This type of behavior is becoming "normalized" and is a threat to society. This isn't what the founders imagined when they ratified the 2nd amendment in 1791.

If we care about this country, it's time to redefine that amendment.πŸ—½

πŸ‘€The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Yes, that’s right! Susan Collins voted to make it harder for us to vote. It’s an election year and this can only mean one thing: she doesn’t think she can win if we all have fair access to voting. We’re not taking this sitting down and we hope you won’t either. #MEPolitics #SeeYaSusan #BangorME

This week, we have two events focusing on Susan Collins. The first is tomorrow, Feb 16. Meet us on Haskell Road (from 8 to 10 am). Then, we rally again at noon on Wed. the 18th at 202, Harlow Street. Details in the comments.

We need action against tyranny, not concern.

Hey #Maine, the worse elements in the far right are praising Susan Collins to the high skies for sponsoring with them the types of voting restrictions that 64%, that is over 308,000, of us rejected just 3 months ago.

She’s someone’s else’s Senator, not ours.

Guess who’s in Bangor today? If you guessed Susan Collins, you’re right and we’ll be there to greet her. Join us on Haskell Road this morning from 8 to 10 am. Bring your best signs and let her know you don’t appreciate being ignored. More details in the comments.
