#Maine farmers rally with tractor drive-in to protest Trump ag cuts: www.mainepublic.org/politics/202...

Trump gets the yips. Phones, other electronics exempt from new tariffs, Trump administration says

This is insane! Heavy snow on April 8. But then so is everything else going on including Trump’s massive tariffs and his assault on democracy.

Fun fact: eight in ten married women have changed their surname which means they don’t have a birth certificate that matches their current legal name. Over 69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Act. The GOP is trying to silence women across the country. #HandsOffHerVote

Augusta Maine protest.

You can be completely logical and idiotic at the same time. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Democrats slam intel chiefs over Trump team’s Signal leak of war plans. But… “Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who has challenged the administration on certain issues, called in sick Tuesday.”

Pete Hegseth’s morning routine just dropped.

I rarely tell people to throw their devices into the sea, but you should throw your Amazon Echo into the sea. www.wired.com/story/everyt...

No, the man is a liar.

Obviously the wrong gender. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/u...

Ha ha!!! People in Maine’s Aroostook County on the border must have thoughts. With family in New Brunswick or Québec, possibly they have a nuanced view of such craziness.

Wawa! Takes me back to my college days.

This list of alt accounts may prove to be invaluable during the massive layoffs and destructions of our federal agencies which is already underway, with more predicted. We are in a Constitutional crisis folks. All bets are off. BE PREPARED.

Beware the Ides of March. Or close enough.

And so it continues…. Support your federal workers!

Don’t you get a federal paycheck?

Sick. Sick. Sick.

Why do Republicans revel in taking healthcare away from their constituents? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...

A very intelligent phone!!! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/t...

🔥🔥👊🔥🔥

Go Janet. Glad you are fighting back.

Go, Janet.

Unfortunately most people in this country lack the civic and history education that provides context to these acts.

Are you kidding??? Obviously NOTHING is sacrosanct. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/n...

Hmmm

Conflict of interest? 😉

Compliments of 🟠. Geauga County, Ohio, YMCA….

Not “cost-cutting”. Actually, a takeover of the federal goverment outside color of law.

So offensive. The man is dangerous.

Outrageous. 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses and dentists terminated by DOGE. Will have a devstating effect on the health of Native Americans.

You are a FELON!!!!

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

We just purchased new hats in Quebec embroidered “Canada is not for sale.” It is mortifying to listen to this drivel.

What did Ds do today, you ask? Here’s a quick list for 2/13/25. What did the Rs do to make your life easier? #PeopleOverProfits

UVA has some very good librarians

Speaking out.

Some people have integrity. Where are our senators?

This is a highly qualified, conservative public servant we just lost: Harvard, Yale, Scalia clerk, and Federalist Society. This Admin will hemorrhage talented people. US Attorney’s Offices should be about justice not political favors. It’s a shame. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

Make America dumb again?

Being a governor wasn’t enough. Obviously she wants to be Barbie too.

As one of the female GENDER I feel targeted by Trump and Musk’s bros.

Policies of the first Trump admin are playing out in parallel with today's rampage across govt. In a decision under the USMCA, a dispute panel ruled against Mexico’s policies promoting sustainability, Indigenous rights, and pesticide-free tortillas #trade #USMCA #GMO www.iatp.org/usmca-underc...
