With the war in Iran driving up energy costs it’s gonna be a hard winter for a lot of us. No one has to face it alone. If you’re ever worried about staying warm this winter go to jacksonformaine.com/heat We’ve got a list of resources there to point you in the right direction.

Weak men hide behind their phones. If the President or Hegseth want to throw slurs at a trans woman who served them — they can say it to my face. Then everyone can see the hate behind their policies. Thanks to @nicollewallace.bsky.social for having me on.

If you think Trump handing a multibillion $ gift to Putin that will help Russia continue to wage war on Ukraine, doesn't make sense...then you're not paying attention. It is Trump doing what he always does, putting Putin and Russian interests ahead of America's and our allies.

Whether it's Obama telling farmers to plant arugula in Iowa or Donald Trump telling Iranians to take out Los Angeles, both presidents made deeply insensitive statements about regions of the country.

I might be a little less distrustful of AI if the dudes promoting it, supporting it, insisting on it, and advocating for it weren’t the worst fucking people on the planet.

I'm very tired of hearing that X person connected to Trump is corrupt as hell. Yes. They all are. The people connected to them are corrupt too. Prosecute them. This entire murderer's row should be put in jail (including many members of the Supreme Court). Dems, get it fucking done.

I'm catching up on Strange New Worlds, and as much as I have been kind of annoyed by the latest season, I'm giving the fairy tale episode a huge pass. It was very obviously a send up to Rob Reiner, and I love that. It wasn't a bad/annoying episode either. Carol Kane being in the episode is perfect.

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.
