I told someone today, “I’m kind but I’m not nice” and I think New England people inherently understand what I mean and folks from outside New England don’t.
Great turnout in Erie, PA for #NoKings! Happy to protest alongside my sister today. Democracy, freedom and revolution run in our DNA and we’re keeping the flame lit in our generation!
It’s Maine Maple 🍁 Weekend! Get out and support your local sugarhouse! Bob’s in Dover-Foxcroft and G&M in Charleston are two great options for a day trip from Bangor. At G&M they served us a sample of hot, fresh amber syrup right out of the sap boiler! The best I’ve ever had.
I’ve been wanting to try curling for ages and finally did it today! The Belfast Curling Club volunteers were super friendly and welcoming.
My wish for every Olympian is that they have the very best run, match, ski, or skate of their lives. I am cheering for absolutely every single one.

Bangor, Maine 1/25/2026 So proud of our community coming together on short notice to speak up against ICE and tyranny.
Single digits and a foot of snow on the way didn’t deter a couple hundred of our neighbors in Bangor, ME from protesting the murder of Alex Pretti by unlawful ICE agents. We stand against ICE brutality, from Maine to Minnesota!
Protest tomorrow, January 25th at Pierce Park, 1pm. If we say nothing, we are letting this happen so it’s important to take a stand against the #ICEHoles, call our reps and demand they #DefundICE. #TogetherWeCan #TogetherWeWill #HoldTheLine #MEPolitics #WeStandWithMinneapolis
