Received a notice ending your parole? Don’t panic. You may still have options. Don’t make decisions alone, talk to a trusted immigration attorney who can help you understand what comes next. #Parole #ImmigrationNews #KnowYourRights

Portland, Maine reporting in!

Belfast Maine represent! #50501 #HandsOff #indivisible

Joined the Aroostook Organizers for Change (AOC) in Caribou, ME, Sen Susan Collin's (R-ME) "home town", where 250+ took to the streets...We marched from Sen Collins' office, where voter registration was underway, to Rep Jared Golden's (D-ME) office and back...

Reportedly 250+ protesting outside Susan Collins office in her ancestral northern Maine hometown of Caribou (population 7,431) where her family and their business remain forces to be reckoned with. Trump won the county by 26 points in 2024. Big props to these folks. #MEpolitics

The fact that I know more about Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez’s 11-minute space trip than I do about Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s decades-long crime spree shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

“Department of Government Efficiency.”

Effishunsee.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

This from @jdcivicscience.bsky.social nails why small town, red America is not turning on Trump.

Can't confirm the below but comments along these lines surface often enough that it's hard to believe it's made up. Susan Collins's Bangor office in particular has a reputation for rudeness and indifference. #MEpolitics

Exclusive: Immigrants falsely labeled dead by the Social Security Administration are showing up at field offices with documents proving they are alive, leading staff to reinstate nearly three dozen people over the past week, according to records obtained by The Post.

Jared Golden -- who ran on holding town halls and then abandoned them when they no longer served his purposes -- lashes out at @indivisible.org as 70 Mainers protest outside his closed-door event at Colby. Great quotes! Leaked audio! #MEpolitics @ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski didn't say she's too scared by MAGA threats to do her job, that's not fair. She said she'll keep speaking. What she didn't say, but shows by her actions, is the job she's not to scared to do is caucus with Republicans, vote for Trump nominees, and bills that advance his agenda.

We've received reports that some people are having trouble finding events in their area for April 19th. You can check our website for events or look for your local 50501 chapter's social media and check their social media posts for event details. (1/2)

These folks are showing up for good trouble. Regimes can rely on the predictability of mass protests, but we're chaotic, feral, pain-in-the-ass Americans. 🦝🤘 I believe in us.

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

HHS set up a snitch line to report trans kids and their providers. You know what to do... www.hhs.gov/protect-kids...

AG Frey, we've heard of a few Maine kidnappings and we would stand behind you on this sort of move! 🐻 #NoIceWithOurMoxie #ShameOnWellsPD

I don't say this often, but we all need to be like Tennessee. This is the proper energy when kidnappers come for our friends and neighbors. Today is a good day to start mentally rehearsing scenarios and plans, if you haven't already. exploringyourmind.com/the-power-of...

"I literally drove my car to Canada for the weekend, and on the way back, I was treated like a criminal." 🇨🇦💔 Maine has right around 25 border crossings with QC and NB, and we all have friends and family on the other side of them. Your daily reminder that the fear is the point.

🚨 Waterville tomorrow! Let's show up in all our rabid glory. 🫎🐻🦊🦝 @indivisiblebangor.bsky.social

Angus deigning to take some (screened) Qs on Fri from a few of the folks who pay his salary. Hope King gets pressed on his incoherent explanation for caving to Musk/Trump, and why he keeps backing Trump nominees and isn't placing holds on them if he thinks we're in a rule of law crisis. #MEpolitics

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

1/ This has been in my head for weeks. In Federalist 8, Hamilton defends ratifying the Constitution. W/o a stronger gov’t, there will be war bet. states, & “to be safe, [people will] “become willing to run the risk of being less free” How “strongmen” take power. Stoke chaos. Grab power.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

🚨 THREAD ⬇️

When politicians say all Americans need to stop this…what exactly do they expect the rest of us to do while they speak into a mic? Folks are protesting, scrambling to manage the mess in their lives…but making those statements without putting your own skin in the game is patronizing to Americans.

At this point, nothing that man does is nuts. This is no longer 2015. Either we deal with that and what is or we'll continue focusing on how this isn't normal and is unprecedented, like we've done the last 10 years, while things get worse, not just daily, but hourly.

Think I'll post this again (and again)... Katherine Johnson, whose precise calculations helped ensure the success of the Mercury and Apollo space missions, including the historic Apollo 11 moon landing. #BHC #BH365

Join your local protest on April 19th. Spread the word.
