I’m going to Target for another box of sidewalk chalk. My twin great niece and nephew got 120 pieces in a box for Easter. It was $20. I’m going to buy the rest. I won’t take theirs. Haha

1. Oh no, call 911. There is chalk on my sidewalk.

I am so scared and feel threatened.

The GOP are such snowflakes.

[rampartc]

7. o am very concerned!

[Irish_Dem]

8. Right, we should tell Susan how very concerned we are for her.

No one should have to live with chalk on their sidewalk.

[Fla Dem]

34. Just to be accurate...this is not Susan Collins residence.

This is some row houses somewhere.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

35. I believe it's where she lives in Washington, DC. NT

[Blue Owl]

2. Let's make sure Susan is haunted by chalk the rest of her political career

[Ferrets are Cool]

3. She MUST acquire 24/7 protection for the threats against her well being.

[peacefreak2.0]

4. So grateful to those people in Bangor.

Susie, you keep clutching those pearls.

[exboyfil]

5. Talk about the Streisand effect

It would have been best to quietly wash the chalk off instead of calling 911.

Also it would be best to back the Democrats legislation if she really cared about women's rights.

[Autumn]

6. They need to keep doing it. Getting it cleaned off every day gives her something useful to do.

[perfessor]

9. And if she doesn't like doing that,

She can just move to another state.

[FoxNewsSucks]

16. She had the city public works department do it.

Hopefully, the next time she calls 911 for this, neither the cops nor the street crew will waste their time.

The city should send her a bill for it.

[halfulglas]

10. I hope this is getting lots of coverage inside Maine.

The people of Maine keep voting for her because she has good constituent services and she is perceived by most people in Maine as good for them. But if this keeps going and she is seen as not voting for them, but just another Republican insider, this may change the minds of some of the voters.

[SoCalDavidS]

17. It Doesn't Matter, She's In Senate Until 2026

I wouldn't be surprised if she finally retires, but it's too late for changing minds of some voters to matter.

[IronLionZion]

11. I like how Mainers are polite enough to say please

[BradBo]

12. Shits just starting to hit the fan for this horrible person.

She will soon go full MAGA I BET.

[durablend]

15. Bet she wants chalk banned by day's end

[Magoo48]

21. Poor Karen Collins.

[liberalla]

32. heh heh!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

13. "If people aren't mockingly waving chalk at Susan Collins everywhere she goes for the rest of ..."

If people aren't mockingly waving chalk at Susan Collins everywhere she goes for the rest of her life I will be disappointed.

14. Chalk Democracy! Susan is "very concerned."

[usaf-vet]

18. A basic question. Who owns the sidewalks in Maine? The landowner or the taxpayers? Are they public?

In the community I live in, they are public sidewalks, and anyone can use them.

[FailureToCommunicate]

27. Most sidewalks are town property (public) but homeowners are encouraged to

maintain any curb side trees or plantings, and report any hazards, like surface uplift, or utility leaks, etc.

Don't know about her Maine town specifically, but it's likely the same.

Oh, the humanity! What's next for poor Susan, art tourists flocking there to admire the (public) art?

[usonian]

19. She should move to the countryside, Ay-uh! Try chalking a dirt road! nt

[Rebl2]

22. There ya go

That’s a plan

[Escurumbele]

20. Write "Are you concerned"?

[crim son]

23. Love it!

And tempted to do it. She lives about five blocks from me.

[Jimvanhise]

24. SIDEWALKS ARE PUBLIC

Also, chalk can be washed off with ordinary garden hoses. You don't need pros.

[Fla Dem]

25. This is not "Susan Collins' " Residence.

It looks like row houses.

This is her home in Bangor Maine at the corner of Hayward St and W Broadway.



This was the messaging in front of her home.

Just Wait Until You See the Terrifying “Defacement” of Susan Collins’ Sidewalk by Pro-Choice Activists
It’s chalk.

It’s in this context that Collins, according to the Bangor Daily News report, complained to police about sidewalk chalk. (Officers summoned a public works employee to wash it off but are not otherwise pursuing the matter.) A source close to the chalking says that two people were involved in its execution and that Collins’ husband, a longtime Republican staffer and lobbyist named Thomas Daffron, delivered a personal “scolding” to them while it was being written.

On Tuesday, meanwhile, more chalk messages were left, including one that said: “You might not recognize our right to free speech, but I hope you recognize my right to an abortion.” Daffron told the Bangor paper that he has not alerted authorities to the presence of the new slogans

28. What an odd mashup of architectural styles.

Some sidewalk art would def help the curb appeal!

[BumRushDaShow]

29. Exactly - I think the one shown in the tweets are in D.C.

because it looks like a typical D.C. row house (I have some old friends down there and have been in their homes years ago, and we have a similar style here in Philly too).

[druidity33]

37. Does she have a DC residence? nt.

[BumRushDaShow]

38. I expect ALL of them have some residence in the D.C. metro area

whether in D.C. proper itself or in VA/MD.

In a search, there was an article from the Bangor Daily News that had an AP report from 2011 (the Bangor paper has a paywall so I got a cached copy of the link since AP refuses to call up one of their older articles from a decade ago) - https://bangordailynews.com/2011/02/10/politics/susan-collins-buys-new-home-in-dc/usg=AOvVaw0BQidbQVQjX0JIbtZ3nomV

Susan Collins buys new home in DC

by The Associated Press February 10, 2011


PORTLAND, Maine — U.S. Sen. Susan Collins still plans to return to Maine on most weekends despite buying a new home in the District of Columbia.

Spokesman Kevin Kelley confirmed reports that Collins sold her Washington home and purchased a larger four-bedroom townhouse near her Capitol Hill office.

She and Thomas Daffron, a friend and former colleague, purchased the home together for $705,000 as an investment property. It’ll serve as her home-away-from-home when she’s not in Bangor, Maine.

Some of these folks also "stay" at one of their colleagues', relatives' or friends' homes too, during weeks they are working in D.C.

[AllaN01Bear]

26. does she own the sidewalk? id love to see her documation that says she does .

public space lady.

[llashram]

30. idiot

does not have a clue...

[LW1977]

31. How many times has she had to change her routing and checking numbers?

She seems like the type who would fall for every type of scam no matter how ridiculous the scam is.

[EnterwebsJohn]

36. A sidewalk is a public form - courts ha ruled. So if

Susie had the message removed, she violated someones FREEDOM OF SPEECH,

[mainer]

39. Good god, we need a good candidate in '26

I'm really hoping Shenna Bellows (D) runs against Collins. We can't let Collins win again.
