Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Democrats under FDR swept into power, passed Social Security, rebuilt the economy, protected unions, and won a working-class majority for a generation.

Modern Democratic leaders can't even raise the minimum wage.

With our next majority let's pass Medicare for All. For starters.

Folks, Primaries are coming up FAST.

Make sure that you are registered to vote and have any I.D. you may need to do so, make a plan to go vote, and...

DO YOUR RESEARCH. Look for the most left-leaning candidates you can support, NOT some weak ass center-left corpo suit like Schumer.

Anti-choice, pro-Trump and anti-LGBTQ super PAC vows to spend $42,000,000 to elect Susan Collins.

There's a reason the folks who run/fund the Republican party are so thirsty to keep Susan Collins in DC...and pragmatic centrism isn't it. (Her 96% vote-with-Trump score might be a hint!) #MEpolitics
Susan Collins is bought and paid for. Everyone knows it.

In 365 days of Trump:

- he doubled his family’s net worth
- billionaires got $1.5 trillion richer
- his 20 wealthiest political donors got ~$380 billion richer

while…

Food prices ⬆️
Utilities ⬆️
Healthcare ⬆️
Housing ⬆️

Just in case you didn’t understand the scam yet.

Seems like a problem that Portland Press Herald's letters page provides a more accurate portrayal of Susan Collins than its news pages?

At least folks are catching on. #MEpolitics

ICE is a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanish in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer means anything. The knock on the door is the sentence.

MAINERS: We know ICE/CBP has played like they're from Maine Care to knock on doors in Portland, hoping the door will be opened or they'll be invited in.

Here's another tactic ICE uses in Minnesota to get folks outside.

Local police whining about protesters yelling at them is not how you get protesters on your side. Actually, standing up for people being brutalized by ICE would go a long way to improve relations. Holding rogue agents accountable would be great.

Blaming scared citizens for their rhetoric isn't it.

To anyone who lives in the Oklahoma City area be advised that the city council will consider approving an ICE facility on Tuesday the 20th at 8:30 AM. The facility is near a majority Hispanic school in a Hispanic neighborhood. ICE cannot be allowed to terrorize these people. Show up to protest.

MLK:

"The Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not...the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice...who constantly says: 'I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods.'" #MEpolitics

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people.

Trumpism is fascism.

There are a few things it'll be hard to defeat Susan Collins without doing.

One of them is to convince Mainers that a) senator-for-29-years Collins bears meaningful responsibility for this kinda stuff and b) a bunch of fire dept grants and ribbon cuttings don't balance out the ledger #MEpolitis

I wish people would understand that fascism won't be defeated in a day. This is a long fight. We're fighting a fascist takeover propped up by global billionaires, Russia, our own media and our own government. And we have to do it without going to war with the most advanced military force on earth.
