PORTLAND FARMERS' MARKET starting outdoor season this weekend. Always a good sign after a long snowy winter.

The Maine Senior Farmshare program returns and the market still offers a 100% match for SNAP and EBT with Maine Harvest Bucks tokens for produce.

ILAP Applauds the Maine Legislature’s Passage of Bill to Keep Maine’s Public Schools, Hospitals, and Libraries Safer from ICE and Border Patrol — ILAP Maine ILAP applauds the Maine’s legislature’s passage of LD 2106, a critically-needed bill aimed at protecting Maine residents and workers from unchecked immigration enforcement at sensitive locations inclu...

The legislature also passed a bill to add protections to sensitive locations and make it clear that immigration enforcement can’t enter certain places without a judicial warrant #mepolitics

IMPORTANT: Under federal law, it's very hard, at times near-impossible, to sue federal law enforcement officers for civil rights violations. But legal theorists have said for decades that there is a possible way to sue under state law instead.

This is a VERY big test case.

How many times does this need to be said: the USPS is not a business and it shouldn’t be run like one.

It’s a PUBLIC service and should be managed and funded like other public services.

Privatisation is not a solution to the issues the USPS faces, which were mainly created by Republican admins.

Every child deserves to feel safe and welcome.

Iirc, he said in an interview that he only took the contract because when his former CO suggested it he told him upfront that it was a no action driving/ body guard gig.

@shennabellows.bsky.social has continually set herself ahead of the gubernatorial pack in these forums with her excellent answers and composure. I'm excited to rank her first in the primary.

Hancock County Food Drive | hcfooddrive

APRIL 4-11:

HANCOCK COUNTY FOOD DRIVE is an annual food collection and fundraising project that supports food pantries, free meal programs, and school backpack programs across Hancock County.

Food security organizations in Downeast Maine collectively serve more than 10,000 individuals per month.

It was very interesting and clarifying! You've always seemed very knowledgeable of the campaign process and this new role as a CM is well suited to that. I hope it gives you a better shot at running for something next time if that's what you want to pursue. I think you'd be good in the legislature.

Great article on how experts count crowds, how it's done when done well, how wrong the numbers are sometimes, and why, and to who, accuracy can be important.

Don’t let No Kings be your final destination. Use it as a starting line. 🧵

Please share.

I don't remember which site she said it on, but she said she isn't continuing to campaign past the primary unless she wins the nomination. So she's only trying to be a write-in for the primary ballot.

The December one if you or anyone else is interested: drive.google.com/file/d/13_3h...

Thursday's forum is posted to Sunlight Media Collective's and Wabanaki Alliance's Facebook pages. It was interesting to hear from the independent candidates. Bennett and Jackson shared a fistbump, haha.

I concur with your assessments. I'm ride or die for Bellows, so she's my #1 ranking. Did you also see the Kennebec Co. Dems debate from December and the Wabanaki forum from March 19th?

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside.

On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors.

She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.
