What you idiot commies donβt understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion
She got her start mimicking Olympia Snowe and claiming her hero is Margaret Chase Smith. A look at her voting record shows sheβs a right wing radical who opportunistically switches position if her vote isnβt critical. MCS rolls over in her grave any time someone calls Collins a principled moderate.
I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

Good grief. As a Mainer, I was ready to stan, but that just made me uncomfortable and kinda nauseated.
Uncanny valley. Non-human. Touch some primal nerve of revulsion.
Is ICE turning The County woke?
Probably not but: "Many northern Mainers...have joined grassroots activist groups and attended ICE observer and de-escalation training. Others have offered mutual aid to neighbors and sent money to help immigrant families."
Interesting read. #MEpolitics

Yesterday we kicked off NYCβs Free Tax Prep season. That means filing your taxes at zero cost, keeping every dollar of your refund, and not getting ripped off by for-profit companies.Β

I demand the part be played by a woman who was actually hatched out of an egg. This is the only way to be faithful to the mythology.

My margin of substitution is towards Starbucks only when no other coffee is available, because it tastes like burnt dirt.
If the constitution isnβt already reining them in, what makes you think some pansy-ass legislative language is going to do it? Theyβre violating the highest law in the land already. You are complicit in their crimes and this is nothing but cynically performative.
I donβt think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I donβt think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.
I once asked my late uncle what he thought ended the legal Jim Crow era. He immediately responded that the murders of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner in 1964 were the moment Jim Crow died. When I asked him why he said: βWhen White folks fight White folks, it changes everything. Enough was enough.β
Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. Weβd chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
Portland, Maine. Iβve never seen so many people in Monument Square, and Iβm sure many of them are my friends and loved ones. I wish I was with them, even if it will be -1 F tonight.

DHS says they have a βlistβ of around 1,400 people to round up in what theyβre calling βOperation Catch of the Dayβ β a completely disgusting and inhumane name for their terror campaign in our state.
The TACO cycle:
Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank.
So we get a loop: Trump does things β nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) β that emboldens him to do more β until markets start to think he might not TACO β stocks fall β TACO is restored.

This is awful. So many business tied to a true working waterfront.
This is hilarious, but I gotta put in a good word for the Moccamaster. Ours is 15 years old and still makes coffee every bit as good as the first pot. Before splurging on it weβd gone through at least one cheapo coffeemaker per year (the hard water of Ithaca, NY, is not kind to coffeemakers).
