This week has been so entirely soul-sucking and gross. Let's find ourselves again. Will you help me help Maine?

If you are angry, sad, and miss politics feeling human, do a #MaineRaising.

Do one or both of the following (and pass it on) - we make make politics kind together...
Go shopping!

Buy anything from any small business anywhere in Maine.

When you shop, use the special instructions/comments to let them know I sent you, make sure to add #MaineRaising.

Screen shot your message and share your #MaineRaising on social media to help it spread.
Want to make a teacher feel like they've gotten lucky for St. Patrick's Day?

Let's help clear some projects.

Mrs. Netzer has a donor match, needs $83 to help with Math. Can you throw $5 at this project?

Mention #MaineRaising in your after-donation note.
donorschoose.org/project/game-o…
Tight budget?

Please do *not* do a shop or donate #MaineRaising if it is beyond your means.

A RT and/or follow is an easy, free contribution to positive political action. It is a huge help if I run for Congress again.
Mrs. Netzer is funded.

Let's help Mrs. Jackson in South Paris l needs $48 to help with magnets.

Can you contribute $5 to this #MaineRaising instead of contributing to a campaign fund?

Don't forget the campaign note and to share! #representeducation
donorschoose.org/project/mighty…
Leave a message as you #cleartheprojects and #representeducation so they know how you found their project.

Showing #MaineRaising is a viable method to get exposure and power a challenger is what makes this become a trend.

Shift politics to community support and kindness.

Susan Collins voted for #S311.

You should be mad about this bill, whether you are pro-choice, pro-life, or DGAF.

This bill was written to make people angry, not make good law. I don't have the time to line by line this one, but here are highlights.

#Readthebill #mepolitics
The entire purpose of this bill was to divide people into feral pro-life or pro-choice camps...but it's actually crap law. Why you say?

A live birth is a live birth. A live birth creates the same laws for infants that apply to others.

#Readthebill
You'll hear pro-life people yelling "BUT KERMIT GOSNELL".

Yeah, exactly, he committed crimes and was found guilty. This bill creates another level of law for something that is already illegal.

It's the middle of the night and I see the #GreenNewDeal has reared its head again.

I'm befuddled about anyone getting upset about their Senator signing on (or not) since right now it's much ado about nothing.

Before you go all Marge from Pee Wee's Big Adventure, remember...1/4
This "bill" has no structure, plans, budget, scope, or y'know meat of any sort on bones that aren't even functional enough to be a mock classroom skeleton.

I wouldn't attack anyone who doesn't sign on with resounding passion, nor would I praise anyone who isn't skeptical.
2/4
I am *deeply* concerned about climate change.

I am becoming more deeply concerned that we are attaching ourselves to the bill equivalent of a mid-90s corporate anthem than actual plans to fix this while on a decade count-down clock to my children not having a future.

Domestic violence is a problem in Maine that we do not take seriously enough.

We have so many small towns. It's difficult to ask for help when the help is likely to be a friend or family member of your abuser.
Want to know what that looks like?

When you show up to a PFA and the victim is all alone, but the abuser has a gaggle of friends and family telling you if she were only nicer, a better partner, less of a flirt, then he wouldn't get so mad.

Would she do counseling to change her?
There is *so* much pressure for her to drop the PFA, often so he can hunt with his friends/family.

My biggest red flag is the abuser who asks about guns more than contact with children. They are chilling.

Note men absolutely can be victims, it's just much more frequently women.

the police civilian review board meeting hasn’t started yet, but nearly everyone here in the audience is a cop. way more than usual. weird vibe.
meeting is finally underway, a bit late. first up, public comment.
walt says he was really disappointed to read about the last meeting. (i missed it, but it was a hot one! the attorney for the police union got into a verbal altercation with a board member)
dailyprogress.com/news/local/cit…
walt thanks the board for their work & says the pushback they’re getting from the southern states police benevolent association means they’re doing their job right.

#Surrender doesn’t depend on the object, it is a quality that you bring into your #being. To whom you surrender is irrelevant.

Any object will do. You can surrender to a tree, you can surrender to a river, you can surrender to anything, your wife, your husband, your guru.
Even through stones, people have attained because it is not a question at all to what you #surrender.

You surrender, and that brings the whole thing, that opens the door. Surrendering, the effort to surrender brings an opening to you.
If you are open to stone, you become open to the whole existence, because it is only a question of opening. How can you be open to a stone, and not open to a tree?

✅Check this out! #Maine’s race for 2nd Congressional District will be decided by ranked voting because no candidate has 50% of the vote yet.

🔥But incumbent Bruce Poliquin & the GOP are making similar claims to #Florida Governor Rick Scott: that the SOS “mishandled ballots.”
#Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap criticized Poliquin’s campaign, saying those comments could lead to voters losing confidence in the voting system.

Ranked voting results are expected mid-week & #Democrat Jared Golden @golden4congress could win.

sunjournal.com/dunlap-concern…
ℹ️This is explains the ranked voting system. #Maine is the first state to use it.

💥And an Election Day poll said that Jared Golden would get 93% of the independent candidates’ votes.

#DYK The post office issues safe driving awards to mail carriers? This is a neighbor of mine growing up in #Maine. She’s a great lady and deserves the recognition! Although they included an odd and abrupt USPS funding disclaimer at the end.

thecounty.me/2018/10/29/new…
#DYK The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.

This is why packing tape from #USPS costs as much as my #studentloan payments. 😂
Speaking of #DYK That #maine has an opportunity tax credit that can help you repay your student loans? It won’t help you purchase packing tape but it might help Maine attract younger workers.

#Maine SoS Dunlap accuses Kobach of "troubling bias" & calls his claim that there's huge numbers of fraudulent voters "bizarre". Yet Dunlap is the ONLY Demo SoS to join Kobach’s bizarre & biased Crosscheck—which threatens to purge 1,062,818 Maine voters! washingtonpost.com/news/politics/…
Dupe? Dullard? Or Duplicitous? Dunlap, are you just another duplicitous politician singing different tunes to different audiences? I intend to find out: I’m suing your a** in 40 days unless you cough up the names of the thousands of voters you've purged on #Kobach’s say-so.
You can read more about our action targeting all 26 #Crosscheck states here:
