Our cat, Shark, has escaped from our South Portland home on Bellevue Avenue, on the edge of the Piggery. She is a petite tuxedo cat, about six pounds, with white whiskers. She is approachable but will react better to women than men. No collar, but microchipped. #lostcat #lostcats #maine 2077997324

#Mainers, know and remember this.
... It was all performative. Murkowski isn't up for re-election until 2028, so her vote was needed. Collins is up for re-election in 2026 and her seat is needed by Republicans so she was allowed to vote no on the bill. To make Collins look like a moderate who isn't afraid to buck her party.

On FB, I'm watching in real time as someone I once thought of as an ally gets steadily radicalized (reactionalized?). Truly; she's chosen *this* moment. She's "gender critical" and thinks anyone who isn't has been "brainwashed" by mainstream media. She recommends we watch more Fox News. God help us.

Important thread. Federal grants are contracts,and this is nakedly illegal.
Groups across the country have received letters notifying them that their grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities have been canceled, raising alarms about serious harm to museums, historical sites, and a wide range of community projects.

Every single university president should be asked, in public, why they are not speaking out this way to support all the students currently detained without due process, and all those terrified that they will be next, on every campus in this country. Yes, including Columbia's acting president.
