Thanks ACLU ME!
For 35 years, the ADA has been critical for voters with disabilities. In Maine, we also have ongoing absentee voting so people with disabilities can access the ballot box.

Fascinating. And good to know given the heinous coverage of Mamdani
My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

Wishing everyone a happy Fourth of July!
249 years since we declared independence from a king, the work of living up to our founding promise is more important than ever - and it calls on each of us to do what we can for our country.

We fought for independence from King George - we can do it again
Loving this country means fighting to make it better—even when it’s hard, even when the odds feel stacked. We don’t worship kings here. We fight for justice, for freedom, and to make government work for all of us. That’s patriotism.
