For those who donβt know pictured is the remains of Camp Hope, what used to be a unhoused encampment being barricaded off with pride flag concrete barriers.

Maineβs very own Environmental βProtectionβ Agency out here continuing the tradition of fucking over Native Americans and the environment they live in. Even before this Native communities were warned to not eat more then one wild caught salmon a month because of the contamination in Maine rivers.
