<p>Hi. To escape the madness of the next few days (german election, election worker, wrong election winners, USA madness, Ukraine 🥺, TV duels, right-wing extremists, stupid social media comments, etc.), I&#x27;m avoiding all media for a few days and taking a vacation from the madness. Hang in there, friends, and I&#x27;ll see you next week. 🤧👋🏻🫶🏻<br><a href="/tags/streetart/" rel="tag">#Streetart</a> <a href="/tags/art/" rel="tag">#Art</a> <a href="/tags/politics/" rel="tag">#Politics</a> <a href="/tags/bequiet/" rel="tag">#BeQuiet</a> and don&#x27;t slay any FDP voters.<br>(Artist Pic by: <a href="/tags/themisfortuneteller/" rel="tag">#Themisfortuneteller</a> <a href="https://themisfortuneteller.org/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>themisfortuneteller.org/</a> )</p>

<p>Speaking of weak Democrats, you have no idea how much trouble I&#x27;ve had getting Democrats in <a href="/tags/maine/" rel="tag">#Maine</a> to introduce or otherwise advocate for gun reform legislation. I&#x27;ve written multiple times to the chair of the Democratic Senate Committee, the Executive Director of the Maine Democratic Party, Senate President Mattie Daughtry (my state senator), the Maine Gun Safety Coalition, and more. All of them refuse to answer me. What cowardice. <a href="/tags/politics/" rel="tag">#Politics</a> <a href="/tags/democrats/" rel="tag">#Democrats</a> <a href="/tags/guns/" rel="tag">#Guns</a> <a href="/tags/gunreform/" rel="tag">#GunReform</a> <a href="/tags/democracy/" rel="tag">#Democracy</a> <a href="/tags/us/" rel="tag">#US</a> <a href="/tags/uspol/" rel="tag">#USpol</a></p>
