Third Act Maine

This is an admission of utter bureaucratic failure. This administration isn’t competent to root out fraud so they just shut down the whole program, punishing law abiding people along with the wrongdoers.

ICE agents wouldn’t provide their names. What are Maine's rules? Amid a national debate, Maine law enforcement identification practices are guided by individual department policies, not legal requirements.

#Immigration agents have come under fire for obscuring their faces with masks and not making it clear who they are and who they work for while detaining #immigrants at record levels across the U.S. Sean Scott sits down with @newscentersmaine.bsky.social to talk about what he and @krstnimg found.

STAND UP FOR SCIENCE!! NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION!

WE'LL BE JOINING THIS ON
SATURDAY MARCH 7 AT NOON

ON THE DAMARISCOTTA/NEWCASTLE BRIDGE

INVITE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME!!!!

Elon Musk's makeshift AI power plant generates sound and fury in Mississippi The 27 temporary gas turbines roar like jet engines day and night to power data centers, residents say.

very different. Families report nonstop noise, sleepless nights, and concerns about air quality. Property values are suddenly in question. Long-time residents say they weren’t prepared for heavy industrial activity operating around the clock in what had been a rural area.

In a quiet stretch of rural Mississippi, life has changed almost overnight. Residents who once enjoyed still mornings and open skies now describe a constant roar like jet engines running day and night. The source isn’t an airport or a highway.

... and this your mountainous inhumanity.

TONIGHT!

Epstein Files Are Missing Records About Woman Who Made Claim Against Trump

We seem to be nearing the heart of the story, and a lot will depend on the nerve of the journalists--NPR, the NYT, etc--to stay on this story relentlessly. Will they give it the same kind of coverage they gave Biden's age--i.e., full bore, around the clock, 50 opeds?

YouTube video by Third Act SoCal Videos Street Theater Protestors Lament Dodgers' Ties to Big Oil

youtube.com/shorts/mI2QH...

Lamentors, street-theater protestors, walk across the entrance to Dodger Stadium as part of the first national day of protest against sportswashing in US history, Feb. 17. They joined protestors in nine other cities marching against pro team sponsorships by Big Oil.

Is this actually happening? I keep thinking I will wake up from this nightmare.

The DIY solar hack arriving in US homes Americans are embracing easy, plug‑and‑play solar units that slash energy costs — even as Washington tries to slow the clean‑energy shift.

The Affordable Solar Act currently moving through the 2026 MD legislative session in Annapolis would enable residents to install these portable, balcony/plug-in solar panels.

NEW from ProPublica:

Guards at Trump's family detention camp are grabbing kids' writing, artwork, and crayons.

They've even taken one kid's drawing of Bratz dolls.

Opinion: Big oil should pay for the climate mess it has made “A superfund would give the state the resources it needs to reinvest in communities and make us all stronger before the next climate disaster hits.”

While LD 1870 wouldn’t hold big oil and gas corporations accountable for the lies they told, it would require them to pay us back for the damage that they caused, as well as "future-proofing" our infrastructure against the weather impacts of a warmer world.

NEW: ICE Confiscates Children's Letters at Dilley Concentration Camp. I've filed a FOIA Request to Get Them ProPublica recently published heart-wrenching letters from children at Dilley. ICE then raided the dormitories to confiscate and destroy those letters. I've filed a Freedom of Information Act Request.

Christ is not looking kindly upon a world that has children begging for Love and Compassion. 💔

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.

Jamie Dimon warns markets resemble pre-financial crisis era: 'I see a couple of people doing some dumb things' JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warned about financial risks at the firm's annual investor day meeting, its biggest event with members of the analyst community.

Funny thing coming from one of the top Wall Street execs.

“My own view is people are getting a little comfortable that this is real — these high asset prices and high volumes and that we won't have any kind of problem whatsoever." Jamie Dimon

He seems to say this isn't real. Notable.
