The start of 2026 has been harrowing, ICE murdered Renee Good for being a witness. Trump abducted Venezuela’s president. The circle of who counts is shrinking fast. But. Remember. OUR paychecks fund this. OUR tax dollars arm these agents. And we have a say. We have to refuse to fund our own terror

To repeat myself: At this point, funding the US government is treasonous
at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

Personal note.

Last summer, when a handful of us in Maine started talking about what a Senate race would look like, I was very clear on one thing.

This would ONLY be worth doing if we could build something greater and more enduring than one campaign.

The last few days have brought new horror from the Trump administration. I’m mourning Renee Nicole Good. Federal agents’ violence against Americans is unacceptable, and we must hold the Trump Administration accountable for their lawlessness. We must stop ICE violence now.

DOJ has sued over 20 other states for sensitive voter info.

They're not getting it because Maine Sec'y of State Shenna Bellows, @shennabellows.bsky.social and other Sec'ys of State have said "Go jump in the Gulf of Maine" and No! Backed up by fearless @marcelias.bsky.social & Elias Law Group.
Trump wants YOUR private information - and his DOJ is suing states across the country to get it.

Democratic Secretaries of State are on the frontlines of this fight - and they won't stop until your sensitive data is safeguarded.

The Cowardice of Mark Zuckerberg: all too often the case with tech oligarchs.

As far as I'm concerned, it's yet another valid reason to dump Zuck and withdraw from all META platforms.

Millions have...and know there are other easy ways to communicate, advertise, find help groups, etc.

#RESIST
"I asked one former FWD employee the question I asked everyone I spoke to for this story: Did they feel Zuckerberg had lost his nerve, or did he never stand for anything in the first place? 'He definitely cared, and now he does not care.'"
The Cowardice of Mark Zuckerberg
He used to care about immigrants and Dreamers. Now he remains quiet when his voice would send a powerful message.

"We stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns."

An important interview from Jon Collins/MPR News with Becca Good, Renee Good's wife, who was in the car with Renee, in some of the vids sitting near a stoop afterwards, and has been largely overlooked 'til now, as far as I know.
Becca Good: "We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love...

On Wed., January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns."
On Wednesday, Renee Macklin Good was fatally shot by a federal ICE agent. Becca Good, her wife, shared the following statement with MPR News.

I've been thinking of this all day. She meant Renee Good's murder in Minnesota by an ICE agent, which I didn't make clear.

It tears me up to know folks are growing used to the violence, injustice, and evil horrors from this admin.

We must not allow ourselves to grow numb to it. To any of it.
I asked someone if they would like to go to the Monument Square vigil and protest today in Portland. She said:

"It's so sad to not feel shocked about such things anymore. Enraged anew, but not shocked."

This is where we are as a nation.
