So now because I'm having a lot of fun with this, explain how the straight header line physically gets farther away from the photo, while the top of the photo is perfectly straight, not wrinkled in any way...

There are many ways to resist. New monuments on the National Mall, for instance. 🤡🏆

A plaque that reads:

"IRAN WAR PARTICIPATION TROPHY

We hereby award President Donald J. Trump this participation trophy for his enthusiastic involvement in the Iran war. While some concern themselves with military strategy, diplomacy, or measurable outcomes, President Trump demonstrated the courage to participate regardless of the final score.

As the recipient of this prestigious award, President Trump joins the ranks of schoolchildren everywhere who received recognition for simply showing up.

We join you in celebrating this remarkable achievement."

From @mainepeople.bsky.social on IG, there will be a vigil in Lewiston tonight. ❤️‍🩹

A post with a blue background and white text that reads:

"Vigil for Juan Sebastian Guerrero
Tuesday, July 14
Together, we will grieve, pray, and reaffirm our commitment to justice, dignity, and accountability.
We call for a swift, transparent, and independent investigation into this tragedy. All are welcome.
Location: Kennedy Park in Lewiston, 5:30 PM"

But look at it up close- especially his shoulder and the section title above the photo. The corner is rounded... It just looks off.

We grieve today. Joan Sebastian Guerrero was 26. He was a husband, a father, and a neighbor. 💔

Via the Maine Coalition on Peace and Human Rights on IG (www.instagram.com/p/DU3Xj0qEU7a). If you haven't already, now is the time to get on the record to oppose this action. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

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.

The Boundary Waters vote has been pushed back. 🏞️ I'm at the point in this journey where I just want to call and scream, "Stop 🦆ing up EVERYTHING good in the world!!!" but here's a better sample script to follow. (202)224-3121 Via www.instagram.com/p/DUoaGMCkqfb

A photo of a lake at sunset that says, "Senate pushes back vote to overturn 20-year mining ban protecting the boundary Waters"

A sample script that says:

My name is [name] from [City, State].

I'm calling to tell Senator [name] to vote no on the resolution to undo the 20-year mining ban and protect the Boundary Waters.

The Boundary Waters is America's most visited wilderness, and a place I value and want to see protected. This resolution would open up the headwaters to toxic copper mining by a foreign company.

Once again, I'm asking Senator [name] to stand up for public lands by protecting the Boundary Waters and vote no on the resolution to undo the 20-year mining ban.

Thank you.

Yes! Interesting to note the byline @mainepublic.org chose to use on Instagram versus on Bluesky. I'm a little surprised they weren't reversed.

A headline from Maine Public that reads:
Maine lawmakers consider moratorium on new data centers. State Rep. Melanie Sachs, D-Freeport, added the moratorium to her bill proposing a broad-based data center "coordination council" that would study benefits and risks of data centers in Maine and offer recommendations to local governments, utilities, and state agencies.

The news is dark, dark, dark this week. So we love this lighthearted resistance from designer Abby Haddican- the Times New Resistance autocorrecting font! www.abbyhaddican.com/times-new-re...

A post that says, "Do you have access to the computer of an ICE apologist, white supremacist, Republican mouthpiece, right-wing propagandist, or other morally bankrupt American? Install Times New Resistance and unleash some mischief. Free! Just like America used to be."

A post that says, "How it works: Times New Resistance autocorrects specific words as they are typed. For example, the word ICE auto corrects to 'the goon squad' and the word Trump autocorrects to 'Donald Trump is a felon.' Download- Distribute-Disrupt"

"...I would encourage our community to remain vigilant and continue to look out for one another.”⁠ ⁠ #PortlandMaine #PortlandME

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.”⁠

The Attorney General has set up an ICE tip line for the public to send them detailed "SALUTE" information on civil rights violations we witness. citizenreporting.oag@maine.gov.

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.

A message from MN (via rolling4liberation on IG) that we should keep in mind as ICE continues to claw at us, especially since we have neighbors in our communities who side with the invading horde. Watch. Trust your gut. Adapt.

With severe cold coming up this weekend, the Maine State Library is reminding everyone to stay safe. Many towns are opening their warming centers this weekend, and libraries often fill that role as well.

Portland gave us Amphipha🐸, and now Minnesota is responding with rallying logos that work great for us in Maine, too. Who's joining the rebel alliance?

For now, treat everyone at your door as an undercover thug until proven otherwise. 😒

A screenshot of a post that says:
"🚨🚨Holy hell. Oregon officials say ICE agents have been posing as utility workers to get people to open the door. A state lawmaker says three people were detained this way in the Gresham area. That's not 'enforcement.' That's deception."

"Pine Guard," huh? The name is giving deodorant vibes. H/t to Project Relief Maine on IG for this heads-up. Junior Rangers, be prepared for harassment from the guys who couldn't even get themselves hired by 🧊. 🙄

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 photo showing a crow flying toward a red hat. Text reads, "Some folks want to befriend crows, or get them to bring trinkets. I have... other goals."

A screenshot of a post that reads, "Training crows to attack red hats training Post 8. This was it! Once the crows were starting to figure out that the hat had food under it, I started to take out the rings. This did not present a problem at all. Once I got to this point, I was able to even get footage of me setting the target out and them hitting it within a 2-minute window. I've paused a bit on really intense training, but we're working on some swooping exercises at the moment." Photo shows a crow sitting on a fence with a red hat in front of it.
