Only happy talk is allowed.

Should immediately file suit for violation of first amendment rights. Supreme court already ruled on this ages and ages ago, public is allowed to make remarks against public officials and the officials have to sit there and take it - like it or not.

Maine is now the northernmost county of Massachusetts.

Maine is now the northernmost county of Massachusetts.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. (Maine was part of Massachusetts before the Missouri Compromise.)

As it once was.

Yup,I'm aware of that.

[packrat35]

Maine actually used to be part of Massachusetts.

Not in Maine, apparently.

They are pursuing the policy of BeijingBiden — my ruling/order will continue until you finance a SCOTUS decision to reverse it. This will continue unabated until there are some perp walks. Not before.

[ConservativeDude]

100% correct. Now, these public bodies do of course have the right to control when public comments can be made, time limits, and they have the right to enforce a bit of decorum. Hopefully the speaker followed all the rules. But no level of government has any right whatsoever to regulate the content of someone’s speech and it sounds like that is what they did.

[reed13k]

“they have the right to enforce a bit of decorum”

Actually the supreme court ruling said that the only things they can control are when and amount of time for public comments. They must provide for it, but can set those limits. What they cannot control is the content of the speech - including foul language, name calling, etc....lots and lots of precedent.

Openly Trans Person Elected To Public Office For The First Time In Maine


Neptune is the first openly transgender person elected to public office in Maine.

For the first time in Maine, an openly transgender person has been elected to public office. Geo Neptune was elected to the school board in Indian Township.

The transgender advocacy organization MaineTransNet says this is the first time a trans person has been elected to office in the state.

Neptune, who uses they/them pronouns, is a Two-Spirit artist and educator and a member of the Passamaquoddy Tribe.

“Two-Spirit is an intersectional identity that was and is found within Indigenous cultures all across Turtle Island,” says Neptune. “A lot of people get caught up in trying to separate all of these different things and saying like, well, is it gender identity or is it sexual orientation? Or is it a spiritual role? Or is it gender and societal role? And all of those things are true.”

Of the three candidates elected to the school board, Neptune received the most votes — about half.

First transgender person elected to local office in Maine

(”They” as in “Legion”?)

“To my knowledge,” Neptune wrote on Facebook, “I am […] the first Two-Spirit person to run for any kind of office in our community. I mention this because it is a big part of who I am; being transgender and non-binary is part of who I am, and part of who you would be electing, should you select my name.”

Neptune identifies as Two-Spirit, a traditional non-binary gender role found in many Indigenous cultures that may fulfill a ceremonial and social role.

They graduated from Gould Academy in Bethel and earned a theater degree from Dartmouth College. They returned to the Indian Township reservation to focus on basket making techniques they were taught by their grandmother, Molly Neptune Parker, a Passamaquoddy elder and master basket weaver.

Neptune is an activist with the Idle No More movement, which advocates for First Nations and Native American sovereignty and cultural preservation.

They have talked about detrimental effects imposed upon Indigenous people through settler-colonial norms of gender and patriarchy.

DEMOCRAT JOE BIDEN WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO INSULT THE
RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD & SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST ON

EASTER SUNDAY,
MARCH 31, 2024



Pastor Greg Laurie:

This is really hard to believe.

(DEMOCRAT) President Biden issued a proclamation recognizing March 31 (2024) as Transgender Day of Visibility.

This is also the date of Easter where we celebrate the fact that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. What is the president thinking?

This is a profound insult to the sincerely held religious beliefs of millions of Americans on our holiest day.

America needs God more then ever and yet this is the stance the White House takes.

It’s time to turn back to God not turn our backs on God.

We need to repent and pray for a spiritual awakening in America. It is our only hope.
