Thank you, Sanford City Council, for unanimously approving the data center moratorium last night - and to the citizens who worked so hard to make it happen! Now we have time to put ordinances in place to protect our city from the devastating environmental effects these centers can cause. Well done!

I join union nurses in calling for Debora Kapisha's immediate release from ICE detention. To those who can make it, I encourage you to join Maine union nurses for an emergency demonstration today at 10:30 AM outside Maine Medical Center in Portland.

I’ve learned through my union brothers and sisters at the Maine State Nurses Association that one of their colleagues, Debora Kapisha, has been detained by ICE. ICE plans to transfer her to Louisiana, where she’ll be even farther from her family, legal counsel, and support systems. Debora is a medical-surgical nurse at Maine Medical Center. Her colleagues describe her as an amazing nurse and a kind, supportive coworker. On top of it all, she is legally authorized to live and work in this country. She should be at work today assisting Maine patients and their families. Instead, she’s being held captive by the Trump administration. This is what happens when a rogue agency is granted free license to carry out a racist, authoritarian agenda without restraint. We must abolish ICE, not give them tens of billions of taxpayer dollars to bring terror to our streets. I join the Maine State Nurses Association in demanding Debora’s immediate release from ICE detention, and I call on Maine Medical Center to take immediate steps to formally sponsor her for permanent residency. I cannot imagine what Debora is going through right now, but I’m inspired by the swift action of her union. To those who can make it, I encourage you to join Maine nurses for an emergency demonstration this morning outside Maine Med. Solidarity forever. Solidarity forever. Troy

Kind of funny when the whole country knows Susan Collins' game and that of the GOP, how they try to play it off as she's actually concerned, and think we don't see through it. Remember: ICE is her running mate. Trump is her political director. Musk is her financier. #VOTEherOUT #MEpolitics

"Guess Senate Republicans have the votes," one critic said after Maine's Republican Sen. Susan Collins—who is facing Democrat Troy Jackson in November—said she would vote against Todd Blanche for attorney general.

Worth reading, reading again, then keeping in mind whenever consuming what the widening web of corporate media is trying to feed us. "...to ensure control of mainstream discourse and the information diet of politicians and parties." Check too, for @sarahkendzior.bsky.social's comment.

Jared Yates Sexton@jysexton.bsky.social · 17h ago

Corporate media in the age of monopolization isn’t worried about ratings or views, those are secondary to appealing to oligarchs and corporations who will supplement lost viewership in order to ensure control of mainstream discourse and the information diet of politicians and parties

Once again, @sydneymichalski.bsky.social, terrific writer about all things natural, sums up a lot of our feelings about the unnatural, often paid for, leanings of our infamous Sen Susan Collins, about to be unseated in November. #MEpolitics #VOTEherOUT #JACKSONforMAINE #Musk-You'reNotInIt

Sydney Michalski@sydneymichalski.bsky.social · 17h ago

Susan Collins will use her Todd Blanche vote to campaign like she cares about what’s right 🙄 But she’s still just what she’s always been - bought and paid for. I hope Mainers know that and are done with her - but this is what I wrote to the Portland Press Herald: 1/ substack.com/@sydneymicha...

Like Troy said about himself, we've all: "been so waiting for a time when everyday people push back and say, y'know what, this is not working. I don't care about the wealthy. It's the rest of us that need a break. Now is OUR time." Troy Jackson for Senate. #MEpolitics #MEsen #JACKSONforMAINE

Troy Jackson@troyjackson207.bsky.social · 17h ago

Our fight has never changed. From universal healthcare to reproductive rights to dependable childcare, now's our time to say to the system: This isn't working.

Sen. Susan Collins could cast the deciding vote on Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general, as advocates warn that confirming Trump’s pick would put accountability for ICE abuses at risk — including the investigation into the death of a Maine father.

With the Senate expected to confirm Todd Blanche as the next U.S. Attorney General this week, pressure from watchdog groups is mounting on Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who may cast the deciding vote. ...

. MAINERS: Now that Todd Blanche confirmation has been advanced by the Judiciary Committee, it will come before the Senate. Call, write, email, and stand outside Susan Collins offices to let her know if she votes to confirm, she will forever be tied not only to ICE but to the Epstein mess, too.

Dr. Jack Brown@drjackbrown.bsky.social · 23h ago

Any Senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche is also siding with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell – and is actively participating in covering-up their numerous and heinous crimes.
