MAINERS, HEADS UP:
Expect this here, too. Be on the lookout.
They're gonna look like I do in winter, tbh.
They may start dressing more and more like us and pretend to be delivery drivers, health care (as they did in Portland already).
Please give a listen, share, & be careful.

The temperature was 11 below this morning, but the sky was on fire. A metaphor about the soulessness of those who support the current administration's violence and lies, and the full hearts of the rest of us who are committed to resisting the violence and untruths while helping our neighbors.

Everything you need to know about ICE is here: "I asked the ICE agents if the victim had a pulse, and they said they did not know." Instead they were standing around counting bullet wounds. This is from a medical eyewitness:

Why do media companies print obvious lies from the propagandists in the Trump admin as if that is the “other side” of the story when you have objective, irrefutable evidence to disprove it? Traditional norms/practices don’t work with this regime. Why do you spread their lies?

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is:
In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

I’m so sad to hear that Ginny Oliver—known as the Lobster Lady—has passed away at the age of 105.
She was a true Mainer: salt of the Earth, hardworking, kind beyond words. I got to meet her a few years ago. Hearing her stories, seeing the passion she had for her work—it was an amazing experience.

ICE is using intimidation, harassment, and fear tactics against peaceful observers and protesters.
It is NOT illegal to record or observe ICE activity. Period.
Showing up at observers’ homes, calling their cell phones, and putting people on a “domestic terrorism” list are gross abuses of power.
