I would like to invite @sanders.senate.gov and/or @governorwalz.mn.gov to come to Maine's 2nd District to hold a town hall meeting. Our Congressional Representative, Jared Golden (D?--his voting record speaks for itself), is highly unlikely to meet with constituents, but he needs to hear from us.

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

Buried below: since the accusations surfaced against this guy, at least a dozen (!) Dallas area pastors were also accused; and this guy was appointed by Greg Abbott to a task force on barring transgender people from bathrooms b/c of the threat to children. #notadragqueen

I just heard that @joyannreid.bsky.social had her show canceled by MSNBC. This is devastating news!!! Her voice, and the voices of her guests, are indispensable. What a loss, but not surprising right now. Likely the first of many such moves.

So, my thought was, maybe we're at the point where some white folks are ready to back up the cement mixer and start filling in the multi-cultural "pool" that we call American democracy rather than let black and brown people, LGBTQ+ folks, Jews, Muslims, and cis white women have any part of it. 3/end

Been thinking a lot lately about Heather McGhee's superb book, The Sum of Us. She begins with a story that serves as the template for the rest of the book: (over)simply put, white folks will fill in a public pool so that no one can use it, rather than integrate it. 1/
