I really didn't want to have to live through Star Trek flashbacks. But here we are.

Well, I didn't expect Maine to be the first state Trump threatened like this. The moment is here, and Maine stands strong. Again. Proud of my adopted home state. Proud of its history, its values, and its integrity. I think Joshua Chamberlain and Margaret Chase Smith would be proud, too. Dirigo!

"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.' A child successfully inoculated against measles doesn’t fall sick with that condition, doesn’t miss school, doesn’t go to the hospital. They don’t suffer life-changing complications. They don’t die prematurely."

Contrary to popular belief, Democrats aren't powerless right now. There are parliamentary guerrilla tactics that Senate Democrats can use to slow, stall, and obstruct MAGA at every turn: indivisible.org/reso...

Big picture: Susan Collins has been in the Senate 28 years. She's cast the tie-breaking vote FOR Republicans dozens of times (some examples below) but to my knowledge never been the tie-breaking vote AGAINST a GOP nominee. I'm no statistician but that seems like a meaningful pattern. #MEpolitics

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

Nobody's life has gotten better since this awful man took power. And things are about to get that much worse once his tariffs hit and prices of things from groceries to cars start to rise.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Day one: Elon Musk is openly bringing a Nazi salute back and Trump supporters are super into it. apnews.com/article/musk...

Anyone who says this was NOT a Nazi salute can — with all due respect — fuck off.

A Nazi salute on Day 1. With just enough slight variation that there is potential wiggle room for plausible deniability. The Overton Window already includes full-on fascism. What a bunch of losers.

Trans people exist. They are some of the loveliest, most resilient people I know. They don't deserve the shit that is coming. I will respect your pronouns, support your work, and celebrate your successes.

Facts matter. Real facts, not "it feels right and someone on a podcast sounded reasonable when they said it." Facts that are quantified, measured, analyzed. Your uninformed "facts" do not equate to reality. I will not argue with you if you bring your ignorance to a fact-fight.

Knowledge is cool. (Actual, factual, reality-based knowledge).
