I thought this video was fake until I saw it from a verified account.

America, think really, really hard about any organization that tells you fellow Americans are the enemies. We are neighbors, friends and communities with different points of view.

#mepolitics
Does this video make you feel like you have an enemy or you are an enemy?

Why would any organization try to get you to have such a visceral, emotional reaction to other Americans?

This is not ok.

This is the opposite of patriotism.

This is not who we are.
The last time we disagreed with weapons instead of words, we had a civil war.

Is that what you want? Do you want to shoot your neighbors over ideology? Do you want a "clenched fist" because you wear a MAGA hat and the other person prefers a pink knitted one?
Do not let an organization manipulate you into loathing fellow Americans.

Do not let them harness your fears & frustrations into something darker.

If this commercial makes you dislike anyone other than the producer of it, you are being manipulated.
If you feel anything other than horrified by this commercial, it's time to start reaching out.

Meet up for coffee with someone new.

Check in on an elderly neighbor.

Join a meetup group.

Volunteer at a food pantry.

Be who we are before we forget what really makes us great.
I did not anticipate how much attention my tweets would get.

Thank you twitter.

I challenge you to use the motivation you got from this message to pick a better government. This about what you want your congress to be.

This is #Mycongress...

It's not about blue or red, we are both, and purple - we are a spectrum. Find candidates you want doing the job.

There are good Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Greens, Independents...there is probably a good whig or two running around. There are not good ones too.
Good, reasonable, qualified (boring) candidates *are* running.

If you think I belong in congress, check out my pinned tweet or look below to help.

If you think you belong in office, run. If you know being in office isn't your thing, support who should.

Stop supporting toxic, sensational news. It's delivered left and right. Demand more.

Widen your spectrum of news you take in. Creating comfortable self-selected news invites indoctrination. Don't do that.

Learn.

Engage.

Reward responsibility.

Deserve the government we want.
Deflection is the sword of embarrassment.

1st time cooking the bird today?

Start with a nice, long hot shower followed by a nice cup of tea.

All the romcoms make it look like Thanksgiving must be hell.

Choose your meal time, start cooking when your main will be done + an hour, make sides until annoyed, stop cooking 😉
We do a later meal here, so I'll start cooking about 5 hours before.

First up...shower and tea.

Then I'll triage sides.

If you need help, follow along and I'll answer questions as I go.

If you forgot to take your butter out last night - put it on the counter now.
If you are using a tablecloth and haven't taken a gander at it since last Thanksgiving...pull it out and make sure it doesn't need to get tossed in the wash.

Ours is a bit dusty and does. 😬

My DMs tell me that I look like I'm not ok from this thread. ⤵️

I am not ok.

This is not ok.

But it isn't just this series of events...it's that this series of events comes from years of escalation and lack of enforcement, and by all appearances will be followed by the same.
We are at a point where our governance is run by elected officials that increasingly are caricatures of positions, not legislators doing the work.

Getting into office is a measure of fundraising, favors, and platitudes - being in office is increasingly extended campaigning.
The percent of legislators who act like reality show contestants is not insignificant; the amount of legislators we have that will vote for a bill they haven't read is approximately 100%.

Our legislators are in the same club, divided in two distinctly different screwed up clubs.

Please, take #MaineRaising and make it #GeorgiaRaising.

It is my gift of a win to you.

Flood Georgia's small businesses and non-profits with resources.

Do not make the mistake you all made with money in Maine.
This is me, giving you the Senate seat(s) you didn't give me the resources to give you in Maine. ⤴

Stop wasting money.

Invest in the community.

Like this, but for Georgia.⤵
There are 1292 donors choose projects in Georgia (starting at $19) if you don't know where to start.

Do not forget the note!

I run the most grassroots campaigns you've ever seen.

Let's drop the drama, kick out the influence of money, and focus on what really matters in our federal law.

Help here: bond4.me/get-involved

Let's get some common sense back in politics.
BUT YOU ARE AN INDEPENDENT!?!??!?!!!

No problem! Maine has ranked choice voting.

Do you know how that works?
I run without accepting money...so how do you help?

If you want to throw money at this problem - do a #MaineRaising

Let's get those dollars back in our community doing good.

Me, opens up pizza stone from new in box

9: I didn't know you had that

M: yeah, I bought it before I met your dad

9: you have had this for 50 years and never opened it?

M: closer to 20 years

9: daaaad, mom has a secret hidden pizza stone

M: it's called "putting it away"
Our boys are in the recycle bin pretending to be prairie dogs.

Very, very loud and giggly prairie dogs. Image
Our house has a lovely sense of balance.

For example, the amount of time required to get one of our children into the bath is approximately the same amount of time required to get said child out of the bath.

In the case of 7, it's an hour.
