Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

If you’re reading my writing, odds are you already know most of what King spoke about. What you may not fully realize is that your voice matters. Your letters, your phone calls, your presence—they make a difference.

im sorry to be so divisive and partisan but i dont think the government should be inventing a criminal history out of thin air to justify sending someone to a concentration camp in a foreign country

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

The following is a response to a small local newspaper published in the town where my family farm is located. You may have seen that the Fort Fairfield Journal recently ran an ad for a book burning by a well-known neo-Nazi.

If you feel the need to bash rural people, I’m gonna ask how many rural doors you knocked. I’m gonna ask how many calls you made to rural people. I’m going to ask how many rural democratic candidates you supported. Because if you’re out here running your mouth, I assume you did the work like I did.

Is it just me or was Keanu Reeves' performance in Sonic 3 a bit wooden?

"The very system that sustains communities—local farms, local economies, and local food production—could be jeopardized, all in the name of saving a few dollars for a select few. This isn’t just about food; it’s about who controls the resources that sustain us." #maine #USDA

Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

Sometimes I have really stressful dreams. Often, after I wake from these dreams, I will find my two little grey cats sleeping on either side of me. Each tucked in closely. Thats it. I just like that feeling. hashtag cats.

This is what I looked like when a beloved pubic school coach threw a basketball at my head as hard as he could because I laughed when he missed a basket.

You know, Canadians don't HAVE to be nice to us. It's not their job to pat those of us who voted for Harris/Walz on the head and say "you're OK." I don't get the purpose of "we're the GOOD Americans" energy. Same folks don't care about perception when we're wreaking havoc across the Global South.

Um, actually "Fuck off" is only PG-13, for example it was allowed in X-MEN FIRST CLASS. If she said it twice it would be R-Rated but definitely not X-Rated. This is why people don't trust the media

My partner is a marine engineer on a research vessel. His ship uses NOAA for many things that directly impact his safety while in deep ocean waters. Please, if you can today, contact your reps and demand NOAA be saved as it is vital to the wellbeing of all of us and was already understaffed.

Not sure what happened to the new, improved WaPo page. Maybe Bezos didn’t ask for same-day shipping.

Expecting anyone to reach a point of accountability while actively in crisis has never gotten me the results I've been looking for. Like, do what you want, but smugness looks gross on everyone who wears it <3
