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.

#ResistanceRoots Major General Smedley Butler was born on this day in 1881 in West Chester, Pa. One of the most decorated figures in U.S. Marine Corps history, he transformed into an anti-war activist and whistleblower. He exposed a plot by wealthy men to overthrow FDR and install a dictator. /1
Brigadier General Smedley Butler in uniform, ca. 1921-1929. Butler’s transformation from a decorated commander into an anti-war activist was not caused by a sudden epiphany. His final year in the military soured his view of institutional power, and his retirement freed him from military censorship. While active in the Marine Corps, he was bound by military discipline and could not publicly criticize the government. Free from the threat of a court-martial, he began using his retirement lectures to unpack the moral rot he had witnessed throughout his 34-year career.

Hi, Donald. Mainer here.   You did not, in fact, “have to go to Japan” to get a Maine lobster. We sold millions. Our fishery is quite valuable.   It’s a pretty big reason people come here, in case you didn’t know!   If anything is hurting our lobstermen, it’s inflation (which you apparently “love”).
