Three new laws aimed at protecting Maine communities from Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s violent tactics take effect today. The laws, known collectively as ICE Out of Maine laws, are called ICE Out of Policing, ICE Out of Our Homes, and ICE Out of Schools and State Healthcare.

“As written, the SAVE America Act isn’t a simple fix to safeguard elections, as proponents claim,” wrote Murkowski. “It would impose costly new barriers and prevent some, perhaps many, from voting, while also creating chaos before the November elections.” Whoa, no shit.

NEW: If there were any Republican hopes that Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) might change her mind to vote for the SAVE America Act, she made it clear in no uncertain terms that she will never. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

One office investigates each use of deadly force by law enforcement in Maine, and the same office decides homicide charges: the Attorney General’s. Its findings on the July 13 killing in Biddeford are due by January 9, 2027.

NEW: Second video shows ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed

A great list of companies to boycott and protest if you're not sure where to direst that "No Kings" energy today.

Even if Platner's cooked, Dems still need to reckon with the fact that no one under the age of 55 is excited to get out and vote for Mills before they start taking victory laps. #mainepolitics

Little King Trump is scared shitless.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

I hope you're planning on getting your ass out there today.

🎵 I may not live to see our glory, but I will gladly join the fight. And, when my children tell my story, they'll tell the story of how I wasn't a fascist or a coward, and stuck my neck out for what's right. 🎶

We're back at it in Belfast for No Kings 2 on October 18! @hcrichardson.bsky.social I've been tasked by Indivisible Waldo County to invite you to join our speaker set! Since I don't have a direct line this is as official as I can get, so hit me up in the DMs if you can make it to Belfast. 🙏🙏🍦🍒

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Disgusting. Like watching someone rob your home right in front of your family and laughing about in your face about what a funny joke it is.

New: The Trump family is now worth an estimated $10 billion, having nearly doubled its net worth since last year’s election. @danalexander21.bsky.social, @kylekhanmullins.bsky.social for @forbes.com

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin? TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

"Gov. Janet Mills, following the president's directive, ordered the lowering of state flags until Sept. 14." If you think it's inappropriate to treat the death of an influencer who promoted racism, misogyny, and bigotry like a national tragedy, you should write the Governor and let her know.

Maine political leaders decry Charlie Kirk assassination

The assassination of right wing activist Charlie Kirk drew bipartisan condemnation from Maine's political leaders, who all warned against the dangers of politically motivated violence.

mainepublic.org

Trump: "Charlie was the best of America." Charlie: "Gay people should be stoned to death." "Women should be controlled by their husbands." "Black people were better off under slavery." "Gun violence is a reasonable price to pay for 2nd amendment rights."

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last yr.

Trump: "For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism we're seeing in our country & it must stop right now. My admin will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity"

We're working to make a big impact at the next #nokings event in Belfast. Mark your calendars! ✊

Someone's projecting pretty hard here... 👀

Trump's initial response to the dire jobs report is ... posting about Epstein

This is about to get ugly ‼️ DOJ caught on hidden camera admitting they’ll only redact Republican names from the Epstein files.
