I think both Platner and Mills have pros and cons. I wish we had more candidates.

Disclosures: I'm a lifelong Mainer. I personally interviewed Platner in September 2025. Janet Mills sent me two Robert McCloskey picture books when my son was born.

I get tne Bluesky reaction to Graham Platner. But the other primary candidate is a 77 year old traditional liberal/moderate former prosecutor who was handpicked by Chuck Schumer and the Democratic establishment. Which somehow I don't think Bluesky will like either

A calm forest. Ants are carrying various consumer products into the ground. The text reads: ants don't take care of unsafe products. You need SaferProducts.gov! Report and search for unsafe products 24/7. No ants!

This National Consumer Protection Week, our message is clear. We take care of unsafe products - not the ants.

One was a professional horse trainer, show judge, general equestrian
One was a union electrician
And one was an air force pilot who died in a training crash when my mom was a baby

Back in 1588, everyone still knew that book trees grow better when there's music around, and when you speak to them. Attention and house organ music were the key.

Consider Operation Epic Surry, where the target population is stunned and confused by drones repeatedly playing the Rogers & Hammerstein hit from their 1943 musical OKLAHOMA.
