Graham has my complete, wholehearted endorsement to replace Susan “I am very concerned but will do nothing about it” Collins in the US Senate.

Please read this article and visit his campaign site to find out more about he plans to actually help Mainers and fight the fascist Trump regime.

If you haven’t yet called and/or emailed your House Representatives to tell them in no uncertain terms that they must vote NO on the monstrously ugly reconciliation bill, you still have time!

Start with the “moderate” Republican Reps and work your way down to Democrats.

We CAN stop this calamity!

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.

Make it make sense.

In a country full of Tom Cruises, be a Pedro Pascal.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that *you* are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back?

The answer is due process.

A request from @mainepeople.bsky.social to help stop ICE from contracting with local law enforcement in Bangor.

At the April 14th Bangor City Council meeting, MPA members urged the city to pass an ordinance banning these contracts, like Rep. Rana’s bill (LD 1259) would do statewide.

House Republicans just rammed through the #SAVEAct - a dangerous bill that would make it harder for eligible Americans to vote.

As the top election official in a state with one of the highest voter turnout rates, I can tell you with certainty: This bill solves nothing and helps no one. #mepolitics

Ban members of Congress and senior White House staff, including the President, from trading stocks for a year prior to and after holding office or accepting a position in government.

Require all government workers to divest from business interests and transfer assets to blind indexed trusts.

As it turns out, pathogens don’t care about conspiracy theories.

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

Lubec, Maine: Easternmost town in the US, population of 1200, turnout of 100+ at the local "Hands off" protest. Well done!

We need more of this please.

Bangor Democrat proposes ban on Maine police contracting with ICE agents The measure comes as the Trump administration faces accusations of unlawfully detaining an asylum-seeker in Maine.

The measure comes as the Trump administration faces accusations of unlawfully detaining an asylum-seeker in Maine.

I'm Shenna Bellows, and I've fought for the people of Maine my entire life, from the campaign for marriage equality to the ACLU to the office of Secretary of State.

Today, I’m proud to announce that I’m running to be the next Governor of Maine! bellowsformaine.com

THE REGIME IS DISAPPEARING PEOPLE—this isn’t just happening in other states, or on Ivy League campuses, or the streets of DC.

It’s happening in #Maine right now.

Please watch this (and Part 2) and read the articles in the replies.

And then call and write your reps to demand that this STOP NOW.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

The question I get asked most right now is, "So what can I do? What can I do?" And I'm going to be blunt about this. Never before in my life have I called for mass activism, but this is the moment. Take to the streets, protest, show up at town halls. Jam the phone lines in Congress, 202-224-3121, and afford not a moment of peace to any elected representatives who are aiding and abetting Musk and Trump's illegal power grab. This is not a drill, folks. This is the real thing. Seize every megaphone you have. Go online and make a donation to the legal funds fighting Trump, to HRC, and to the candidates for Congress that vow to take this country backward. And don't limit your voice to the traditional political channels. Be like Lucy Welch. When JD Vance went to vacation at the Sugarbush Resort in Warren, Vermont, Lucy, who writes the Sugarbush Daily Snow Report, used her report to defend her diverse and wonderful community, ending by saying, "I am using my relative platform as a snow reporter to be disruptive. What we do or don't do matters." What we do and don't do matters. It matters right now more than it ever has before. When my future grandkids look back on this moment, I want them to know that my voice was one of the loudest in the room, screaming for justice and fighting against tyranny.

@parkermolloy.com published the whole transcript here, and it's bold and glorious and what a lot of us wish a lot more Democrats would say. www.readtpa.com/p/watch-illi...

Some Americans Have Already Been Caught in Trump’s Immigration Dragnet. More Will Be. Federal immigration authorities have a history of wrongfully detaining U.S. citizens. Advocates warn that the Trump administration’s immigration policies mean that more citizens will get caught up in…

“It’s really everyone — not just noncitizens or undocumented people — who are in danger of having their liberty violated in this kind of mass deportation machinery,” said Cody Wofsy, the deputy director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project.

Can confirm “State of Maine” hasn’t apologized. (As the official keeper of all state records and guardian of the seal ;))

“You see, we human beings are not born with prejudices, always they are made for us. Made by someone who wants something. Remember that when you hear this kind of talk. Somebody’s going to get something out of it, and it isn’t going to be you.”

I encourage everyone to watch this in its entirety.

The Constitutional Crisis Is Here By shipping men to a Salvadoran prison without due process, the Trump administration has begun defying court orders in earnest.

When you really distill down what's going on here, the president is asserting an unreviewable power to seize any person off the street and ship him to a dungeon abroad. The constitutional crisis is here. ICYMI @corbinkbarthold.bsky.social:

Important. Either Trump is so far gone mentally he doesn’t know what he’s doing, or people are acting in his name without his knowledge. This was an order with enormous implications, and the President of the United States says he didn’t do it.

TODAY: Who is joining me and fellow anti-fascist, pro-democracy Mainers at the (likely Empty Chair) Town Hall for @golden.house.gov at the Bangor Library from 4-6 PM? #MEpolitics

Because it’s not about policies that make lives easier or safer, it’s about restricting access to voting.

State Dept removes coverage of the majority of humans from its human rights reporting.

We have arrived at the phase of the fascist takeover in which the regime is directing LE agencies to classify discovered criticism of Trump by foreign nationals—likely unconstitutionally acquired—as “terrorism”.

If no sanctions follow, ANYONE can be seized, expelled from the U.S. & dropped in an offshore prison faster than a court can exercise jurisdiction w/o consequence for the govt.

It won’t matter if you’re a US citizen. No facts will matter b/c no court can hear the facts before your plane is abroad
