  2. What is #Palantir? And why is this corporation so dangerous?

    The company conducts #MassSurveillance in the service of #StateViolence, from #ICE’s #deportation machine to the #genocide in #Gaza.

    By Kenny Morris, Feb 11, 2026

    "#PeterThiel is a central co-founder of Palantir. He is a #billionaire venture #capitalist, conservative libertarian, and an early investor in Facebook who made much of his money from founding PayPal. According to Theil, 'I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.

    How can we stop Palantir?

    "#AFSC has joined a collective of #ImmigrantRights groups, #PalestineSolidarity organizations, #EnvironmentalJustice advocates, #LaborUnions, and many others working to hold Palantir accountable and stop its expansion into our lives. You can join us by finding or organizing a local group to pressure our universities, hospitals, and other institutions to cut all ties to Palantir.

    "Visit our #PurgePalantir campaign page to:

    - Contact the leadership of hospitals, universities, and other corporations using Palantir to urge them to #divest from the company.
    - Find a map of Palantir offices, some of its corporate clients, and elected officials who have received money from Palantir. Use it to find where the company is in your community and plan an action to challenge it.
    - Are you a health care worker? You can join organized nurses and doctors across the U.S. pushing the surveillance company out of our hospitals [and the #NHS in the #UK].

    "Learn more about the company and join the growing campaign to stand up to Palantir."

  3. ON THEIR WAY TO WORK!!! SUCH HARDENED CRIMINALS!!!

    #ImmigrantRights group says 17 people were arrested by #CBP agents while riding bus in #Skowhegan

    Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition says it has seen more immigration enforcement activity in rural areas

    Jacob Murphy, February 12, 2026

    Excerpt: "Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition says the workers were staying in the former #KyesMotel in #SkowheganME. The bus regularly picks them up and brings them to #BackyardFarms.

    "Backyard Farms grows #tomatoes and #lettuce and ships the produce across the country.

    "Local growers are concerned that the agricultural workforce will significantly shrink with increasing immigration enforcement.

    " 'The reality we're seeing is that the recent surge in ICE activity is causing uncertainty for farm labor that doesn't stop at a visa status. It’s making it harder for farms to maintain a reliable workforce, which will ultimately ripple out into the broader economy," said Jennifer Wilhelm with Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association.

  5. #GoodTrouble#protesters rally in #BangorME against the #Trump administration

    by Annie Rupertus July 17, 2025

    "About 200 people gathered on Stillwater Avenue near the Bangor Mall Thursday evening to rally against the Trump administration in honor of the late congressman and civil rights activist #JohnLewis.

    "The event was the latest in a series of nationwide protests broadly opposing President Donald Trump’s policies, with '#GoodTroubleLivesOn' events planned in more than 1,500 locations across all 50 states, according to The Guardian.

    "More than 20 Maine communities participated in Thursday’s protests. The Bangor event was organized by #IndivisibleBangor, a progressive advocacy group that formed after the 2016 election to oppose Trump’s agenda. Indivisible has thousands of chapters across the country.

    "The protest aimed to embody Lewis’s appeal for Americans to get into 'good trouble, #NecessaryTrouble,' in pursuit of #SocialJustice, according to organizer Mary Ann Larson.

    " 'People are waking up,' Larson said, noting she was especially concerned about the recently passed budget reconciliation bill and what it will mean for #RuralMaine hospitals and people who rely on #FoodStamps funded by the federal government.

    "Thursday’s protest attendees were mostly older adults. Many brought American flags and pro-democracy signs with messages like '#NoKings in America' and 'imagine being afraid of #diversity more than #dictatorship' — similar messaging to the larger 'No Kings' rally last month, which saw more than 1,000 participants in Bangor.

    "The group seemed to get mostly positive responses from drivers passing by on the busy Bangor road, who often honked or waved out of their windows at the crowd lined up on the curb between Chick-fil-A and Washville.

    "One attendee, artist Bernice Cross, wore a handmade jacket with painted American flag imagery. She drove to the protest from Greenbush in a car she painted with abstract art and #BlackLivesMatter messaging in 2020 in response to the murder of #GeorgeFloyd by a Minneapolis police officer.

    "Cross came out because 'I love America,' she said, and in her view, Trump is destroying America and the values it was founded on.

    "For Cynthia Purmort and Mary Ann Labue of Cape Cod, who drove down to Bangor from their camp in Willimantic, a desire to defend the Constitution and individual freedoms were key in bringing them out to the protest.

    " 'These are desperate times,' Purmort said.

    "Many rallygoers also mentioned defending #immigrants as a key issue, with some chanting, 'Hey hey! Ho ho! #StephenMiller’s got to go' in reference to Trump’s #HomelandSecurity advisor.

    "Multiple protesters also expressed concerns about the measure approved by the Senate Thursday that would slash funding for #PublicBroadcasting and international aid [#USAID].

    "Thursday’s rally was planned to coincide with the five-year anniversary of Lewis’s death.

    "He was a key figure in the #CivilRights Movement who spent decades advocating for #RacialJustice and nonviolent #resistance. He is especially known for leading over 600 voting rights protesters on an #Alabama march from #SelmaToMontgomery in 1965 that is widely credited with spurring the passage of the landmark #VotingRightsAct.

    "Alabama state troopers attacked the nonviolent marchers on Selma’s #EdmundPettusBridge and fractured Lewis’s skull, but he survived and later was elected to represent an Atlanta district in the U.S. Congress in 1986, serving until he died of pancreatic cancer in 2020."

  7. #Protesters honor #veterans, rally for #ImmigrantRights on #MemorialDay in downtown #Boston

    The “#RallyForADream” called state and local legislators to action in the fight for statewide immigrant protections.

    By Darin Zullo, May 26, 2025

    "Hundreds of protesters gathered on the Boston Common Monday to honor veterans and rally for statewide protections for immigrants.

    "The Memorial Day Rally for a Dream, organized by #Mass50501, was held on Memorial Day to honor fallen military personnel while supporting the ideals that they died for, organizers said. The group has hosted numerous protests since President Donald Trump’s second term in office began, including the nationwide '#HandsOff!' protest that saw tens of thousands of protesters in Boston alone.

    " 'We felt it was really important to do this today,' Rebecca Winter, a spokesperson for Mass 50501, told Boston.com. 'We’re calling this march the Rally for a Dream because we see that the American dream is being desecrated right now with all of the harm being done to immigrants in our state.'

    "The rally began at City Hall Plaza, where Kylie Bemis, a Mass #50501Movement member and assistant teaching professor of computer science at Northeastern University, kicked it off with chants like 'show me what democracy looks like' and 'no hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here.' Bemis has been outspoken about the #Trump administration and previously called on Northeastern administrators to do the same.

    " 'I’m #NativeAmerican from #ZuniPueblo, and I’m a #transgender woman, so I feel like I was born into this kind of #resistance,' Bemis told Boston.com. 'When I saw that things were swiftly moving towards #authoritarianism, I felt an obligation to do my part, to resist, to speak up, to point out the injustices that other people seemed to be missing.'
