Retired and I live in beautiful Maine.
Will not obey in advance.
Firmly believe that Trump is not a King and ICE is slippery and dangerous.

Makes me proud to have been a sociology major.
I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.
Great work everyone.

I fear the Fifth Circuit has pretty well guaranteed that every detained immigrant will be shipped off to Texas or Louisiana ASAP.

BREAKING: Trump says he 'didn't make a mistake' with his racist video post.
Q: "A number of Republicans are calling on you to apologize for that post. Is that something you're going to do?"
Trump: "No, I didn't make a mistake."
He adds later: "I guess it was a take off on the Lion King."

Always a good idea to dress up in mismatched camouflage and battle gear when going out to do some property damage, eh?
Just gonna drop this photo of January 6 insurrectionist Jake Lang destroying a "Prosecute ICE" sculpture in Minneapolis. He's been arrested for this, btw.

This is illegal and, to make a tiresome point, is ipso facto not an official act. It is also just dumb and crazy.

Did you know Maine has a successful new program to help people who have been hurt most by skyrocketing rents? It's called the Eviction Prevention Program, and it's helping all across Maine.
BUT the legislature must act now to fund it!

Spurred by a desire to support their neighbors, people delivered groceries, offered rides, donated money and protested the federal immigration enforcement.

In college in the 70s, I advocated against the use of cluster bombs in Southeast Asia for months and months. I’ve never thought I’d have to think about that again.
The no-bid contract for the weapons known for high civilian death tolls is the largest of its kind in available government records.

This raid is creepy
Reviewing video from Fulton County elections raid.
Taken aback by the dismissive & sneering attitude from FBI agents toward the cop politely asking to see the warrant.
Looked him up: He's an immigrant w/ a doctorate in philosophy. His thesis? "Force by police officers toward African Americans."
