Ice alert Portland, Maine Confirmed We love our neighbors. We love our community.

“We want to be assured that Maine plates will not be used for lawless purposes” after Customs & Border patrol requested confidential plates. I am proud of my Secretary of State and friend @shennabellows.bsky.social. She repeatedly defends our rights.

I can’t imagine giving a speech on the Senate floor about unchecked power, and then choosing to funds the instrument enforcing a lawless administration. This is not a game and recognizing when you do not have the lens is not weakness but is leadership. @senangusking.bsky.social consult the people.

Who is advising @democrats.senate.gov on this? And @senangusking.bsky.social, ICE is planning to invade Maine. Don't give them more money to terrorize your constituents. Take money away from Miller and his thugs (he got $170 billion last year) to pay for health care and housing

Important question. Mainers don’t want Schumer.

WATCH: "If they plan to engage in provocative actions, if they plan to deprive people of civil rights, civil liberties on our streets, and our cities and towns, they're not welcome here. Those tactics are not welcome," says Gov. Janet Mills as Maine braces for new ICE operations.

He’s setting the narrative. Do not be fooled.

this is what america needs rn

Around 12 my phone went into SOS mode. I’m fine but I was reading reports of sightings and thinking about people trying to reach their families. And then I realized I should mark this moment because it is an SOS to people outside of this country. It is an SOS for this country.

Way to lead @rweingarten.bsky.social !

👀 “Grocery prices rose at their fastest pace in three years last month” If it’s the economy stupid … www.axios.com/newsletters/...

Elizabeth Warren is a shell of her former self. It’s sad to see.

“At one point, 3 men from [DHS] …told me that they could offer undocumented family members of mine legal protection if I have any (I don't), or money, in exchange for giving them the names of protest organizers, or undocumented persons. I was shocked, and told them no.”

This is what happens when journalists decide their role is to police some imagined middle zone that exists halfway between the right's and left's arguments.

"There can be no accommodation of a security agency that targets the public. Any politician or take-merchant who seeks such accommodation [read: cowardly moderate Democrats] brings us closer to the day when ICE puts three between the eyes of someone you love." @attackerman.bsky.social ter

Amy Klobuchar - a "Senate Democrat" - who is thinking for running for Minnesota's governor (and maybe fancies herself as a Presidential nominee someday) votes for a Trump judicial nominee a day after Trump's ICE murders a woman in her home state.

I’m so grateful for this wheelchair. I can sit and talk. I can do more without over-exerting myself! Holy shit!!!

We are sent here and D.C. to fight for the rights and protections of our constituents. If in that fight, we aren't reelected, so be it. We must do our best. Today, again, it is our responsibility to defend our nation from tyranny.”

This was my way of giving back to the community today. I’m so grateful to be alive. I’m so grateful to have friends who speak truth to power. I’m even more grateful when they hold leadership positions & do the hard work of truth telling.

Rep. @rafaelmacias.bsky.social words are a guide: For all elected officials,then & today,we must remember that we aren't sent here to raise money to fund in a fight for our political careers. We aren't sent here to defend our party leaders and colleague guilty of crimes. 1/ wgme.com/news/local/t...

We need a game of “where’s congress.”

Today!

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Extremely disappointed in @markey.senate.gov who is not stepping down to let others run. He's been a good senator but it's past time for him to make way for others. Shame on all these Democrats who are hanging on for dear life, leaving all of us vulnerable and refusing to build a bench.

Trump Snaps Up Stakes in Private Firms from Intel to US Steel Trump admin is trading taxpayers billions for company ownership stakes—& this unusual, strategy-free & lawless practice is increasing www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u... so is our monster rapist felon potus rebranding communism as extortion?

I got a text from a friend asking me to brainstorm. Might I be interested in brainstorming? Have you met me? Brainstorming is my soul food. Just let me enjoy dancing with a vision of a beautiful tomorrow and I will be grateful at the chance.

After the vote condemning socialism, it is interesting to observe this media tour a bit. Perhaps he is trying to teach people what democratic socialism is or he is trying to care for the community he represents. It’s beauty blowing in. May people demand more. Meet the moment or get out of the way.

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

So proud of our work at Maine AllCare on private equity in healthcare in Maine. There is lots more to do, but it’s a start. mainemorningstar.com/2025/11/21/r...

Let me guess. Vance says we shouldn't criticize the crude fantasies of "young boys? And people will blame "violence on both the right *and* left? Amirite?

“Roberts has been embedding white-dominant authoritarianism into the country’s source code for two decades. It’s impossible to imagine today’s crisis without the Roberts court having first undermined the foundations of our democracy.” This all on the leader of the MAGA #scotus ↘️

Nurses in Houlton Regional hospital are on a two day strike for safer working ratios and patient care improvements. They strike for the health of the people and we support them. Send a letter in support them and tell Jeff of Houlton regional to stop being a bully! act.nnu.org/letter/email...

I just received my health insurance open enrollment. Employee + spouse: $$525.09 Family: $702.97 I make $823.13 per pay period!! How tf am I supposed to also pay medical bills, utilities, rising grocery costs, gas, etc? And our president’s only concern is himself?? #SaveHealthcareNotPedophiles

I sent in the letter. I am an RN from Michigan. We did a 3 day strike this summer for the same issue. We will probably end up doing an unlimited strike this winter sometime. I will be purchasing an extra pair of snow pants just in case. Stay warm. Union Strong 💪.

Who is advising Marjorie Taylor Greene? Who is coaching her? Is this her strategy and her messaging?

The many can and will defeat the money. It is people in union, and in unions, that will fell this regime. And then the people running our lofty "institutions" will have no choice but to follow.

Four things I would change about this post: I’d use identity first language, I would have said relentless advocate for disability justice instead of disability rights, I would describe her as Asian in the alt text, and she didn’t have muscular dystrophy

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

Accessibility isn’t optional. Inclusion is a value. @grahamformaine.bsky.social chose inclusion & has ASL at town halls. The DOJ & the White House chose exclusion & are telling people who are deaf & hard of hearing that they don’t matter enough to be communicated with.

INCREDIBLE NEWS!

Democrats are far from perfect. The GOP is out to kill you and then dance on your grave.

If you plan on amplifying protest when seeking office you damn well better thank those protesters when you’re serving. But if you only lift us up during an election season, that is not respect that is using us. Thank us for our labor. honor our work. Respect the movement.

#MEpolitics: Angus King is making a private appearance at Colby College after capitulation to Republicans, abandoning the fight to save our healthcare, and ensuring the suffering of millions during the shutdown was for nothing. RAPID RESPONSE PROTEST Today, 3-4 PM Elm Plaza, Waterville
