The fix is in. Ghislaine Maxwell, transferred to a club med prison after Trump's lawyer met with her (and she likely spilled what she knows about Trump), is now being waited on "hand and foot" by guards and is getting her commutation application ready with help from the warden.

My most recent review, a pure and unexpected delight from Maine author/illustrator X. Fang. #kidlit #booksky #maine #childrensbooks www.pressherald.com/2025/05/01/w...

Watching this video actually brought tears to my eyes. This is the way it's done. Bravo.

📌I can't tell you how much heart I am taking from these Jewish protestors who have marched on Trump Tower today to oppose the administration's kidnapping of Mahmoud Khalil, saying forcefully and rightfully, "Opposing fascism is a Jewish tradition." RIGHT ON ✊🏼

“World-famous Canadian murder mystery writer Louise Penny has cancelled a U.S. tour for her latest book, citing President Donald Trump’s repeated threats of a trade war against Canada and annexation.” #authorsky #booksky

@pinetreeactivism.bsky.social Do you know anything about a Veterans March on Friday (the 14th) in Augusta? There's a nationwide move to protest in every capital but I don't know who's orgaizing the Maine one (if anyone).

Courage and honor come in many forms.

Let’s go www.yahoo.com/news/no-amaz...

Tesla is looking at opening a service center in Portland (35 Riverside Drive). Let's hope Portland residents make it clear how they feel about that.

This is the way.

This is a great idea. I won't buy ANYTHING on Feb. 28. Anyone else in? 👇

Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) told President Donald Trump “we’ll see you in court” and said her state won’t be intimidated by his threat to withhold federal funds if it doesn’t bar transgender athletes from competing on women’s sports teams.

"See you in court." Trump tells governors to enact death penalty for drug dealers, confronts Maine gov minnesotareformer.com/2025/02/21/r...

So proud to be a Mainer today. Brava, Gov. Janet Mills! That's how you stand up to bullies! Take note, all you other elected Dems. x.com/i/status/189... #MainePolitics #JanetMills #GovMills

We each need to call our Congressional delegation every single day. Here's a GREAT APP for it: Go to www.5calls.org or download the app to your phone. Provides phone #s, tips on topics, etc. Please share this widely. #stopthecoup #resistance

The only way to impact your Sen. or Rep. is by visiting their office or phoning.Emails & letters are ignored.Form a habit of phoning them EVERY day--it takes less time than WORDLE. Call twice: 1st the local office, then the DC office. The brilliant "5 Calls" app makes it dead easy. shorturl.at/PzeD5

Throwing sand in the gears of terrible machinery is also resisting.

Striking word choice in the NYT lead story on Trump's "Muscular Vision." Editors could have picked any adjective to describe his vision--Autocratic, Authoritarian, Strongman--but they went with the one that had the most positive connotations. Words have power. Use them carefully. shorturl.at/6ZtFJ

Helpful!

Elon Musk is giving off a Dr. Strangelove vibe. #ElonMusk

#ERA Thank you President Biden. You can take FULL CREDIT for this

Dear MAGA: Trump only ever had one use for you, he needed your vote. Whether he illegally overturns the Constitution or chooses to observe the Constitution, he never needs your vote again. You're no longer useful. He cares less what the fuck you think.

Call me a sad excuse for a human being, but I count it a good week that sees both Jeff Bezos' and Elon Musk's rockets fail. #spaceXExplosion #BezosInfluence

Wow. Anyone else notice a big jump in their follower count over the last two days? Rumors that changes at Meta have fueled another Xodus to Bluesky seem to be true. #Bluesky #Xodus

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social. propub.li/3DGXECO
