#SouthernMaine - #USM Student, Staff and Faculty
Oakhurst Campus #FoodPantry
"The Oakhurst Campus Food Pantry provides essential resources to the USM community to fight food insecurity and meet the basic needs of students, faculty, and staff using a self-assessed need model.
"We believe individuals should have the autonomy to determine their current level of need and be empowered with accessible, equitable, and inclusive resources to alleviate and eliminate the need.
"We distributed over 10,900 lbs of food to the USM community in 2022
"There is no paperwork to fill out or expectation to 'prove' your current need in order to access the pantry; all you need is your current #UniversityOfMaineSystem (#UMS) ID. We do not limit how often you can access pantry resources.
"We offer a wide range of food (non-perishable, cold, and frozen), household, and personal goods. Shop in-person at our Portland campus location or submit a pre-order online, available for pick-up in #PortlandME, #GorhamME, and #Lewiston-#Auburn Campus.
"The Pantry has experienced a steady increase in need over the last 18+ months as reflected in our data; resources distributed, spending to stock pantry items, and the number of people being served. Pantry regulars include undergraduate and graduate students, domestic and international students, and university staff and faculty. What was once supplemental for many people, has become a resource they regularly depend upon."

#DemocracyNow - #ImmigrantRights Leader in #Maine Says #ICERaids Caused Panic & “Wave of Fear”
February 03, 2026
"Activists in Maine are resisting #ICE immigration raids in #PortlandME and #LewistonME that the #Trump administration dubbed 'Operation Catch of the Day.' The immigrant community in Maine has grown in recent years, with an influx of #AsylumSeekers and #Somali immigrants in particular. 'As a small state, community means a lot,' says #MufaloChitam, executive director of the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition, adding that her organization has received thousands of phone calls to their immigrant support hotline in recent weeks."

A protest of more than one!

#PortlandME - Another #ProtestOfOne (the 11am one had a few more folks I hear). I mostly received support, some raised fists and horns -- also "Traitor!" and some not nice things that I won't repeat. But I'm glad I was out there!

[Thread] Photos from the #PortlandME #April19th rally at #MonumentSquare. When we arrived at Noon, there was already a decent crowd. By the time we left at 1pm, more folks were streaming in (and it got a bit loud and overwhelming for me). But it was a good crowd, and we received lots of support from those driving by as well.

Well this is a bummer. I get that #FoodStamp fraud prevention is important, but I think the penalty was too harsh. And apparently, the local grocer was unable to bounce back. When I worked for the Reiche School Library, I admired what a gem Fresh Approach was for the neighborhood. Kids and teachers would gather there after school. It was (and still is) a hopping little place. And while I would love to see another local grocery store or a food co-op go into that space, considering the rent increases in #PortlandME because of #gentrification, that probably isn't going to happen.
#FreshApproach market in Portland’s West End will close
Chet and Peggy Knights say they weren’t able to overcome the loss in business after their SNAP license was revoked.
by Peggy Grodinsky, May 13, 2026
" 'With deep regret and broken hearts,” grocers Chet and Peggy Knights announced on social media Wednesday that they are closing Fresh Approach, their longtime West End store.
The Knights have run the classic neighborhood market, located on Brackett Street opposite Reiche Elementary School, for 34 years.
'I’m very sad to hear the news,' said Reiche teacher Kevin Brewster, who was waiting at the lunch counter for his meatball sandwich at noon Wednesday. 'It’s a neighborhood institution.' "[...]
"The store lost its license to accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in February 2025, after an undercover compliance agent was able to purchase ineligible nonfood items. Their Facebook post acknowledged the wrongdoing, and noted that after 11 months, the Knights were able to renew the license.
"But that long stretch without 'a very big part of our business' took its toll. A neighborhood-sponsored GoFundMe campaign helped the beloved store survive the immediate crisis, but even at the time, the Knights said they were unsure it would be enough to save the store."

#Protesters rally at #PortlandME Jetport against #AveloAirlines' #ICEDeportation flights
July 14, 2025
PORTLAND, Maine (WGME) -- "A group gathered outside the Portland Jetport on Saturday to rally against Avelo Airlines for working with ICE.
"Since May, the airline has been carrying out deportation flights in Arizona for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
"Shortly after starting their flights for ICE, #Avelo began offering nonstop flights between #NewHavenCT, and Portland.
" 'Whether or not it’s a public airport, we don't believe that anyone who’s violating anyone else’s #HumanRights, any business should be allowed to continue and be allowed to receive incentives from the airport,' said Rachel Weinstein, a protester at the #PortlandJetport.
"A spokesperson for Avelo says their #HomelandSecurity charters are only based out of Arizona and are not affiliated with Portland Jetport commercial services."

