Portland, Maine showing up once again!! #NoKings

See you in the streets tomorrow, America. #nokings

Since Trump fired everyone ahead of hurricane season, we figured he needed help delivering this message so we showed up at FEMA HQ to help out. #MakePollutersPay #NoFEMA #ClimateJustice

This is...not a Kathy Hochul many New Yorkers have seen before.

Just an appreciation post for Jacob being on the scene. In the absence of this reporting it would have been he-said/she-said. The sheriffs attacked peaceful protestors including kids with flashbangs, tear gas, and rubber bullets. We need more peaceful protest and more documentation on the ground.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*

In the words of @pingree.house.gov “Holy shit, Portland, look at all these people!” I love you, Maine. #NoKings #NoKingsDay

Another sobering but helpful analysis

The #BillionaireTaxScam — Trump's "big, beautiful bill" — would be catastrophic for our planet and communities and ruin millions of lives. We must defeat this extreme bill. 📱 Call your senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to stop the billionaire tax cut.

Is there a “Team Abundance, With a Few Minor Caveats re: Less Being More Sometimes (ala energy efficiency, etc)”? That’s me, Team AWFMCLBMS. 😀 Because yes, we desperately need more housing, transit and clean energy built much faster than the current systems allow.

Not too shabby, Maine! Especially for a holiday weekend and less than 2 weeks of planning! 💪✊🌈💪✊🌈

More than 1,500 protest Trump policies in downtown Portland

Video from today's protest in Portland's Monument Square

"If today the Executive claims the right to deport without due process and in disregard of court orders, what assurance will there be tomorrow that it will not deport American citizens and then disclaim responsibility to bring them home?"

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Thousands showed up in Augusta today to say #handsoff !!!

Big turnouts for today's #HandsOff! protests nationwide, including in smaller towns and cities — here's Portland, Maine We have the momentum

Portland, ME showed up. #HandsOff

“The power of the people is more important and stronger than the people in power," U.S. Sen. Angus King told the thousands who gathered in Portland on Saturday to protest the Trump administration as part of national “Hands Off!” actions.

This episode was so timely and vital, both for putting a human face on government workers, and for highlighting the negative societal impacts of DOGE tearing down the federal workforce. Well done, @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social !

Heartbreaking and infuriating.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Really helpful and sobering recap of the current media landscape, and the hurdles we face in communicating truth. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

In accepting the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, Conan O’Brien delivered what amounted to a bristling attack on the current administration artfully disguised as a tribute to Twain.

Spread the word: On April 5, we’re coming together to say Hands Off! and push back against Trump’s unprecedented power grab. Join us for a national day of action: handsoff2025.com/?SQ...
