#PortlandMaine: Weekly protests, Saturdays at 11am! #MonumentSquare (alternate site, City Hall)
#Protesters rallied at 16 #demonstrations across #Maine
by Carol Bousquet, Maine Public March 2, 2025
"Protesters rallied at 16 statewide demonstrations this weekend called #MarchEndTheMadness.
"Hundreds filled #MonumentSquare in #PortlandME Saturday to speak out about the #Trump Administration’s actions that have harmed #Mainers, including #farmers and #FederalWorkers.
"The protesters said they are calling for the restoration of checks and balances, the rule of law, and equity for all under the law.
"Steve Titcomb of Falmouth said he worries about the security of our country and that of our allies with Trump in charge.
"'The president has taken the side of #Russia and #Putin and is turning his back on decades of security for Europe and NATO,' Titcomb said.
"Susan Hanley of Orr’s Island said she’s disgusted with how President Trump treated #Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelenskyy Friday at the White House and said his administration is not working for Americans.
"'It’s not about ‘We the People’ for them. It’s about #greed and #money and #power,' Hanley said.
"The #16CountiesForCourage marches were organized by #IndivisiblePortland, #IndivisibleBangor and other advocacy groups.
"Earlier in the day about a hundred protesters gathered at Portland City Hall to speak out against the Trump Administration’s sweeping measures to downsize the federal government workforce.
"Angus Ferguson organizes a protest called 'Every Saturday at 11 am in Monument Square' that has been gathering for several weeks but met at City Hall because of multiple protests across the city. He said the Trump Administration is ignoring the U.S. Constitution and turning it upside down.
"'We’re protesting Donald Trump, #Musk and the #MAGA movement’s destruction of the U.S. Constitution, firing federal workers, decimating federal agencies,' Ferguson said.
"Ferguson, who is an attorney, said the President is literally 'executing' or destroying the law with his actions."

#Postal workers rally against proposals to privatize #USPS
Maine Public | By Kaitlyn Budion
Published March 20, 2025"Postal workers across #Maine are sounding alarms about proposals to privatize the U.S. Postal Service.
"Workers in #PortlandME and #BangorME rallied today to make the case that private companies will not be able to fully meet the mail service needs of Maine residents- especially those in rural areas.
"In Bangor, protestors chanted 'U.S. mail is not for sale' and held signs as passing cars honked in support.
"Tom Smith is the legislative director with the local chapter of the American Postal Workers Union. He said shifting mail delivery to private companies would only make it more expensive to send and slower to arrive.
"'It becomes a for-profit business where the bottom line is profits, as long as people can suffer a couple of days without their meds, as long as the bottom dollar is found,' Smith said. 'And that's not what we are. We are an essential service of the United States people.'
"Smith said workers are on edge with all the debate in Washington, and #InstitutionalKnowledge is being lost as some long-time staff take early retirement offers.
"'The Postal Service is inexpensive, it's prompt, it's reliable,' he said. "And especially in rural areas, people count on the Postal Service for life saving meds to Grandma's latest batch of snickerdoodles.'
"Smith said the union is encouraging the public to reach out to local and federal representatives to show their support. The National Association of Letter Carriers will also hold a rally in Portland on Sunday."

'I felt so powerless': Rally held in #PortlandME for 2 men being held by #ICE in #Maine
Stephanie Grindley,CBS13 I-Team
Fri, May 30th 2025 at 5:34 PMPORTLAND (WGME) -- "Two men, who had been working in Maine's trade industry, vanished Monday morning.
"They're allegedly now in the hands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.
"Their partners say it has been a nightmare to even nail down where they're held or why.
"Lucas Segobia and Marcos Henrique, both Brazilian nationals, were driving into Maine for work early Monday morning.
"Segobia’s fiancée, Laura Anderson, says she was on the phone with him when a Maine state trooper pulled them over at the #I95TollPlaza.
"The reason was an 'off-center' license plate.
Anderson says state police turned the men over to Border Patrol."

I'm not finding the post, but someone on here posted about an incident at a bar in #PortlandME where #ICE was thrown out. I've confirmed the story, and it was a brew pub in the Bayside neighborhood. Hubby saw the video but couldn't make out the name of the brew pub, but recognized the neighborhood. Here's the link from IG:

A good turnout today in #PortlandME!
Hundreds gather in Portland to protest actions by #ICE
The demonstration came at the end of a week in which federal immigration officials said over 100 people had been detained in #Maine.
by Drew Johnson, January 23, 2026
PORTLAND — "While the temperature dropped, emotions remained high as hundreds of protesters took to Monument Square on Friday night after a week in which federal immigration officials said they had detained over 100 people in Maine.
"Small demonstrations have been held throughout the week — in Portland and beyond — but Friday night’s appeared to be the first to attract such numbers since U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement began a large-scale operation this week.
" 'No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here,' protesters chanted as a symphony of car horns blared on Congress Street shortly after the protest began at 5 p.m.
"Protesters began marching down Congress Street around 6 p.m., chanting 'No justice, no peace, get ICE off our streets; to the steady beat of drums."

CW: organizing AGAINST bezos, PDX9 injuries
@garbados okay, so we hit #PDX9 on april fools day.
...using their 26% injury rate as our rallying cry.
What we really needed was a class action lawsuit backed by a comprehensive unionization and strike initiative a decade or two ago.
Todo items:
Negotiate with the telco to cut their internet in solidarity.
Negotiate with local power company to cut power in solidarity.
Negotiate with trucking/delivery/food services in the area to categorically deny meaningfull support to the PDX9 warehouse for a full day. -
I saw this and thought of you, @RadicalGraffiti (and @RadicalAnthro as well). Bee the Revolution!
Is the hive at work? These bees keep popping up around #PortlandMaine
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.

@ColinTheMathmo @VisualStuart Sorry for the poor quality of introduction - I was on my phone (my laptop, I'm still recovering from a ransomware).
Summarising:
I met Colin at college, where he corrected many of my initial bad juggling habits, and introduced me to the (then, very new!) concept that became known as #Siteswap. I keep up with him for the #recreationalmaths , the #MathsJam events, and other reminders that I used to be, and still am, interested in that space.
Stuart, on the other hand, is someone who seems to show up in random unconnected places - we were both Microsoft MVPs at various times, and with the #PortlandJuggling Festival being the most local, reliable annual juggling festival, I've run into him a few times there. For the first couple of years, there was definitely a vibe of "I've seen you before, but I can't remember where".
There is likely to be a #SeattleJuggling event in the next year.
Hopefully that's enough hashtags. -
Officer on ground: The east bank Proud Boys group has dispersed. It’s down to about 20 waiting for rides and water.
Operations desk: Copy that, just advise them to leave as soon as they can… We’re going to have to do something with the crowd walking south on MLK; it looks like they have the whole street. We’ll have to get some forces up, sound truck.
So #portlandpolice were content to "just advise" their fascist and Nazi friends (who came from all over the country and were so explicit about their intent to kill Portlanders that their pals in the #FBI told them to chill), but they felt the need to concoct spurious bullshit to arrest Portlanders who protested against the Nazis coming to attack and kill people. Sounds about right for #TedWheeler's police force.

i hope nobody ever forgets that #TedWheeler & #PPB #PortlandPolice did everything they could to valorize this alt-right murderer, & to demonize the good people he shot. #PDX
