Evangelicalism can excuse predatory behavior, and by teaching girls that they are fully responsible for men’s impulses, it shifts all the blame onto us. That’s why it produces people who, knowingly or not, make such perfect bedfellows for exploitation.

I still remember being pulled out of the tabernacle at summer camp on a 94-degree day because I was wearing a tank top that showed my shoulders. I was 14, and they told me I was “tempting my brothers in Christ.”

I’m not sure how to tell everyone this, but in Evangelical circles, young girls are treated not only as adult women, but as temptresses who must be subdued and controlled. This isn’t a side belief—it’s a foundational principle we were taught from day one.

The only thing I know about this guy is he loves running for something and lives in a 3 million dollar home in CD1.

Commentary Millions of Children and Working Americans Will Go Hungry if the Government Doesn’t Act Soon It’s the federal government’s duty to feed the hungry, even during a government shutdown. By Daniel P. Miller | ContributorOct. 31, 2025, at 4:47 p.m.

"When a government stops feeding people – and even stops counting who’s hungry – that’s not policy. It’s neglect."

~ Daniel P. Miller, Professor at Boston University School of Social Work

My partner is a Mariner and is only home five months out of the year. His ability to vote absentee is a lifeline and an anchor for him. He cares deeply about the place we call home and wants to participate in every way he can in our community.

Nowhere near enough mention of what Q1, if passed, would do to Indigenous voting rights in Maine. I'm guilty, too, of not mentioning it enough in posting I've done around #SaveAbsenteeVoting.

It took Platner's promotion around today's Save Absentee Voting concert & rally to bring attention to it.

Jasmine Jaye (@jasminejaye) Eastport has one of the deepest natural harbors in the continental U.S. That’s a rare and valuable asset. It’s not just good for cruise ships — it’s ideal for marine research, education, sustainable f...

Before I moved to Eastport, I lived and worked in Portland for over a decade. I saw firsthand how a waterfront city can trade its soul for short-term tourism dollars — and lose its community in the process.

Photo of a tv. Onscreen a woman holds an axe with a periodic table visible behind.

Buffy is so old there were only 103 named elements, we’re at 118 now.

(Yes I pause every show that has a periodic table to see if its period accurate)

This is me.

Isn't it important to ask: who is being targeted right now? Who’s losing their rights? Who’s profiting from division and fear? And are you really helping fight authoritarianism by dehumanizing people with insults like “human garbage”? Or are you 12? Or a bot?

This is a well-funded attack on working-class people, and here you are saying, 'Those silly working-class people aren’t CRYING ENOUGH.' Many can’t protest more because they’re working multiple jobs to stay afloat. The focus should be on addressing the systemic issues they’re up against.

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?

Angus King Pulled a Paul Revere And it’s on us to hear the warning—and respond.

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

A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25 ) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"

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.

person: so what motivates you to keep going every day

me: (zero hesitation) have you ever met a cat or a dog

Inspiring! This Man Runs a Local Newspaper but Struggles with Simple Definitions of Words! An Open Letter to the Fort Fairfield Journal’s David Deschesne, Editor/Publisher

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.

No thanks, April Fools' Day. I can tell upsetting lies to my friends and family all year round.

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?
