On 20FEB Laurel Libby, the elected representative of MHD 90 in Auburn, ME publicly harassed a minor in the interest of fomenting hate, spreading lies, and fanning Nazi-like hatred in Maine.

Her cruelty, ignorance, and damaging rhetoric are the antithesis of Maine values.

Laurel has brought negative national attention to Maine, which requires the rest of us to loudly and publicly oppose her so America knows that Dirigo doesn’t just mean ‘I Lead’ — it means Don’t f*ck with ME.

Laurel has caused material harm to our state, and done it through the unapologetic harassment of a minor.

Laurel didn’t do this because it happened in their district, or concerned one of their constituents.

Laurel did it because they crave connection to the right-wing attention economy who profit from the chaos and pain they inflict on the communities they infect.

Laurel Libby doesn’t care about Maine, or Maine residents unless they align to her beliefs.

Laurel is only interested in becoming what will be a somehow cheaper knock-off Nancy Mace.

Laurel must be removed from their seat before bringing additional harm to Maine, or have another opportunity to incite violence against the trans community.

Things you can do:

  1. Be a visibly safe person for the trans community!

    1. Being a visible ally helps marginalized communities know they aren’t alone.

    2. It reminds the bigots they are fewer in number than they think they are.

    3. Fly a flag (fly ten!), wear a pin, put that bumper sticker on, wear the t-shirts,WHATEVER works for you!

      • It’s more important than ever the trans community can see we love them, we want them, and we welcome them in our communities.

      • No. Flags and bumper stickers will not solve any of the root cause issues around anti-trans ideology but it will let trans folks know there are people out there who love them — even if we haven’t met them yet, and even if we never do.

  2. Next — Use your voice LOUDLY and OFTEN!

    1. Hate like this relies on the silence of bystanders. Write Laurel at her email address, and registered physical campaign address to let her know what she is doing is ignorant, weak, pathetic, vile, cruel, dehumanizing, and oh right — child endangerment.

    2. Be verbose and absolute in your messages but remember that MAGATS crave violence, and we are not in the wish fulfillment business. Laurel will lose this fight because they are weak and stupid. Don’t give them a reason to claim victimhood.

    3. Laurel is a Registered Nurse, and has violated the ethics policy to maintain licensing in that profession.

      1. You can report her violation here:

    4. Laurel has violated the Maine Legislative Code of Ethics, has been censured for this clear violation but remains arrogantly defiant. Make sure the Maine House of Representatives knows you don’t want her in that building again, and she doesn’t represent you. If you are a registered republican in Maine now is the time to reclaim that word, act with some courage, and call out bad behavior where you see it. If you’re comfortable victimizing a child in the interest of your ideology — you were never a republican, you just didn’t know you were a Nazi.

  3. Isolate the bigots around you, and take their power where you can

    1. This may be difficult but if you are friends with people who holds anti-trans beliefs, and continue to hold them in the face of overwhelming evidence, they aren’t your friend; they are members of a fascistic cult who are unlikely to get better.

    2. Watch your local elected leaders.

      1. Are they supporting the harassment of a child because it aligns with their political beliefs?

        1. If so, make a plan to run against them the second you can.

    3. When you’re on social media remember that facts don’t matter to people who reject basic science in order to try and divide our world into an unrealistic binary when that’s not how real life works.

      1. Laurel supporters are chicken-brained idiots — stop trying to convince them, and stop answering their thought terminating cliches with well articulated responses.

      2. If you want to write up a well researched paragraph on something send it to your representative, to local media, or to a trans person you’ve never met as a message of support, or run for office.

        1. Facebook isn’t where we’re going to change any hearts or minds. Plus, you can only change someone’s heart if they have one in the first place.

      The bigots cannot be helped or saved — leave them where they are, and help build a better Maine.
