An absolutely enormous march through Portland Maine this afternoon. No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here. But ICE is not.

Stephen Spencer Pittman 19, burned down the Beth Israel Synagogue in MS. He called it “synagogue of Satan" and bragged about setting the fire to his father, who called the FBI. This is the same synagogue bombed by the KKK in 1967, due to its rabbi's outspoken support for the civil rights movement.

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”… BULLSHIT. @repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition. This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

For shame Cumberland County Commissioners. Instead of listening to the community that turn d out in force tonight, they refused to end their contract with ICE. Cumberland County leaders reject proposal to end jail contract with ICE www.pressherald.com/2025/11/17/c... (Via Press Herald)

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish
