I hope all of you in Maine and your families and friends are safe. I can't believe they haven't caught him yet. Fuck. It's horrible.

I barely slept last night. 2.5 hours seems so far away but like someone described it Maine is one big town. I cannot imagine he is still in that area.

I just read two things on Reddit that broke my heart. One I can’t verify but this guy said his brother was at that restaurant for his corn hole league night. That with bowling is just good Wednesday night fun. Another that I did verify is that Maine had 32 homicides in the entire year last year. This single event is nearly that many and the number of injured is so high. Just seems impossible that one person can do that much damage in such a short time. Like this is the problem with these weapons. I’ve seen in several reports that it was children’s league night at the bowling alley. 💔

Which makes me alternate between intense grief and intense anger.

I saw that even Hannaford in Ellsworth is closed this morning. Even the one in my small town was closed until 10! Looks like a lot have reopened but down in your area there are still a lot staying closed at this point.

Adding in a family photo with the kids, even with their faces blurred, is gross.

Ugh. I hate that separation of church and state is not an actual thing.

Yup. It's horrendous. This is local to me. I hope she finds some way to sue them for using those images. Either through copywrite law or revenge porn law. I just cannot believe they think this is ethical and just and moral. It's despicable. I hope my fellow Virginians don't fall for it.

I can't wait until this is all over and I can go out for a drink with her lol I've been keeping my distance to give her space. Today we had our lockdown drill. It was planned months in advance, but on the heels of last night, I felt immensely sad and helpless (and hopeless because nothing is ever going to fucking change) through the whole thing.

Fuck Glenn Youngkin.
