Midcoast Mainers! I'm looking for a local illustrator (ink/watercolor) for a children's book. If you are one or have any suggestions, please DM me. Thanks.

I'd love to see college students across the country march on their campuses demanding the immediate sitting down of Greek organizations. They bring NOTHING to a university setting that outweighs the damage they inflict.

It was a rough week, but this finally bloomed.

September 26th. First Christmas commercial I've seen. Walmart. Is this a record?

NYT has now independently corroborated Ha'aretz's reporting.

Trump regime has killed at least 234 people by bombing boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean since last September. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. This is a danger to us all.

Shot in the back. No criminal record.

In sworn testimony, the Treasury Department says it hasn't seen the money from Venezuela, and doesn't know where it's gone. Time to figure out who's pocketing it. In an overall kleptocracy, this may well be the most brazen act of embezzlement so far. www.ft.com/content/0588...

This is why they wanted Pentagon reporters to sign an oath promising to seek approval before publishing anything. They wanted to lie without pushback. www.aljazeera.com/features/202...

You should read Alito’s dissent. It’s unhinged.

9/11 victim Michael Massaroli’s son: "You do my dad's legacy & the legacy of all victims no honor using this tragedy to spread hate. I've had to spend 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers & sisters, people who don't look like them."

“The administration wrote to several grantees working on maternal health that while ‘maternal and infant health are important issues,’ their work ‘does not advance minority health with regards to OMH’s current priority areas.’” we don’t loathe these people enough.

Gerry Baker's essay on how America lost its way after 9/11 is a remarkably astute set of observations taking us from the Iraq War to the present military misadventures—read it all. "The Iraq war was not only an ill-conceived and ill-executed misadventure. It not only diverted attention and resources

They weren't HIS cherry trees. They weren't HIS willows. They aren't HIS national parks. It wasn't HIS rose garden. It's not HIS house. It's not HIS money. The war is HIS. The economy is HIS. The food poisoning is HIS. The measles are HIS. The corruption, crime and treason. All HIS.

Everything I'm seeing is awful. What good news do you have to share? Anyone? 😩

Absolute insanity. And if you try to do something about it they call you a communist.

You’re not alarmed enough 🚨

It is not a liberal media. It is a corporate media.

Susan Collins, will you join us at one our three town halls this week? It'd be your first public town hall in 25 years.

Ten people who were deported and taken to #Liberia this month described a harrowing journey that included months in detention in the U.S. before being sent to nations where they had no ties. All of them said they experienced or witnessed what they described as #abusive or violent treatment by #ICE.

Russell Vought has been deleting some of your comments on the proposed OMB rule to politicize grantmaking. Particularly ones that mention him by name and that his daughter was treated for CF with an NIH-funded therapeutic.

He'd better keep her name out of his mouth.

What a heartbreak. There will never be another like Dolly.

PUBLIC OPPOSITION TO DATA CENTERS IS NON-PARTISAN Sherrod Brown is putting Jon Husted’s record on blast. Husted was the point man as data centers poured in, benefiting from billions in tax breaks while communities were left dealing with higher electricity costs.

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

New in PN: DHS's abuse of power in Minnesota was even worse than we knew "When the Department of Justice indicted 15 Minnesotans earlier this summer, it was painfully clear that this was a cobbled-together mess, a transparent attempt to criminalize dissent. But boy, we didn’t know the half of it."

📌So, MSM, are you even living in the same country we are??? How is it the most serious homegrown attack on America since the Civil War STILL isn’t grabbing every headline, every day??? Because here’s the thing, you self-important clowns, if this attack continues apace, we are done. DO YOUR JOBS.

So, I finally did a TED talk, and it got released today. I seem to have been quite intense, but I'm grateful they left in my Trump joke. www.ted.com/talks/bill_m...

A couple of 20-something men in a car with Texas license plates visited our door last night, canvassing for Susan Collins. From Texas. In Maine. That's gonna go over like a lead balloon for Mainers.

Reupping this for no reason in particular.

OMG! Fauci tried to get the guy who mismanaged the Covid pandemic—leading to the avoidable deaths of tens of thousands of Americans—to slow the spread. Hang him!

Fauci accuses Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession with calling for my prosecution" and of making "repeated slanderous comments," then says "although it pains me to do so... under advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment to refrain from answering your questions."

I just signed a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social petition: Say "NO" to EPA Guidance on PFAS in Sludge. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/sa...

It’s crazy to me this isn’t a daily refrain from Democrats.

Palestinians say settler violence and military raids are bringing them to breaking point reut.rs/4vXSYhf

This is just the beginning, hint of how awful this will all be. Capitalism did this.

Water is often a scarce commodity in Nairobi's largest slum. The only source may be a local cartel — and with that comes the risk of sexual threats and attacks. n.pr/4vJPOxr

What's the difference between Iran and Vietnam? President bonespurs had a way to get out of Vietnam.

Representatives for Taylor Farms called the White House to try to delay a recall tied to one of the largest foodborne illness outbreaks in U.S. history www.wsj.com/health/taylo...

Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients. Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages. How is this not a bigger scandal?
