Been thinking about this. If I ever wondered what I would do when the fascists come for my neighbor, it’s now. I pray to have the courage needed to step forward and say Absolutely Not Acceptable in a loud voice.

Dear @senangusking.bsky.social

Trump posted this morning that members of Congress should be hanged. I spoke to staffers in your and Sen Collins’ offices expressing dismay and asking them to publicly call for a return to decorum and decency. What is your response and what will you do?

As of 8:45am ET today you cannot leave a message for @senangusking.bsky.social at his Augusta or DC office bc the mail boxes are full. Call again at 9am and let’s try to reach a staffer. I left him messages last night not to CAVE and he did anyway

I sure hope the payments do go out - the uncertainty is part of what makes this so cruel imo

Has Maine sent money to SNAP recipients? IIRC, the usual monthly payout date hasn’t happened yet for November. Can you source?

5-hour shift as an election clerk, also roughly 5 people offered it. My response: “I don’t need to see that. Your name & address pls?” I wondered if a RW element told Rs to show up with their ID (to “normalize” it?) I’m just so relieved this morning

Do we know if a crown has ever been awarded to other people receiving this honor? The article says he’s the first American to receive it

I was on the side - noticeable to me was how many young(er) people were there compared to usual Lincoln County turnouts. How many ppl couldn’t get in?

Still, this is a band aid for a much larger crisis.

SNAP supports 170,000 Mainers, and the Trump Administration’s refusal to fund it will push hunger to its highest level in nearly a decade.

I’ll say it again: THEY HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP SNAP GOING. They’re just choosing not to. (2/3)

Two Mainers awarded prestigious MacArthur ‘Genius grants’ Jeremy Frey, a Passamaquoddy artist, and Indigenous cartographer Margaret Wickens Pearce both received the $800,000 award.

This year’s class of 22 MacArthur Fellows includes not one, but *TWO* Mainers!

What makes this so special is how both recipients have used their genius to highlight the Indigenous experience: Jeremy through his extraordinary basketweaving, and Margaret through her game-changing cartography. (1/2)

@pressherald.com would like to hear from federal workers and others in Maine who expect to see impacts from the federal government shutting down at midnight Tuesday, Sept 30.

@skpawlicki.bsky.social was, until the Trump administration canceled the program, working as a Mellon fellow for the National Parks Service. She created the most incredible women's history programming, and now, she's recreated it entirely separately: storymaps.arcgis.com/collections/...
