Welp, here it is: maybe the funniest thing we've ever done, in its entirety.

these people worship the devil

Donald Trump has heard the wails and lamentations of all the Rust Belt communities left behind by neoliberalism, and he has a message for them: fuck you and die

@aobrien2024.bsky.social is a must read on the Newburgh ballots, #mepolitics tweeps. (I also recommend my latest Substack post on deception by the No on 1 campaign, which has a section on how they're misleadingly using the situation. amyfried.substack.com/p/misinforma...)

Amazon Suggests Stolen Ballots Placed in Box After Delivery And Steve Robinson bends over backwards to defend his source's innocence.

Amazon believes the stolen ballots were not placed in the box when they were packed at the warehouse or in the delivery network. Steve Robinson bends over backwards to defend his source. My latest on AmazonBallotgate.

Civil liberties advocates raise alarm over use of Flock cameras By Andy O’Brien On September 16, the Sanford City Council voted 4-3 to move forward with a contract with Georgia-based security company Flock Safety for a free, 60-day trial of its cloud Automatic Lic...

The City of Sanford is installing cloud Automatic License Plate Reader cameras, which scan every car that goes through the downtown & uploads the data to a national database that can be accessed by ICE & other law enforcement across the country. www.amjamboafrica.com/civil-libert...

250 Missing Ballots in Ellsworth, 250 Turn Up in Newburgh? The saga of the Mystery of the Stolen Ballots continues.

Thanks to @aobrien2024.bsky.social for laying out the facts. #MEpolitics

Good question! And why didn’t that person immediately report it to law enforcement or the SoS Elections Division or a TV station? They went to a Republican politician & the Maine Wire instead.

250 Missing Ballots in Ellsworth, 250 Turn Up in Newburgh? The saga of the Mystery of the Stolen Ballots continues.

Here is my recap of Secretary of State Shenna Bellow's press conference today on the stolen ballots and the attempt by Sen. Susan Collins to smear Bellows over the theft and use it to cast doubt on the integrity of our election system.

The ballots have been authenticated by election officials which is why I think someone got from a municipality & dropped them in the box.

Great piece. Thank you @aobrien2024.bsky.social for explaining (among other things) why that stack of ballots wouldn’t do anyone any good anyway.

The Maine Wire, Ballotgate & Stochastic Terrorism In the past few days I have been swamped by right-wing trolls sending me threats and trying to get me fired from my job because I have questioned the narrative of the Maine Wire’s story Maine Woman Di...

I wrote a piece about the weird case of the stolen Maine ballots in an Amazon box & former free speech warrior Steve Robinson's war on free speech.

Steve Robinson at the Maine Wire doxxed the Newburgh woman who reported that ballots were allegedly delivered to her in an Amazon box by posting a photo of the box with the her name & address on it after he promised to protect her identity. But sure blame the “union thug!” 🤣

So a Republican woman in Newburgh claims she received this Amazon box, which had clearly been opened & taped back up, full of blank ballots & immediately reported it to the Maine Wire & won’t talk to any other news outlets. Right before we vote on a GOP voter suppression referendum. 🤔

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Colby College had to evacuate today due to a bomb threat after Leonard Leo’s Maine Wire, Libs of Tik Tok & Fox News sensationalized the defacing of some Republican flyers on campus.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

I was just at our initial local training in Camden yesterday and it was pretty inspiring. Lots of people. There was a big emphasis on deep canvassing and focusing on canvassing against Question 1in the first phase.

It's so ubiquitous now I just think guys think it's edgy and cool. I don't know why they included that in the story, but it's rare for local reporters to really understand this kind of stuff.

Republicans can't stop trying to restrict our right to vote.

More details about Brooks’ bigoted behavior from @bywayofplymouth.bsky.social here: bywayofplymouth.noblogs.org/post/2025/09...

Below is a statement from Fox Island Electric Cooperative defending its white nationalist employee. And here is the employee giving what appears to be a Roman salute while climbing a utility pole. His bio in Neo Nazi telegram chats is “Nate Higgers”

This thread provides more details about white nationalist organizer Brandon Brooks of Vinalhaven & his rabidly bigoted ideology.

NEW: Susan Collins casts tie-breaking vote to confirm to the Federal Reserve Board a MAGA stalwart WHO HAS VOWED TO KEEP HIS WHITE HOUSE JOB while on the Fed. #MEpolitics

we are in a reverse SJW era

This guy “Slevin” is the one who has been putting up Nazi flyers in Belfast (Me.). All I know is he’s local, communicates with Blood Tribe (Hammer the Springfield Nazi) and complains that he can’t find women to date. Sad! 😔

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

We’ve been living through 72 nonstop hours of this exact tweet