So, @blockforest , I had been saving your #MothMan block print card for a special occasion, and now that occasion is here. The International #Cryptozoology Museum is moving to #BangorME, so I am donating your lovely card as well as a Moth Man plush to the museum for their new digs! (They are currently in #PortlandME, but are moving next year). I'm sure they will find a nice spot in the Moth Man exhibit for these new items!

#GreaterPortlandMetro launching transit service to #ScarboroughME
Greater Portland Metro says it will be launching a new bus service connecting Scarborough and #PortlandME
SCARBOROUGH, Maine — "Greater Portland Metro says it is launching a new bus service connecting Scarborough and Portland along Route 1.
"The service is expected to run seven days a week and provide access to medical facilities, shopping, and regional employment centers. Exact stops and schedules are still being finalized, according to a news release.
"The Maine Turnpike Authority approved $3.5 million over five years to support the project.
"Scarborough Town Manager Thomas Hall said the route supports the town's transportation goals and could help reduce traffic.
"Public meetings will be scheduled to allow residents to provide feedback, the release stated. A survey is also available here.
"Greater Portland Metro serves Portland, South Portland, Westbrook, Falmouth, Yarmouth, Freeport, Brunswick, Gorham, Scarborough, and Bath."

Police arrest 2 protesters after ‘#NoKings’ rally in Portland
by Paul Koenig
"Portland police officers arrested two protesters on Saturday following the 'No Kings' demonstration, a nationwide movement opposing the Trump administration.
"Similar protests were held across the country and in more than 30 communities around Maine, including Bangor, where hundreds of demonstrators gathered at the city’s waterfront. Portland’s demonstrations drew thousands of attendees, according to the Portland Press Herald.
"The Portland protests in Monument Square and Lincoln Park were relatively peaceful, according to the Portland Police Department.
"But following the rally, as police officers were directing traffic at the intersection of Congress and Franklin streets, a Portland woman who was ordered to get onto the sidewalk threw a water bottle that struck a police officer, according to Brad Nadeau, spokesperson for the Portland Police Department.
"Police arrested the woman, Jennie Joan Ferrare, 35, for assault and obstructing a public way.
"As officers were arresting the woman, Tyler J. McGrath of Falmouth 'blew an air horn directly at an officer from a close proximity, causing immediate pain in his ears,' Nadeau said. McGrath, 27, was charged with assault.
"Both were transported to Cumberland County Jail."

#Maine protesters call out #SenatorSusanCollins for not holding a town hall in 25 years
Story by Allyson Lapierre, WGME, March 16, 2025
PORTLAND, Maine (WGME) -- "Dozens of protesters took to Congress Square Park in #PortlandME on Sunday, calling on Senator Susan Collins to hold a town hall for her constituents.
"The group #IndivisibleGreaterPortland says Senator Collins has not held a town hall for Mainers in over 25 years. So, on Sunday, the group held a town hall without her.
"Participants voiced concerns about federal cuts from #DOGE, #tariffs, and Trump's talk about taking over #Greenland and Gaza.
"'People are scared. People have questions. People need answers. People don't understand what's going on. Things are just moving too fast, and they're out of touch with their elected officials who basically are sending form letters and not explaining their votes,' Marie Follayttar, who attended the event, said.
"CBS13 reached out to Senator Collins for a response but did not hear back."

Engineers Weigh Up Returning to #Ancient #RomanConcrete Recipes
Carly Cassella
Wed, July 30, 2025"The ancient Romans might have taught us a thing or two about manufacturing #sustainable concrete that lasts for thousands of years.
"A new study has rigorously analyzed the raw materials and energy demands of their ancient recipe, revealing some useful ways to improve modern cement.
"Surprisingly, researchers found that producing Roman mortar and concrete requires more water and more greenhouse gas emissions than #PortlandCement – the most common type of cement used in concrete today.
"But while the initial energy costs may be steeper, Roman concrete formulations could ultimately prove more sustainable in the long run. That's because they may not need to be replaced or repaired as often."
