt, or increase the number of dependents so less tax is taken out for federal funds. It doesn’t excuse you from paying taxes in the end, pay as little as you can without penalty.
Where is this from, please? I cannot find a reliable source reporting this and this looks like something from @occupydemocrats.bsky.social which is a questionable source.
I have waited for ONE GOVERNOR to say this! Here in NJ, we pay about double what we get back. I say let’s keep our money and lower our real estate taxes!
Bravo Governor. The blueprint for all states that Trump threatens to withhold funding (including FEMA) from. The unified blue states, especially CA which contributes tens of billions more than they receive would bring Musk/Trump to their knees.
Go Maine and Gov. #Mills
Please speak up #California. Governor #Newsom, Senators #Padilla and #Schiff my US Rep in the House #Brownley. Please lock arms with #Maine. The time is now to build a united front against those who are trying to install #authoritarian regime run by #thieves.
This is how you deal with a want to be authoritarian POS so called President. His mission from Putin is to destroy our democracy. It’s all out in the open now. We the people and these governors that are not MAGA loyalist must fight back.
“No President can withhold Federal funding authorized and appropriated by Congress and paid for by Maine taxpayers in an attempt to coerce someone into compliance with his will. It is a violation of our Constitution and of our laws, which I took an oath to uphold”
All Blue States need to follow Maine's lead on this. We will absolutely be screwed out of our own money by the Trump Regime b/c we didn't vote for him. At this point, I don't care if it's legal or not - the GOP left such quaint concepts on the dust on Jan 20. Let them fund fascism on their own.
People from Maine are very, very tough, they get 6' feet of snow & more in one storm, and they deal with it. They live rather hard rural lives. They are nearly feral people. I sincerely, and stongly advise AGAINST fucking with them.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social Well?? We need to do the same! I don't feel like paying Fed taxes only to have Musk and Trump take them for themselves. Plus, where is the FEMA aid for the dreadful Southern California fires?
Unfortunately, this is what it is going to take. People are going to have to pour into the streets and stop this administration and the GQP supporters that allow it.
Please remove this post. She is a superstar governor, but there is no evidence that I, nor others, can find that she talks about withholding taxes. Please help keep Bluesky a place for the truth, not disinformation like the Dead Bird has become. Thanks!

Bluesky is meant to be where this sort of thing is quickly called out and stopped.
Just goes to show that even left-leaning social media platforms are vulnerable to spreading misinformation, as well.
Perhaps not as prone as the other places, but it still happens because [human mature].
NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.
That's a sure way to create an effective resistance trend.
NUMBERS are what matters MOST!
Next EMOTION & Publicity!
Go.
So happy to have a Mainer make up proud. 😁
Okurrrr
Sooo stop withholding isnt cutting funds to fed and endangers workers by giving them a big bill at eoy.
“Not putting up with his bullshit” should be the message, loud and clear!!
Since our government is siding w/ fcking North Korea and Russia, I want to let Ukraine 🇺🇦 know that most Americans support them in their fight. Trump’s government does not represent me!

Provide a real source please
This is the way to go. No aid after the LA fires? Fuck
Them
No "Ooh we'll write a strongly worded letter 'mr trump pls dont do this ;c'. No empty speeches.
Clear direct, and firm statements.
'You do this, you lose that.'
This is not true.
No taxation for Russian Occupation!

Maine and the east coast of Canada 🇨🇦 are like brother and sister..
