Acadia National Park removes educational signs about climate change, Indigenous history Informational signs containing information on climate change, ecology and Native American history have been removed from Maine's Acadia National Park, one of the country's most popular national parks....

Acadia National Park in Maine has removed educational signs about climate change, Indigenous history & ecology.

Opinion: Indigenous Peoples Day is about honor, healing and survival "By having a holiday named after Columbus we not only erase the truth of history we glorify these atrocities as things to be revered and celebrated."

"Indigenous Peoples Day is about so much more than the name. It is about living our truth together and being better for it." By Maulian Bryant, executive director of the Wabanaki Alliance and a citizen of the Penobscot Nation in Maine. @bangordailynews.bsky.social

A poster sized piece of public art on a brick wall showing two people holding hands. One, a Wabanaki person in jeans and a hoodie with the state of Maine on it. The other a Palestinian person in yellow shorts and a white tee with the Palestinian flag on it. There is an indistinct group of people behind them. The lettering above and below them reads: From Wabanaki to Palestine Occupation is a Crime.

Here's a bit of Portland, Maine, for Indigenous People's Day.

A yellow sign reading "How is climate changing Acadia? (crossed out) You don't need to know! SIGN REMOVED" place next to trail signage.

A blue sign reading "Is Acadia Wabanaki land? (crossed out) You don't need to know! SIGN REMOVED" place next to a boulder.

A green sign reading "Why protect Acadia's plants? (crossed out) You don't need to know! SIGN REMOVED" place against a boardwalk fence to beach access.

Last week the administration removed information signs at Acadia National Park that mentioned climate change, endangered plants & Indigenous heritage. Someone felt compelled to create alternate signage -- thank you!

Saturday evening at the Cumberland County Jail in Portland. After demonstrating on Congress Street, the Ideal Maine Band lead a vigil with music, candles, and flowers to hold space outside the jail and let detainees know they are not forgotten. #abolishice #noiceforme #vigil #mepolitics

NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL

Projection magic on Saturday evening at the Cumberland County Jail in Portland. We were there to stand against ICE brutality along with many, many other Mainers. #abolishice #noiceforme #vigil #mepolitics #mainedsa #presentemaine #idealmainesocialaidandsanctuaryband

ALERT! TONIGHT'S VIGIL HAS BEEN CANCELLED. For now.

Vigil for Those in Cages Please join us for a vigil in solidarity with all those whom ICE is currently imprisoning. Cumberland County Jail has a contract to serve as a detention facility for ICE / DHS.

actionnetwork.org/events/vigil...

LumenARRT! will be there tomorrow to stand in solidarity with all those detained by ICE at the Cumberland County Jail. Where: Cumberland County Jail at the corner of St. John and Congress Streets in Portland, Maine When: Friday August 15th at 7:00pm We arrive to hold space for the humanity of care, dignity, support, family, and solidarity that ICE so violently attempts to strip from its detainees. With our presence, our voices, our light, and our hearts, we hope that those inside can know that the community outside is thinking about them, is working for them, and fighting the brutality they are subject to. Please join us with your heart and voice to help center our moral courage in this fragile moment.

Red, Pursed-Lipped Donald Trump’s Sculpture Emerges From Manhattan Manhole French street artist James Colomina installed a bright red sculpture of Donald Trump in Manhattan, depicting him emerging from a manhole.

A bright red sculpture of 47 has appeared at a busy intersection in Manhattan, seemingly climbing out of a manhole.

The life-size, red-coloured piece, titled "Donald," was secretly installed by French street artist James Colomina at the corner of East 42nd Street & 2nd Avenue.

Berkeley-based artist Michele Pred projected the phrase “Money For Science, Not Oligarchs” onto UC Berkeley‘s Sproul Hall. “Thousands of important research projects are losing money. [...] We’re in a crisis,” Pred said in a phone interview.
