Indigenous People Are Leading the End of the Fossil Fuel Era in the Amazon | Opinion
The path forward is simple and urgent. Governments must declare the Amazon and Indigenous territories no-go zones for fossil fuels.

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.
Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

#MEpolitics: To be clear, I’ve heard from multiple state legislators that have said, in no uncertain terms, that progressives should not allow Gov Mills to use this as a political win to help her Senate campaign—she has *not* been an ally, she has been a barricade.
And my experience backs that up.

#MEPolitics: Gov Mills—as has been the case with most progressive legislation adopted under her tenure—had to be pushed kicking/screaming into doing the right thing.
Wonderful work from many advocacy organisations and state legislators, including my Rep. Ambureen Rana, and @mainepeople.bsky.social!

Some good news. Gov Mills won’t veto the bill that stops local Maine law enforcement working with ICE/CBP. And she’ll (finally) repeal a LePage executive order that required enhanced cooperation with those those agencies. #mepolitics

#MEpolitics: My state Rep. Ambureen Rana’s legislation (LD 1259) which would place more restrictions on Maine law enforcement involvement in federal law enforcement action was tabled earlier in the year, largely due to opposition from Gov Mills.
We should continue to advocate for its adoption, too!

When I’m in the Senate, I will fight tooth and nail to ensure that every Mainer has health care.
Republicans had a chance to extend the ACA tax credits, ensuring that millions of Americans won’t see their health care premiums skyrocket — but they’d rather listen to Trump and leave you with the cost.

With a rogue SCOTUS majority, I expect “pack the court” will rapidly become a mainstream position.
The Supreme Court just handed Texas Republicans at least 2 more House seats & possibly up to 5 despite the state GOP explicitly justifying their remap based on an unconstitutional use of race in redistricting.
Unsurprising from this court, and it's a bad sign for the upcoming Voting Rights Act case

BREAKING: Supreme Court sides with Texas Republicans in fight over congressional map. The new gerrymandered map will be used in the 2026 midterms. The vote is 6–3, with the Republican appointees siding with Texas.
