Gemma SeymourToday is always a good day to contact your elected and appointed officials and request that they open social #communications channels on the #nonprofit #Fediverse, and move away from billionaire #oligarchy #plutarchy controlled #media.
#Currency is created in two ways in modern economies: by spending it into existence by the central government; and by lending it into existence through fractional #banking.
That gives us power that most people don't even realize we have, because while the law prevents states and cities from printing #money, it does not and cannot prevent them from owning and operating banks that could lend new money into existence.
#PublicBanking is key to reviving #Vermont's economy. #VTpol #VTpoli
Americans need to understand that our tax policy is fundamentally dysfunctional. Our system of government was not designed around a strong, centralized, unitary federal government, but for the past century or so, we have paid the vast majority of our taxes to the federal government, which shifts power away from our local communities and our individual states.
Can someone please explain to me why VTSP even has olive drab military style uniforms? This is unacceptable. You are not military forces, you are police, and you should not be wearing "tactical" gear, looking like little green army men.
Friends, Vermonters, Countrypeople!
This is my new official public social communications channel for all things related to my elected and appointed positions.
The administrator of my previous host, vermont.masto.host, has chosen to discontinue operations as of 2026-03-20, requiring me to find a new home for this account.
Looking forward to hearing from constituents and talking about plans for the #LetsGrowBrattleboro and #Vermont2050 initiatives.

Vermont made an error in 1790 and should have become the #ProvinceOfVermont. It is not too late.

Gemma SeymourI am cautiously optimistic about Amanda Janoo running for #VTGovernor, but as I've already said, I want to see concrete policy proposals, not vague ideations.
#VTDems need to wake up to the new realities of our nation and the challenges we actually face as a state in it.
#GunControl is a non-starter, so ban it from your vocabulary. We need #LandValueTax and #PublicBanking, first and foremost. We need #urbanism and #redevelopment.

Friends and constituents, I received the news yesterday that this instance will shut down on 20 March 2026. I will be sad to see it go. I started this account to be my official social communications channel when I ran for office last year.
I will need to find a new instance for this account, and I will update you when that happens.
Don't forget, #TownMeetingDay is Tuesday, March 3, 2026, and #Vermont has same-day in-person #VoterRegistration at the polls!
' The police might have saved themselves some public embarrassment it they’d checked into Poitras’ record in New Hampshire. In 2010 he was charged with possession of child sexual abuse images, and in 2013 he was convicted of assaulting a bar owner with a baseball bat and sentenced to serve 15 days in jail.
If any members of the Brattleboro Police Department are still cooperating with Planet Hank, they should stop immediately. '
I Don’t Think Vermont Republicans Really Want to Share a Stage with Planet Hank
