#PortlandME - #JazzAtTheMovies film series
"#WMPG’s Jazz At The Movies team are pleased to present our first film of the 2026 season, the documentary 'Music Pictures: #NewOrleans'.
"Beautifully shot and recorded, the film is a loving portrait of four Crescent City jazz, soul, and blues legends, and a celebration of 100 years of New Orleans musical history.
"Directed by New Orleans native filmmaker #BenChace, 'Music Pictures: New Orleans' is a vibrant documentary exploring the rich musical heritage of New Orleans. It showcases the city’s diverse musical landscape, from legendary #JazzClubs to lively street performances, highlighting the influences of #Creole, #AfricanAmerican, and #French cultures, and how historical events, like #MardiGras and #HurricaneKatrina, have shaped the city’s music scene. Through interviews with local musicians and historians, Music Pictures: New Orleans reveals music’s central role in the city’s cultural and social fabric.
"The film showcases four New Orleans music legends: Grammy-winning #IrmaThomas 'The Soul Queen of New Orleans' ; #BennyJonesSr., the leader and drummer of the world renowned #TremeBrassBand; guitarist #LittleFreddieKing, the 'Last King of the Blues'; and the pianist and educator, #EllisMarsalisJr., patriarch of the famed jazz family, in what would be his last concert before his death. Music Pictures: New Orleans follows each of the four artists, one by one, as they talk about their lives, rehearse, and record a new album in the studio in early 2020s. By combining vintage footage with live interviews and rare backstage access, this film provides a wonderful snapshot of New Orleans as the home for so much great American music, from #soul to #BrassBand to jazz and #TheBlues. What better way to get ready for the Mardi Gras season!"

#PortlandME #ChildrensMuseum loses federal grant intended for #WabanakiHistory programs
by Gillian Graham, Portland Press Herald, Maine
Sat, April 12, 2025 at 4:06 AM EDT"The Trump administration has terminated a nearly $250,000 grant the Children's Museum and Theatre of Maine was using for programs about #Wabanaki culture and history.
"The Portland museum was awarded the money last year from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and was already deep in the process of developing a project that includes programs for schoolchildren and other visitors, curriculum support for teachers and a play adapted from a children's book.
"Then an email arrived late Wednesday night notifying Executive Director Julie Butcher Pezzino that the grant has been terminated, casting uncertainty on how the nonprofit organization will pay for the project.
" 'It sort of feels like the rug was pulled out from under us in the middle of an important project,' she said. 'It's pretty brutal. It's a big loss in promised funds for an organization like ours.'
"The children's museum is among the many #museums, #libraries and other organizations across the country that are now scrambling to deal with the loss of funding they depended on to operate.
"President Donald #Trump signed an executive order declaring the Institute of Museum and Library Services [#IMLS], the primary federal support for U.S. libraries and museums, 'unnecessary' and vowing to eliminate or nearly eliminate it. Weeks later, he placed the federal agency's entire staff on a 90-day leave.
"This week, the #MaineStateLibrary laid off 13 staff members — nearly one-third of its staff — and closed for two weeks to restructure its operations because its funding from #IMLS is indefinitely suspended, according to State Librarian #LoriFisher.
"Maine is among more than 20 states suing the federal government over its attempt to shutter IMLS. That suit also challenges Trump's targeting of the Minority Business Development Agency and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
"The IMLS last year awarded $266.7 million in grants, research and policy development to museums, libraries and related organizations.
"The children's museum was awarded the $224,143 Museums for America grant in August, the first time in two decades it had received a grant from the IMLS.
"The museum had already received a $40,000 reimbursement from the grant funding and had requested another $15,000 reimbursement. But that second reimbursement never came and with Trump's comments about eliminating the agency, the museum staff and board were worried about the funding even before it was canceled.
" 'We had some concerns and suspicions, given the news and the termination of all the staff members at IMLS,' Butcher Pezzino said. 'That didn't feel like it would bode well.'"

#Pride #PortlandME did not disappoint! I only took a few pictures, since it was hard to get out in front! Fellow #DemocraticSocialists were well-represented (I wanted to march with them, but had too much on my plate lately). They were the only ones I saw carrying a #Palestinian flag in the parade... Good for them!!!

