Day 30 of small resistance: the last day of the 30 days I’d promised to myself!

I do like this habit I’ve gotten into. Will likely continue, even if I don’t post about it.

Because really, there’s NO SHORTAGE of things to call about!

Day 23 of small resistance: aaaaand we’re back to the budget!

By all means, let’s definitely cut down on healthcare - the billionaires deserve a break 🙄

Day 22 of small resistance: firing half the DOE? Not cool.

Day 21 of small resistance: the US has so many beautiful national forests - would be a shame to turn them into lumber 🌲

Day 17 of small resistance: joining the US’s largest (and coldest) international women’s day dip!

Over a THOUSAND women showed up on the beach and went for a cold plunge!

What a feeling 🌊☀️❤️

Day 16 of small resistance: these tariffs are a tangible reminder of how unhinged this administration is 😂

I was encouraged to see Collins, Pingree, and King are already speaking out against said tariffs - go Maine!

And canada’s response has me more proud than ever to be Canadian 🇨🇦

Day 15 of small resistance: I’m halfway through my goal of 30 days of action… and honestly, I’m not sure if I feel better for having done *something* or worse because it seems the list of things to oppose is NEVER-FUCKING-ENDING!! 🤦‍♀️😅

Either way, (at least) 15 more days to go…

Day 14 of small resistance: NATO! Good lord, I thought being a good standing member of NATO was a given… but apparently not 🙄
March 7, 2025 at 12:14 AM
Day 13 of small resistance: VACCINES, people! I mean, come. On.

Seems the least we should be able to agree on is keeping accurate information available so people can make informed decisions.

Day 12 of small resistance: called Senator Collins and Senator King to ask they work to pass the supplemental budget in Maine… and make it one that protects access to healthcare, and ends tax cuts to the wealthy 💪
March 5, 2025 at 12:42 AM
Day 11 of small resistance: UKRAINE!! 🇺🇦

Of note, I’ve now talked with a real person TWICE at Senator Angus King’s office, and they’ve been lovely.

He also has an honest-to-god, done-in-his-own voice recording on his voicemail, which is always a nice surprise!

Day 10 of small resistance: called my peeps about this bill that’s deceptively framed as ‘protecting women’ but is really doing anything BUT!
March 3, 2025 at 12:19 AM

Day 8 of small resistance: participated in the economic blackout - no purchases today 💪
March 1, 2025 at 12:27 AM
Day 7 of small resistance: signed up for a volunteer shift with an INCREDIBLE local organization here (Maine Needs)

Check them out if you’re in Maine yourself - they’re the real deal

Day 6 of small resistance: called Chellie Pingree and thanked her for voting no against the budget proposal yesterday. Wish some republicans had joined her on the side of decency, but alas…
