Stopped by the polls this morning to wish good luck to my favorite candidate, my dad! No matter the results today I am glad he stepped up to run. He’d be a wonderfully thoughtful voice to have on the Bangor City Council, a real asset to our city, but win or lose I’m proud of him!

This is a very disturbing story. In Spokane, local police snatched a @DemSocialists chapter co-chair off the street, threw him in a van, detained him for over a day, then tried to get him to talk to federal agents. https://t.co/yWudELqzIW