These are still being painted in #PortlandME! #Bee the Revolution!
Is the hive at work? These bees keep popping up around Portland
It's not clear who is painting the bees, if it's one person or many, or what their motivations are. Some Portlanders are delighted by the latest trend in #StreetArt, others are worried about the cost of cleanup.

25 years ago, I interviewed #ChiefLookingHorse about World Peace and Prayer Day, and was inspired to organize a solidarity event in #PortlandME (in conjunction with #PeaceActionMaine) where we made art, spoke truth, played music, and fed the #Unhoused. It took a lot of work to organize, but I'm glad it happened. It's was all about #BuildingCommunity and #MutualAid, and that's what's needed #InTheseTimes!
#WorldPeaceAndPrayerDay: The Power of Spirit
Article by @bsnorrell.blogspot.com , Censored News, noon, June 21, 2026
#MathóPahá (Bear Butte) South Dakota -- "Chief #ArvolLookingHorse, Chief began by saying the riders are coming from Green Grass and then they will proceed to the Little Big Horn.
" '#MotherEarth is sick, and we are sick, because we nourish from Mother Earth' Chief Looking Horse said.
"With a message of hope, Chief Looking Horse said his people are a people of peace and today, more than ever, the youths are singing their songs and on the ride from Green Grass.
"As World Peace and Prayer Day began, now in its thirtieth year, Chief Looking Horse said, 'Pipestone is the Blood of our People,'
"We need peace in this world more than ever."
"As World Peace and Prayer Day begins today, an elder from #Alaska speaks on the impact of a typhoon at #HooperBay. She spoke on the power of prayer, and efforts to recover. 'Their homes are totally destroyed.' Now, the federal government is depriving them of their funds."
"#Paiute #JoshDini and youth honor #MyronDewey, Paiute, and his efforts at #StandingRock. They are sharing what is happening at #ThackerPass, the #LithiumMining in Nevada.
"On the ride, now from Green Grass in South Dakota, Josh said they are able to share what is happening in Nevada and that Thacker Pass is a place of massacres.
"#Datacenters are being pushed without consultation with the tribe. The data centers are taking the land and water, even now in a #drought, the data centers are coming for the water, Josh said.
"Dr. #ValeriahBigEagle, #Nakota / #HunkpatiDakota, speaks on the power of prayer and protection of the land and water. At Sacred #Pesla, two drill rigs were stopped from going in. An injunction, and preliminary injunction was filed to stop the drilling for graphite. Then, 'they started drilling around the clock.' On May 8, the permit was rescinded.
"There were drones and helicopters overhead, but the occupation went forward with prayer, she said. The protectors had their own drone as well, for security. Big Eagle said it was an honor to be a part of this.
" 'The only weapons we had were our prayers,' she said, describing the lock downs to equipment to halt the drilling.
" 'When we are in #solidarity and #unity, we can make things happen,' she said, speaking on ongoing efforts to protect the Sacred #BlackHills."

So, a lot of #AshTrees in #PortlandME have been taken down because of #EmeraldAshBorer . I came across a young #GreenAsh tree that seems to be healthy. I'm hoping it stays that way...

Very sad to see that a bunch of the #WhiteAsh trees near USM #PortlandME are infested with #EmeraldAshBorer . One tree is unscathed. I hope the USM Arborist has treated it (I'll have to find out).

Last night, generous Portlanders heard word that some ICE agents were new to legal cannabis culture so the city did what it does best and showed them how to hotbox. Just another classic example of Portland’s unmatched passion for tourism and community spirit.
We stand with Portland.
Drop a ✊💙 for our fellow #BlueCrew members holding the line, defending dignity, and never backing down.

I was out and about posting #KYR flyers in multiple languages at all the #Hilal and #African markets in #PortlandME a year ago! I've been on top of this #ICE BS before it started! I'm so glad to see folks taking this shit seriously, but sometimes I wonder why so many stayed home rather than making sure a FUCKING #Fascist didn't win in 2024. Just saying... Yeah, I don't mean to #VoteShame folks, but I am #VoteShaming folks! Seriously!!! WTF! This is better than #CorporateDemocrats? Ummmm...

Tee hee. I just had to unfurl the flag before I took this picture! #PrideFlags should be flying freely!
