I just watched Netflix Becoming about #MichelleObama. It was manna for the spiritπŸ€—. It was a hard day - I got triggered by all the hate, inhumanity, & criminality of the despotic regime. "Becoming" reminded me of it was like to have REAL leaders with decency, love, & honor in the White House.

Love this! Thank you @moreperfectunion.bsky.social

Waaah!!! Society deserves full accountability from EVERYONE who commits crimes and when we falter on this basic tenet of our social contract, we are all harmed. It's not punishment or retribution, just requiring people to take responsibility for their transgressions. Simple fairness.

Oops. Meant 1/3 above...

2/3: The Trump regime wants to introduce prior authorization- one of the most hated aspects of private insurance – to Medicare and they β€˜re outsourcing those life-challenging authorization decisions to unproven AI companies.

Please call your senators & Congressional reps
ASAP to demand that they stop AI- powered Medicare service rejections and use the upcoming federal budget fight to restore health care funding.

Glad the info helps. Is Troy Jackson also doing old school contributions via check? Where in Maine are you? I'm midcoast...

I haven't yet investigated the fine print on this other organization because I may go 'old school' and simply send in a monthly donation check. Hope this helps in your decision.

Hi Betsy,
Here's the response I got from the campaign about donations. You can use this link (not ActBlue) secure.demsgive.org/donate/graha... or send a check to Graham for Maine, PO Box 574, Blue Hill, ME 04614

Let's hope that, because of protests like this, we change the arc of our future from a dystopian Handmaiden's Tale hellscape to one where women have full rights and sovereignty over their bodies, their lives, and help create a bright future for all people and the planet.

I agree and sent an email to their campaign this morning. I will post what I find out. I suggested that their campaign find a way to circumvent ActBlue and lead the way into a new paradigm. They support the inept "business-as -usual" practices that make the Dem party impotent and weak.

Hey all - it's been a while. I'm listening to Graham Platner right now and am fired up. He's got my vote and I plan to volunteer to help him defeat Susan Collins. Want inspiration? Watch this: www.youtube.com/live/uOfE0vp...

I just saw this protest sign from Almeida CA on @rbhubbell.bsky.social's Substack this morning. This is a Project 2026 that I fully support ✊. Focus on sign in upper left. #indivisible #fiftyfiftyone #NoKings

What is so disgusting about this is that these same Capitol police were being beaten and mistreated by REAL threats on Jan 6. It looks like the heroes of 1/6 have been replaced by bullies and thugs who seem gleeful to arrest and cuff an 80 yr old veteran. What a shame.

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (πŸŽ₯ @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

So proud of Maine's fantastic senator, @senangusking.bsky.social and was privileged to tell him in person at the protest in Freeport this morning 🀩! He's a King I support- a true hero with integrity and honor in these tough times. #indivisible #nokings (except Angus!) #June14 #wearetheflood #resist
