What T's Me Off

@adammcarter @jk_rowling Oh no what will she do without your order 😂

@jk_rowling Damn, I’m going to have to return this one now.

I fear this might be my most controversial take ever, but I agreed to put it to a vote so here we are. Hoodies should only be worn by men young enough not to look silly carrying a skateboard.

Good article and good question but we know the answer they don't care about the people on the street because if the money that is donated and the tax dollars for this problem each one of those "American Citizens" could have a cheap housing and/or proper medical treatment but they are more worried about getting that money swindled into their campaign funds or probably even personal bank accounts Anyway that's how I feel about it

Maine’s “No Kings” Rally — Signs, Side-Eyes, and Serious Questions Editorial by Jon Fetherston Saturday morning was a cold, brisk day, the kind of Maine morning that wakes you up whether you like it or not. Around 10:30 a.m., I made my way to my first rally of the day. A very large crowd had lined Route 1. It was, at least at first glance, a friendly scene. People were assembling near a local elementary school. Political signs were being attached to a school playground fence. Live music drifted across the area. Dogs on leashes. Kids bundled in winter jackets. It looked part community gathering, part protest. As I took photos, people began asking why. When I told some that I was a reporter, they smiled and posed. Others asked where I worked. When I answered that question, the mood changed fast. One person I recognized slightly looked at me and said, “I know who you work for, don’t talk to me.” Nice. When I asked attendees why they were there, the answers were predictable. President Trump got called plenty of names. Senator Susan Collins took heat. Pete Hegseth took heat too. But when I followed up with a simple question, what does this rally actually change? There was a noticeable pause… No one really had an answer. Still, they were convinced they had shown Trump something. So, off to Portland. As I exited I-295, reality showed up before I even reached the rally. At the stoplight, multiple people were begging for money. A quick left onto Preble Street told the rest of the story, people wandering, people laying in the street, trash scattered around, and individuals sleeping on the sidewalk outside the Elna’s Way shelter. It was a horrible optic for Portland and for the country. Monument Square was closed to traffic. DPW workers and Portland police officers were on scene, professional and calm. The rally atmosphere itself was orderly. As I walked into the square, I immediately saw Governor Janet Mills. I said, “Good morning, Governor.” What I got back was a wicked side-eye as she moved toward the ACLU tent. So much for that. I mingled with the crowd, asking people why they were there. It was, for the most part, a friendly crowd. Lots of dogs. Lots of children. Lots of signs. Then came the moment that really stood out. I ran into State Senator Jill Duson and asked if I could take a picture of her sign. She smiled. Then I introduced myself as Jon with the Maine Wire. I told her I was at Gateway Community Services the day Homeland Security was attempting to serve her son, Nathan Davis, a warrant tied to alleged fraud. Duson said nothing. Happy to hold a sign at a “No Kings” rally. Happy to stay silent while Gateway sits in front of the House Oversight Committee. You cannot make it up. I snapped a few more pictures, and then a local singer began performing on stage, singing, “Get the F** out of our Town.”* She was talented, no question about it. But is that really the right message with children standing just inches from the stage? From the same crowd that insists love is their superpower and hate has no home here? That is a mixed message, at best. And here is the bigger question. The Governor was there. A powerful state senator was there. Did they see what I saw on Preble Street? Did they see the people begging at the lights? Did they see people sleeping on sidewalks? Did they see the trash, the disorder, the human misery sitting just blocks away from the speeches and signs? And if they did, what are they doing about it? What are they doing about the fraud? What are they doing about the collapse of public order? What are they doing about the people living in the middle of this dysfunction? Simply put: nothing. That is what makes these events so hard to take seriously. The people with power show up for the optics. They pose. They mingle. They signal virtue. They stand in safe crowds and chant about national politics while the consequences of their own failures sit right around the corner in plain view. I love a good protest. Peaceful protest is a cornerstone of this country. Everyone has every right to attend a “No Kings” rally. Absolutely. But Trump is still President, and he will be for a little less than three more years. America has no kings. Which is a good thing. But what Maine does have is a political class that seems far more comfortable waving signs than answering hard questions. Can we stop with this…please?!

