Joining the nationwide movement to PERMANENTLY boycott the billionaire media. Delete all the accounts…Meta, Google, all of them! There are great alternatives like this place that can fill the void.

Dirty Water. Overcrowded. No Lawyers. Rotten Food. No Beds. No Medicine. Filth. Lights on 24/7. Beatings.

Mainers put this public message on their bodies on April 25, 2026: "No ICE Prisons. Ever."

Protest with us, Saturdays at noon in Rockland's Chapman Park.

Peter Jenks is the Change Candidate for Maine’s 43rd House District.

He’s a pragmatic progressive standing against Christian nationalism on one end and against small-scale status-quo mediocrity and managed decline on the other.

He’s earned 43’s vote and trust.

Maine has a history of badass women in government — and here’s another. She’s *earned* our respect & vote.

Here’s the recipe:
- Democracy, full stop
- Double-down on the New Deal
- Care about everyone & everyone’s environment
- Prioritize small business
- Clarity is kindness in communication
I’m the only candidate with the experience standing up to Trump and the lived experience to make Maine the most affordable state in the nation.

Those of us in the pro-democracy movement can and should hold both of these positions.

1. We unequivocally reject violence.

2. We will unequivocally oppose efforts by this administration to use last night as an excuse to try to suppress criticism and criminalize dissent.

Final take: Some of these folks would make a GREAT Senator :)
Also, @shennabellows.bsky.social is the clear choice for me. Her background, experience, & spine will make her a phenomenal governor.

She’s the clear “pro-democracy” candidate, but has a robust & bold economic plan that addresses issues for working people & the high-tech industries of the future.

My (gay) marriage (10 years almost) has survived and thrived for 2.5x the span of the Confederacy (4 years). The new reconstruction is what I’m living for. Gay men will survive.

Spring is coming to America and first light is in Maine. Democracy will survive. A government of, by, and for the people will not perish from this continent.

This is a bloom from a fig tree, formerly thought dead or dying, which is now blooming for the first time in a generation.

Anyone who knows anything about Doug Wilson knows that Trump’s insane ass attacks on the Pope are 100% a result of Pete Hegseth telling the President that the Pope is the Antichrist.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion.

If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over.

And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

“Trump’s DOJ tells Trump he can hold onto government docs when he leaves office, contrary to Watergate-era law…

The DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel – which gives legal advice to the executive branch – issued an opinion Thursday that said the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional.”

Rural Anti-Fascists will save the country — peacefully and powerfully
"The third No Kings protests were an unmistakable display of political force..."

"Two-thirds of participants live in suburban, small town or rural areas, a 40% increase over last time in protesters from outside big cities..."

Red flare for Trump: 'No Kings' rallies a show of political force
With a Revolutionary-era slogan, the protests had an historic geographical reach across the country. What does that mean for November?

Our rights come from God (or the collective Us, if you’re not a fan of deities)— not Republicans.

Under the 14th Amendment, every person in this country has equal protection under the law.

Come and take it.
