Road Ghosts memoir: A rollicking journey across America in search of purpose and reawakening; a coming-of-age probe of the soul; philosophical inquiry of our times akin to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Comps = Heartland, The Glass Castle, Wild, and Nomadland. #PitMad

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

It's not immigrants making life impossible for working mainers. It's not trans kids.

It's billionaires, and the politicians like Susan Collins on their payroll.

@VvvvvPatrick @DanielLurie If you don't want homeless people to shit on the streets (which nobody wants, including them) then fund more public toilets, more supportive housing, more shelters! You can't advocate slashing spending and expect things to improve.

[Resist and Persist @chrsdcook]

Hey @nytimes What the hell is up with you're super-biased coverage of #Maine elections, running uncorroborated allegations vs @grahamformaine while running puff piece on @SenSusanCollins??? Why are you aiding the coordinated attacks on Platner?? @nytpolitics @nytopinion

[Resist and Persist @chrsdcook]

@1ShaynaMaidel @DanielLurie You can't force people into recovery, it generally doesn't work. Get people housed and give them support and a reason for hope and recovery.

[Resist and Persist @chrsdcook]

@VvvvvPatrick @DanielLurie While a few nonprofits have real problems, most do essential work for little money. I'm well acquainted with the distortions from rightwing media and conservatives who manipulate a few bad cases to argue against public spending and government help for the poor.

[Resist and Persist @chrsdcook]

@1ShaynaMaidel @DanielLurie That's a failed and reckless idea--you can't force people, and nobody gets clean and sober when they are homeless. Housing First is essential, and should include wrap-around supportive services including recovery and treatment.

[Resist and Persist @chrsdcook]

@VvvvvPatrick @DanielLurie So, are you willing to pay more in taxes to fund the transitional supportive housing needed to make this happen?

[Resist and Persist @chrsdcook]

@DanielLurie Yeah, slashing programs serving poor and homeless people, great flex from the billionaire closet Republican.

Here’s what Saikat Chakrabarti got wrong about S.F. in his bid to replace Nancy Pelosi https://t.co/1GkmF55UXR via @sfchronicle

[Resist and Persist @chrsdcook]

How much you wanna bet that @saikatc, who just spent $10 million for 14% of the vote, goes back into tech? He could have spent that money creating something meaningful and useful rather than on this ridiculous ego-fest. But maybe he just couldn't help himself.

@mattdorsey That's BS and you know it, Matt. You're just shilling for corporations and ever-more cops. You know it, we all know it.

@Civil_War_Spain @galanthusnatura Hi, very intrigued about your Spanish Civil War tours, are you doing any in the next couple of days by chance?

@tedcruz Are you fckn kidding me? Bragging over $3.99?

Damn y'all are so evil you've lost touch with reality.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Whether you are a Republican, a Democrat or an independent, you understand that it is absurd to spend billions of dollars killing innocent people abroad.

Let's send people to the Senate who will invest and rebuild America — people like Graham Platner.

[Resist and Persist @chrsdcook]

@tedcruz Senator Cruz, every time you speak, you show you are entirely incapable of honesty. You KNOW gas prices have skyrocketed NATIONWIDE since TRUMP launched his INSANE IRAN WAR! You KNOW this, yet insist on lying and deflecting. You are absolutely PATHETIC.

@DanielLurie @SFPD Your @SFPD never even responded to my burglary case even when I told them about video footage of the perpetrator. Pathetic!

@MattMahanSJ You're doing a terrible disservice to the Democratic Party by selfishly running when you know you can't win. Voting Mahan only hurts Democrats chances.