@TheMaineWire Omg will these people ever STFU Oh well good to see that the Marxist Commies are sending their best 🚫👸🏼🤣

NEW NO KINGS BANGER JUST DROPPED!! 🔥🔥 Not much "choosing love" going on at these rallies...

STFU What is wrong with people if he'd just done what he was ordered to do instead of putting the officer and citizens of the area at risk of a innocent fatality he'd probably be out on some shit ass bail and could plead the case in court but NO had to have his life taken for complete ignorant stupid behavior

@shanermurph The cop is cooked. You can not jump onto a fleeing vehicle. There are multiple high profile cases.

#Milwaukee “[MPD] released body-worn and dashboard camera video on Friday from an incident earlier this month in which an officer shot and killed a wanted suspect. That suspect drove off from an attempted arrest with the officer holding onto the vehicle.” /1

@LueElizondo Assuming by the road rash on your forehead there was no helmet Hopefully you'll find a cool helmet for next ride Be Safe and ride on

I want to share a quick update with all of you. Recently, I was involved in a motorcycle accident while avoiding a family of deer. I’m grateful to say that I’m okay and taking the necessary time to recover. It’s been a sobering reminder of how quickly things can change—and how important it is to stay grounded, present, and appreciative of the people around us. I’ve always believed that resilience isn’t just about enduring challenges, but learning from them and moving forward with purpose. This is no different. To everyone who has reached out—thank you. Your support means more than I can adequately express. And to those planning to join me on the upcoming podcast tour: I’m still very much looking forward to seeing you all. We’ve got important conversations ahead, and I intend to be there for them. Stay safe, stay curious, and I’ll see you soon

@sciencegirl $300+

First thought when you see this grocery cart

@TheMaineWire Seriously ask yourself if you had a billion or trillion dollar company would you pick that person to run or represent your company all over the world If not how can you vote for them and put these people in these positions it makes no sense 🤯

Chellie Pingree has announced she will be boycotting the State of the Union, and will instead be joining some kind of made-for-Instagram coping rally at the National Mall. It's all a show. Chellie Pingree has admitted she couldn't even get an email back from the Trump admin on ICE operations in Maine, despite Senator Collins working with the admin to end the ICE surge.

@TheMaineWire Nobody should watch these people that want to be noticed for all the wrong reasons when all they want is $$ or power and not what's best for the state or nation

@elonmusk How can someone be so brainwashed and isn't tailing or following Federal agents illegal for interfering/impeding a federal investigation

Wow

@timburchett I don't get these guys like the cameraman who gets attacked and looks scared because you attack me I'm not going to look like a scared puppy especially from that POS professor Oh if you are going to put the camera in some a--holes face like that maybe be alert

He will probably be fired but the folks who hired him will remain in power and continue hiring.

@TheMaineWire Lord help us 🙏🏻 Sorry not into a Rino but still take before Graham Platner Why do we always end up with this type of option Just see that Sen.Collins partner against Republican base Sen.Lisa Murkowski Ak is against the Save Act so what's really to come from Sen. Collins ????

Here is Susan Collins official campaign announcement video. Thoughts?

@ScottJenningsKY Nobody will ever tell me there isn't a God We escaped that crazy and Jesus was watching out on that one but how much more can he take before saying if you think it's better the other way Try It and that's a scary thought

A political party nominated this person for president. Of the United States.

Sorry, what was the question? 🙃

Also why do I hear about the price of gas/fuel going down all around the country yet it has gone up here in Maine and gas is pushing $3 again for horrible ethanol laced regular gas and diesel as well over $4 is it because of crazy taxes or just market It's starting to feel like the cold version of California here and I don't like it !

If you think your electricity bill is high in Maine compared to friends or family in other states, you're not wrong... Maine saw the highest year-over-year increase out of the ENTIRE country! And if YOUR electricity bill has increased dramatically over that timeframe, we want to know... please send photos of a bill from years past AND a more recent bill to laurel@laurellibby.com. We just might highlight yours! Read more from @axios: axios.com/2025/08/04/ele…
