I hate to be mean to a fellow writer, but Lily King has gotta stop stalking me. I went to London, & there she was in the subway. Two weeks later I went to Paris, sat at a cafe, minding my own business.Turned around, and there she was. Jeeze, Lily, I luv you, man, but get a life! #maine #literature

The fix is in. Ghislaine Maxwell, transferred to a club med prison after Trump's lawyer met with her (and she likely spilled what she knows about Trump), is now being waited on "hand and foot" by guards and is getting her commutation application ready with help from the warden.

📌I can't tell you how much heart I am taking from these Jewish protestors who have marched on Trump Tower today to oppose the administration's kidnapping of Mahmoud Khalil, saying forcefully and rightfully, "Opposing fascism is a Jewish tradition." RIGHT ON ✊🏼

@pinetreeactivism.bsky.social Do you know anything about a Veterans March on Friday (the 14th) in Augusta? There's a nationwide move to protest in every capital but I don't know who's orgaizing the Maine one (if anyone).

Tesla is looking at opening a service center in Portland (35 Riverside Drive). Let's hope Portland residents make it clear how they feel about that.

Throwing sand in the gears of terrible machinery is also resisting.

Post on Bluesky from alyssaharad.bsky.social: "Listen, did you ever had a bad boss, a terrible person, at a job that you can't, for whatever reason, quit? Did you learn to delay, obfuscate, frustrate, and otherwise fuck up that person just to the line where you could keep your job? Congratulations, you have the tools to resist authoritarianism!"

Striking word choice in the NYT lead story on Trump's "Muscular Vision." Editors could have picked any adjective to describe his vision--Autocratic, Authoritarian, Strongman--but they went with the one that had the most positive connotations. Words have power. Use them carefully. shorturl.at/6ZtFJ

In a flurry of unilateral executive actions, Mr. Trump revived disputed claims of broad presidential authority from his first term — and made some new ones. Court battles seem likely.

Dear MAGA: Trump only ever had one use for you, he needed your vote. Whether he illegally overturns the Constitution or chooses to observe the Constitution, he never needs your vote again. You're no longer useful. He cares less what the fuck you think.
