I love all animals, care about the earth and all of its inhabitants, and believe in human and civil rights for everyone. Very scared for my country right now.

Please share: My name is David Costello. I am a lifelong Mainer and Democrat running against Susan Collins. I too am concerned. I am concerned with endless decisions Susan Collins has made. We need to turn a page, retire Susan and take back the US Senate. Please watch and share:

I have been hearing it a lot lately, ever since Trump has given his followers permission and encouragement to be obnoxious jerks.

It doesn't matter if YOU are offended or not. It's about the effect it has on people who are being slurred and made to feel like they are lesser beings.

Just saying he was a gentleman in all respects shows how much she is lying. There is nothing at all gentlemanly about Trump, as we have all observed over a long period of time.

1. You may have noticed something. I used to talk about the president’s dementia pretty regularly, but haven’t in months. That’s because I’ve lost faith. I used to believe the Washington press corps would see the plainly obvious. I no longer believe that. The hypocrisy is too baked in.

I would like to thank my father for teaching me the love of reading both by his example, and by taking me on weekly trips to the library as soon as I was able to read. On my own, I read "River of Grass" about the need to preserve the Everglades, as a teen 50 yrs ago.

To get back to the OP, we are not hearing about any mass roundups, community harassment or deportations of white immigrants. There are individual stories of course, but they aren't being targeted as a whole.
fleurkatz.bsky.social (@fleurkatz.bsky.social) reply parent
While that is interesting, from reading that article those are wealthy Russian tourists taking advantage of our birthright citizenship (with Trump's blessing). I am referring to actual Russian immigrants who are wanting to live here. As Kinzinger said, it doesn't seem like they are being targeted.

Not only it is hard to find citizens willing to pick their crops, but it is much more expensive because with documented workers they have to follow the laws regarding working conditions, and wages. No one left to exploit. Even the documented workers are afraid to show up for work because of ICE.
