They privatized ICE for profit. 70%-75% of the ICE prisoners committed no crime but Geo Group still gets paid per body, per day. Geo group has been proven to have a lot of employees who sexually assault ICE prisoners. Geo Group is no.different than human traffickers and drug cartels.

Amen. Troy nails it. #MEpolitics

If you want to yell at Susan Collins, you better buy a $1,000 dinner. The last time she held a town hall, Bill Clinton was president. As Senator, working class Mainers will always have a direct line. Billionaires can call and talk to an intern for a change.

With Friday strike, over 200 people killed by US military in alleged drug boat strikes. Overwhelming consensus of experts, myself included, assess these to be murder because no armed conflict (and war crime if it were armed conflict). 200 killed also raises serious question: crime against humanity

@mikiesherrill.bsky.social this is not good

I love him. He is a smart smart guy. The brief rundown he does on globalization and MAGA in his standup is perfect.

@mikiesherrill.bsky.social go fuck yourself

This is an absolutely terrifying escalation by the regime. They have now criminalized our freedom to fight the crimes they commit against us and our neighbors. These protesters acted with extraordinary courage and moral clarity.

Israel is a terrorist state.

Susan Collins has one of the best performing stock portfolios in the Senate. That should be illegal.

Husband is making me listen to "The Last Unicorn" song while he cooks the last Clover Burger Box. Send help.

ICE is targeting journalists at Delaney Hall. They’re hitting photographers, breaking fingers and smashing off lenses.

People can’t afford food. People are surrendering pets. Long time small businesses are failing and closing due to costs. All because of Trump and the oligarchs.

days into a hunger and labor strike of hundreds detained in GEO Group-run Delaney Hall, people inside report beatings, rotten food, crumbling facilities, and denied medical care. protesters and organizers outside are confronting ICE in the Newark street. talked to a few about it: @us.theguardian.com

Shut down the concentration camps

🚨 “HOLY SH*T… SOMEONE IS GONNA GET KILLED.” 🚨 @jordanchariton.bsky.social is live outside Delaney Hall as agents push protesters into the street with trucks passing by. A protester says: “They pushed us into the cars pretty much… yesterday they pushed like three people into a semi.” WATCH LIVE ⬇️

I don't watch any of these, so this is easy for me. I'm an avid reader or an occasional Netflix watcher.

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

Unrelated to anything, everyone should join Storygraph. It’s so much better than Goodreads and not owned by Jeff Bezos

Daily Memo: Around 500 People Are Now On A Hunger Strike at Five ICE Detention Centers Across the U.S. It started with one man from Cuba at the Torrance County Detention Facility in New Mexico, who has been in ICE detention since last August. Full report: lataco.com/huger-strike...

Susan Collins has no Reddit posts worth pouring over...but she did this to America's women. Surely at some point the focus of ME-SEN coverage will turn to this topic for a bit, right? Right?!? #MEpolitics

“The conditions are brutal." Hundreds of detained immigrants are hunger striking against inhumane conditions. "It’s not hard to deduce that there’s brutality inside Delaney because the brutality outside the GEO Group-operated detention facility has been impossible to miss." ✍️: @tusk81.bsky.social

Well this is a big effing bummer: beloved local restaurant chain Clover is closing tomorrow. And it's a casualty of--yup, rising costs due to our idiot president and his pointless wars. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/26/b...

Fines. Fines for using your phone to listen to things without headphones on the subway. @mbta.com PLEASE.

Never forget that Susan Collins has killed women and endangered many more.

There is a reason why all the folks I know in Maine are supporting Graham.

Our country is running concentration camps

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.

This economy is so fucking broken

Obviously there should be some sort of means testing before they let you in to Home Depot therefore

ICE terror force

I’ve been thinking about which bottle of champagne to buy when it happens.

i don't care how often Trump goes to the hospital but i'm very interested in how many times he leaves

Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

Hello I am the president of a country whose economy depends on consumer spending. My two major initiatives so far have been a sales tax on everything and then a war that sent all prices skyrocketing

Remember when Melania Trump had the toilet replaced in the White House residence rather than use the same toilet as the Obamas?

Yet Janet Mills couldn’t sign a moratorium.

“A world-class Ebola lab in Frederick, Maryland, with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was designed for exactly this scenario. … But that lab was shuttered last year, with staff laid off abruptly and their work – key for preventing and responding to outbreaks – ended with no notice.”

On the tube

“Prolonged apnea is not compatible with longevity.” Let that calm statement from a hospice nurse be true.

This is not okay

Meanwhile I await my Soros check

So fun to read all the responses from the people who will not be voting in Maine and also don’t seem to remember that Susan Collins claimed Dr Ford couldn’t remember who assaulted her. Grow up. Susan Collins voted for women to DIE.

Last summer at my parents camp in Maine, I left my yarn on the deck. It vanished. We looked in the lake, in the woods, under the camp… The neighbor’s dog had it with her pile of stolen treasures. Recently uncovered. We actually suspected but who accuses a golden retriever of theft?
