It's not a question of politics or party. Congress has a constitutional obligation to impeach and to remove a president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors and forsakes his solemn oath. And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.

President Trump and his cabinet secretaries are enamored with coal, a dying energy source whose operating costs outweigh the revenue it generates. So who’s asking for this? Hint - it’s not the average American.

Acadia National Park in Maine has removed educational signs about climate change, Indigenous history & ecology. www.mainepublic.org/climate/2025...

"Indigenous Peoples Day is about so much more than the name. It is about living our truth together and being better for it." By Maulian Bryant, executive director of the Wabanaki Alliance and a citizen of the Penobscot Nation in Maine. @bangordailynews.bsky.social

Here's a bit of Portland, Maine, for Indigenous People's Day.

Last week the administration removed information signs at Acadia National Park that mentioned climate change, endangered plants & Indigenous heritage. Someone felt compelled to create alternate signage -- thank you! #friendsofacadia #altacadianationalpark #altnationalparkservice #SchoodicInstitute

A bright red sculpture of 47 has appeared at a busy intersection in Manhattan, seemingly climbing out of a manhole. The life-size, red-coloured piece, titled "Donald," was secretly installed by French street artist James Colomina at the corner of East 42nd Street & 2nd Avenue. #art #streetart
