Portland, Maine plows their sidewalks, so impressed. We walked all over and it was easy after the storm..

I just received this request from a very trusted source in Maine for the immigrant community in Maine, many of whom are asylum seekers fleeing conflicts in countries such as Congo. There are requests for both funds and prayers. #AbolishICE www.givesendgo.com/helpcongoles...

Friends and comrades, I'm looking for help in finding paid work (contract, PT, and FT). I'm a generalist with 30 years of experience that allows me to help organizations to strategically solve challenges, develop strategy, raise funds, and do the "odd jobs" that often can't get done.

thanks to drug court, more women than ever are in jail and prison. wasn't that a good idea?

i have so much (bad) to say about alternative courts...the worst invention of well-meaning liberals. you lose all the protections of criminal court but somehow get more punishment!

"Abolish ICE" was submitted 9,200 times for Chicago's snowplow naming contest, records show. blockclubchi.co/3ZAnDTZ

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained. Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

democracy cannot exist within a surveillance state we lack the basic infrastructure to communicate freely, safely

This is the democratic opposition party in Italy protesting against ICE involvement in the Winter Olympics in Milan

If ICE can kidnap people from lobbies, protesters should definitely occupy their hotel lobbies. This is the new way to lobby IMHO #AbolishICE #JusticeForKeithPorter

Support for this group is vital to keeping our neighbors safe in Maine. We are already seeing families unable to make rent after missing work for fear of being snatched off the street. This is only going to get worse, and the groups on the ground doing this work in Maine do not have enough help.

The new awareness of the “lobby” as a (somewhat) public space where the secret police can kidnap your/my neighbors is not something I thought I would spend so much time thinking about, well, ever. But here we are in 2026 safety planning every move people make.

thank you to all the ordinary people who are putting themselves on the line for their neighbors. all of us deserve a better world than this and you give me hope we can make one

"Legal observers in Maine [..] say they've been receiving threats from masked agents at their own homes." "[T]he agent told her 'this is a warning' and then added, 'We know you live right here.'" #Maine #USA #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

Sis went after him

This morning ICE attempted to enter into the Ecuadorian consulate on Central Ave but were barred from entering. I spoke with Ambassador Yanez this afternoon and they want to make sure the Ecuadorian community knows it’s still safe to come to the consulate.

Subtext: don’t fuck with the women of Maine

We're seeing the same thing here in Maine. People unable to buy groceries or pay for rent because they don't dare leave their homes. Mutual aid and non-profits are jumping in, volunteers are ready, but there's just so much need. My heart breaks and is full of rage at the same time.

"If you seek to harm Maine people you will have to go through me first" -- Janet Mills (State of the State, January 27, 2026) #mepolitics

Border Patrol agent shot a person in Arizona and left them in critical condition on Tuesday morning, local officials say, marking at least the sixth person shot by federal immigration agents in just three weeks.

watching the intro to state of the state and these commentators are really out-of-touch with what it means to live right now #mepolitics

The thing to know about authoritarian regimes is replacing a guy acting on the orders of the dictator rarely does much! You have to oust the dictator and then tear out the system like copper wiring

More mutual aid for kicking ICE out of Maine!

Boosting this because Maine needs help, too. I'm hoping their governor acts fast on an eviction moratorium, unlike @governorwalz.mn.gov who continues to be a disappointment to us all.

JUST OUT: We have put a call for Qs about local & state responses to ICE. We're hearing you ask variations of what could be done about instances of brutality, about how police helps ICE. So let us know anything you're wondering; we'll do our best to answer: boltsmag.org/send-us-your...

Sometimes I think about this for no reason whatsoever www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Geraldo Lunas Campos and Victor Manuel Diaz are among the 38 documented people who have died while in custody at jails and prison run by ICE and its contractors since President Donald Trump took office.

ABOLISH ICE, CBP AND DHS

They are escalators. More and more community members have been trained in deescalation techniques and it pisses them off so they work harder and harder to provoke in their job as violence workers. We must immediately #AbolishICE

Attempted kidnapping at the Ecuadorian Consulate #AbolishICE

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

Hey y'all! While the fight in Minnesota is FAR from over, I have been keeping an eye on Maine as well. I connected with the awesome folks over at No ICE for ME and got some links to share! The biggest one is the Maine Solidarity Fund. They are doing EVERYTHING right now. We just sent them $1000.

When you hear that 200 people were kidnapped in Maine, it's important to remember that only 1.4M people live in all of Maine. Maine is a rural state and our cities + towns value each and every one of our neighbors. Every single Mainer must be returned. #AbolishICE

troya is an incredible organizer, and this is well worth yr time if you’re struggling with how to work and exist right now. it sucks but you gotta start building support networks where you can and a union can be a decent way to align work and your values.

the CPS Board meeting is this Thursday at 10:30am downtown at 42 West Madison if you plan to go in person, remember you cannot bring anything to drink through security but you can bring your devices and file FOIAs of CPS using the CPS internet

It's impossible to express how it feels to repeatedly live through the exact same cycles over and over and over again. The reformers just consistently fucking everyone over.

abolishing ICE is not enough i need them to bring my neighbors back

"'General strike' is the phrase on everyone's lips." "University of Minnesota student unions have already called for a second shutdown on January 30." "Minnesota can't do this alone." #Minnesota #USA #Protest #Labour #Policing #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

Trusted friends in Minneapolis tell me that this fund is supporting many people but does not have enough money. If you can give, please do: chuffed.org/project/1671...

Alec Karakatsanis says both Fox News and even more "liberal" outlets like The New York Times have disseminated stories that create the illusion of a crime wave, when, in fact, U.S. crime is at a 20-year low.

The so-called “Democrats” need to realize that those of us who in the past voted for them (and worked our asses off to elect them) are also Democrats and IN NO WAY support these so-called “restrictions” The only way forward is abolition #AbolishICE

"Up to 380 people may have drowned attempting to cross the Mediterranean last week". The West's normalisation of the mass death of black Africans (because that is predominantly who these people are) will never be less than devastating.

I just saw a message in a large signal chat which would usually annoy me and I laughed thinking: what if some asshole is in here and this is all he is getting tonight lmao

this made me emotional

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis
