This thread has organizations you can donate to to help immigrants and fight ICE in Maine. I’ve included community support organizations at the end too. If you know of others add them to my pinned thread.
There are organizations helping get immigrants out of detention including projectreliefme.com and Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project ilapmaine.org. Those are two that need donations. I'll add the others.

Republican platform is now just covering up the Pedofiles and then boosting the halftime show of a guy whose lyrics are "I like underage girls” and then screaming at Olympians who maybe don't like when you kidnap people who speak the same language as the actual halftime performer

It should be faster to stop killing people than to stop feeding them.
The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children
“We cannot just abolish ICE!”

Bestie, you are older than ICE.

Don't forget: Last fall, Kristi Noem boasted that ICE would be "all over" the Super Bowl, and said only people who "love this country" should attend.

Now ICE enforcement operations there won't happen. It's very plausible ICE would face a hostile reception. 4/

This is an important excerpt from @gregsargent.bsky.social’s piece.

More people still support Trump and ICE than I would like, but it’s true that Trump and co assumed the manosphere would be with them unanimously. And that’s not the case.

Yep. The polling data we obtained shows that more than two thirds of young men disapprove of ICE enforcement and oppose deporting longtime residents with jobs and no criminal records:

Depending on the state this also prevents those convicted from voting.
Felony conspiracy charges are increasingly being used to quash protest, says a legal scholar. They are “now really effective at going after social movements and coordinated action amongst activists.”
In Bay Area, Felony Charges Against Student Protesters Prompt Free Speech Concerns
Local prosecutors are seeking felony-level charges against pro-Palestine demonstrators. Even if they don’t stick, critics say the response is harsh and could chill protests.

A reminder that he told his rallygoers while campaigning that they’d never have to vote again. Unfortunately the news, with rare exception, never took it seriously.
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) to ABC about Trump: "I think he intends to try to subvert the elections. He will do everything he can to suppress the vote. If he loses the vote -- I think the Republicans now expect they will get a drubbing in the midterms -- he will take action to overturn the result"

If you’re into books written by people instead of assembled by AI slop, I just finished this one, which is about a Black guy who quits the CIA to train Black freedom fighters in Chicago, and I can’t stop thinking about it.

It’s a blatantly racist administration.
Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) says he was uninvited from a bipartisan White House dinner for governors

"As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not"

They haven’t returned to soybean purchases at the past level. Farmers are still being hurt due to trump’s policies.
BARTIROMO: Do you have any estimate of when we're going to see that China trade deal in writing?

BESSENT: No. But I can tell you the Chinese have lived up to their end of the bargain. They have completed their soybean purchases. President Trump is the only world leader that Xi respects.

Criticising the actions of a group of people that are actively decimating the world with their wealth is not “dehumanising them”, please don’t be this wilfully disingenuous. I do not have time for it.

Imagine being so self absorbed and evil that you cannot understand you could easily solve world hunger, save the environment and be one of the happiest people in the world by doing so. But you actively choose to hoard that wealth and make yourself and the world miserable instead.
