A photo of a lake at sunset that says, "Senate pushes back vote to overturn 20-year mining ban protecting the boundary Waters"

A sample script that says: My name is [name] from [City, State]. I'm calling to tell Senator [name] to vote no on the resolution to undo the 20-year mining ban and protect the Boundary Waters. The Boundary Waters is America's most visited wilderness, and a place I value and want to see protected. This resolution would open up the headwaters to toxic copper mining by a foreign company. Once again, I'm asking Senator [name] to stand up for public lands by protecting the Boundary Waters and vote no on the resolution to undo the 20-year mining ban. Thank you. Script from Save the Boundary Waters

The Boundary Waters vote has been pushed back. 🏞️

I'm at the point in this journey where I just want to call and scream, "Stop 🦆ing up EVERYTHING good in the world!!!" but here's a better sample script to follow.

Yes!

Interesting to note the byline @mainepublic.org chose to use on Instagram versus on Bluesky. I'm a little surprised they weren't reversed.

I'm so jaded now, I'll believe it when it happens and not before. 😮‍💨

A post that says, "Do you have access to the computer of an ICE apologist, white supremacist, Republican mouthpiece, right-wing propagandist, or other morally bankrupt American? Install Times New Resistance and unleash some mischief. Free! Just like America used to be."

A post that says, "How it works: Times New Resistance autocorrects specific words as they are typed. For example, the word ICE auto corrects to 'the goon squad' and the word Trump autocorrects to 'Donald Trump is a felon.' Download- Distribute-Disrupt"

A post listing all of the auto corrections within the Times New Resistance font.

The news is dark, dark, dark this week. So we love this lighthearted resistance from designer Abby Haddican- the Times New Resistance autocorrecting font!

Collins votes to advance ICE funding as Platner, Mills push back - Maine Beacon U.S. Sen. Susan Collins voted today to advance a Department of Homeland Security funding bill that would continue fully funding ICE without new reforms or accountability. The Senate rejected the measu...

Susan Collins voting to send billions more to ICE and praising Noem the morning after the paramilitary shattered glass across the body of a Maine infant -- and days after Noem used Orwellian lies to defend Alex Pretti's killing -- should be the top story at every Maine outlet tomorrow. #MEpolitics

Ha! Questions only, huh?

"Yes, here's my question: did you know that your job is to relay constituent concerns to Susan?"

Glad to hear that lawsuits are moving forward! Have the missing detainees been located, do we know?

The "devaluing" phase of the narcissistic cycle, sliding into the "discard" phase. 😞

Oh FFS. I wish I was surprised. 🤦

Have you had a similar experience to this one when calling Collins' office?

Mayor Mark Dion today issued the following statement in regards to the status of ICE operations in Portland:⁠ ⁠ “I want to recognize our residents for quickly and loudly speaking out against the actions of ICE in our community, and for all the ways in which they banded together to support those most affected,” said Mayor Mark Dion. “I believe their collective work is what got us to this point.⁠ ⁠ That being said, even if it is true that ICE will no longer be conducting a major operation here, it does not make up for the damage already done – the constitutional rights that were violated, the families torn apart, and the many questions that remain unanswered. This will continue to have lasting effects for many of our residents.⁠ ⁠ It also does not mean that ICE agents are completely gone, and so I would encourage our community to remain vigilant and continue to look out for one another.”⁠ ⁠ #PortlandMaine #PortlandMe

"We refuse to be intimidated by these threats, and we reject their unlawful demands that infringe on Minnesota’s fundamental sovereignty. My fellow attorneys general and I will continue to stand firm in defense of the rule of law and Americans’ rights.”

A pastor searched for a missing congregant. He found a car with the keys on the floor Evaristo Kalonji, an asylum seeker from Angola who has no criminal record, vanished from South Portland. He turned up in one detention center, then another.

Bring Evaristo Kalonji home. And thank you to the Press Herald for telling these stories.

Bring Hassane Barry home.

Collins' "ICE is out of Maine" publicity stunt gave her optics in order to vote for the funding package. More negotiations and another vote are expected by tomorrow to avoid shutdown. Now is the time to 📣KEEP UP PRESSURE📣 on both her and King.

Inside the Maine Wire’s Disinformation Machine MAGA propagandists claim Soviet-level support for ICE in a state that rejects Trump

We'll believe it when we see it. ICE needs to be out of EVERY state and abolished entirely.

This won't age well at the trials.

Fun and feral ICE OUT activism from Unidos MN. Armchair warriors, this one's for you! 🦝

Portland Press Herald article: Armed and masked federal agents stepped out and said Hassane’s name. They were here for him. “There’s a baby in the car,” Barry told the agents. “There’s a baby.” Agents shattered his driver’s side window. Glass sprayed over the baby’s car seat, Nene Barry said. Her husband was arrested and pulled into an unmarked police car. Officers left the scene in a matter of minutes.

Shattered glass sprayed across an infant by a federal paramilitary -- that's what's going on in Portland as Susan Collins does her damnedest to funnel more $$$ to ICE. (Even as other Republicans draw a line in the sand).

A poster that says: Service industry strike to demand ICE OUT of Portland. Friday, January 30th, all day. In solidarity with immigrant service industry workers & immigrant-owned businesses.

I'm seeing more and more businesses supporting Friday's strike!

Mayra Vaca Latacunga was released yesterday with an ankle monitor but has been scheduled for an "immigration check-in" tomorrow. We know how those go under this regime.

Abolish 🧊.

Abolish 🧊 now. Bring Mak home to his wife and baby.

Abolish ICE now. Justice for Anadith. 💔

Ah yes. They took care of the real threat. Excellent.
