This Thursday 7/17. Find your event. Raise your voice.

We are facing the most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations. The same forces that used violence against John Lewis are back, with billionaires’ backers and authoritarian ambition.

Why? Because Maine’s governor Janet Mills told him to his face she would obey federal and state law, not his bullying edict, and he snapped at her like he did at Zelenskyy and she said see you in court. So, being a thin-skinned hateful savage, he’s now collectively punishing/antagonizing Mainers.
The Trump admin canceled contracts with Maine's CDC supporting "enumeration at birth" -- the way 99% of American babies get their Social Security Numbers.

Now Maine parents have to visit field offices in-person to get their newborn SSNs

Why?

No reason given.
