I was on an organizing call last night with more than 1500 people, with attendees (per the organizers) from all 16 counties. I'm sure things in Maine-- a state famously willing to take instructions from outsiders, especially when they drive badly-- will go about as well for ICE as they have in MN
BREAKING — Mark Dion, Mayor of Portland, Maine just released this media statement re: ICE coming to the Portland and Lewiston. He says "While we respect the law, we challenge the need for a paramilitary approach to the enforcement of federal statutes."

Full statement shared with me:

President Trump signed an executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship on day one of his administration — we sued within two hours.

Since then, we've taken over 230 additional legal actions against his administration, and we aren't slowing down.

'Musk described the explosion of one of his space rockets as a “rapid unscheduled disassembly.” He did the same with your government.'

Thorough review of the carnage
New, from me: A year in, did DOGE deliver on its promises?

Not the promises it made to us (cut spending, modernize government, improve services). It worsened state capacity.

But it was part of a successful broligarchy exercise in state capture. 🧵

She’s absolutely correct. As we said during George Floyd, white people to the front!!! We made this mess, it’s on us to take the necessary actions to fix it, and that includes taking the inherent risks that the mostly Black and brown activists have been shouldering for decades. It’s our turn.✊✊✊
Organizing will be the key to beating the fascists. This Minnesota protestor makes a lot of good points

It’s time to impeach. I have voted TWICE this year to advance Articles of Impeachment for Donald Trump. After a year of threats on our own soil and our allies—Republicans are finally talking about impeachment. It’s about damn time.

Mr. President, you have been duly warned—now by the GOP.

ok this is kind of funny
I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.

ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.
