A post that says, "Lion of the Senate incoming. We need more elected officials who genuinely despise the far- right agenda, & Troy Jackson does. He also has the heart of a poster, as that's one hell of a bit." The post is replying to a post that says, "lmao Troy Jackson trolled Republicans about logging policy in the Bangor Daily News come TS under the alias "Canadians for LePage." An included article reads, "Troy Jackson ran anonymous account to troll Republicans online | CNN Politics. In 2012, Troy Jackson had plenty to say about Maine politics.

The town of Scarborough, home of Maine's ICE facility, is holding a special session on Wednesday, July 29, at 5:30pm to issue a proclamation about ICE. Beforehand, there will be a vigil starting at 5pm for Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero and our neighbors who have been terrorized by ICE. Residents and local advocates have created a petition with demands the town can take that are evidence-based and legally supported. If you are from Scarborough or surrounding towns, please sign the petition and show up on Wednesday."

An Instagram post from the Maine Coalition for Peace and Human Rights that says: From a direct and reliable source, it was shared with a group of legislators last night that the SLG committee intends to vote 'ought not to pass' on LD1383 unanimously to kill the bill. This ignores the massive public support for LD1383, including 650+ written letters, 90+ in-person testimonials, and 350+ businesses and orgs calling for responsible investments. Send a letter to the committee to stop our funds to ICE and genocides- don't let them get away with this. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-the-committee-the-whole-state-is-watching-pass-ld1383

Mayor Mark Dion today issued the following statement in regards to the status of ICE operations in Portland:⁠ ⁠ “I want to recognize our residents for quickly and loudly speaking out against the actions of ICE in our community, and for all the ways in which they banded together to support those most affected,” said Mayor Mark Dion. “I believe their collective work is what got us to this point.⁠ ⁠ That being said, even if it is true that ICE will no longer be conducting a major operation here, it does not make up for the damage already done – the constitutional rights that were violated, the families torn apart, and the many questions that remain unanswered. This will continue to have lasting effects for many of our residents.⁠ ⁠ It also does not mean that ICE agents are completely gone, and so I would encourage our community to remain vigilant and continue to look out for one another.”⁠ ⁠ #PortlandMaine #PortlandMe

The Maine Attorney General just set up an email tip line for anyone who’s seen possible civil rights violations or excessive force during recent immigration enforcement actions. If you witnessed something, they’re asking for the basics — time, date, and location — and to mention if you have photos or video (just don’t send the files). These reports could help with future investigations, and they’re part of the public record. You can send tips to citizenreporting.oag@maine.gov.

Screenshot of a Twitter post that says, "Pine Guard formation. Response to Maine Democrats. Enlistment details coming soon. Due to left-wing violence in Minnesota, we will be forming a unit called The Pine Guard. Everyone has the right to protest, but we will not be tolerating violence or obstruction in our state. Democrat Mayors and politicians have made it crystal clear that they will allow far left activists to act with impunity against ICE and immigration enforcement. Will be contacting anti-ice organizers with a warning. Maine will not tolerate lawlessness. Any assaults, property damage, theft, impeding officers, or violence toward counter protests will lead to the deployment of the Pine Guard. Pine Guard will have undercover units within the left-wing. Their mission will be to observe, document, and protect peaceful counter protesters. While our local PD has their hands tied by Democrat Mayors. Any criminal or violent behavior will be documented and the individual will be named publicly with other information. It is not the role of the pine guard to physically confront the far-left socialists, but instead to expose them. Maine will not allow what happened in Minnesota to happen here.

A screenshot of a script from indivisible org that says, "Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City, State]. I’m outraged that the Trump administration is pushing us into war with Venezuela. They’ve escalated military pressure and taken over Venezuela without a clear plan for transitioning power. All without authorization from Congress. Your constituents do not want another endless war. We do not want more violence where US servicemembers and civilians are put in danger, just to serve Trump and his Big Oil cronies. Congress must reassert its war powers. We’re counting on you to stand up to Trump and put a check on his power grab immediately. Thank you."

Via Friends of Acadia: during the shutdown, Acadia National Park is unable to collect entrance fees. This puts significant park revenue, essential for next year's operations, at risk. Visitors can help support Acadia by donating the value of an entrance fee at: friendsofacadia.org/entrance

A poster saying, "okay, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel. The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact? See if you have a Sinclair or Nexstar station in your area. Watch the local newscast tonight or sometime this week. Note the companies that bought TV adverts. Call them and let them know that you will boycott them until they quit supporting that Media company. Trust me. I worked in TV for 45 years. Nothing you do will have greater impact. Nothing. This is a much more effective tool than canceling Disney. We did cancel Disney but calling Joe's Jeep dealership who is buying ads on the local nexstar station will have a big impact. Joe doesn't need that grief. He will find another station to buy adverts on."
