Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

Just occurred to me that it’s a good thing Jack Smith was actually at a basketball game that day and they could prove it during the hearing because they were all gearing up to feast on the headline for weeks if not years. The headline was all they were after anyway.

Y'all, I paid $17 for 2 lbs of strawberries yesterday. We have a two-professional-income family, and I probably would have passed on them if strawberry shortcake hadn't been the requested birthday treat. We ALL need our fresh fruits and vegetables. This is NOT sustainable.

This is the same thinking that generates "we can eliminate the national deficit by cracking down on waste, fraud, and abuse." Everyone wants to believe that we can achieve sweeping policy change and the only people who will be hurt are "the bad guys."

ICE's own reviews of cases of immigrant deaths in custody show a pattern of neglect: confiscation and refusal to provide routine medication, lack of follow-up care, even incompetence in reading tests or supplying medication. @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social has this report. prospect.org/2026/09/30/i...

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

Very, very pleased to have someone running for Senate in Maine who is clearly good on this issue and has no personal baggage or malcontent. It gives me pause that there are people who therefore think dropping Platner was primarily about this issue, especially given Abdul's parallel unimpeded ascent.

After Benjamin Netanyahu, who I believe is a war criminal, just came and went from New York, I’ve been thinking a lot about the world my first granddaughter is about to enter.

No child should have to grow up wondering whether the next bomb is going to hit their home. No parent should have to wonder whether they can feed their kid or keep them alive. And American taxpayer dollars should not be used to keep fueling that suffering.

Susan Collins has voted again and again to send billions in military aid to Israel throughout this war. She’s part of the same broken Washington system that keeps funding these conflicts while working people here get screwed.

When I get to the United States Senate, I’m going to do everything in my power to stop the killing, get humanitarian aid to the people who need it, and stop writing blank checks for endless wars.

I've been clear where I stand since Day One, and Mainers can check my website to see where I stand.
