#Mainers in kayaks protest Chief Justice #JohnRoberts near his island home
by Stephen Betts, Midcoast Villager
July 19, 2025"#Kayakers who say they oppose the direction the U.S. Supreme Court has taken the country took to the water Saturday morning to protest near the seasonal home of Chief Justice John Roberts Jr.
"The flotilla launched its kayaks from the new public landing in Port Clyde and paddled a few hundred yards to Roberts’ home on Hupper Island.
"The chief justice and his wife Jane Roberts purchased the home in June 2006. He typically spends time at the seasonal home after the high court recesses for the summer. Their chief residence is in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
Signs voicing opposition to the #SupremeCourt’s rulings were brought in the kayaks, and others lined the waterfront."Signs referred to rulings that they said harm the #LBTQ community, the overturning of campaign spending limits for #corporations in the #CitizensUnited case in 2010, the overturning of a woman’s right to #abortion in 2022, and more recent rulings that grant the president immunity from actions taken while president.
"Organizer Susan MacNeil-Densmore said earlier this week she is affiliated with the organization #AudacityCAT (#CreativeActionTogether) which has been active locally working to resist #authoritarianism, but said the event was not really part of any specific organization."

Plan to discharge water into #HudsonRiver from closed #NuclearPlant sparks uproar
The #IndianPoint nuclear plant along the Hudson River is at the center of a controversy two years after it was shut down
By MICHAEL HILL Associated Press
June 20, 2023, 5:07 PM"But opponents along the river question the health and safety claims. They say the releases of #radioactive water could be a step back for a once notoriously polluted river that is now a popular summer attraction for sailors, #kayakers and #swimmers.
"Communities along the river have already passed resolutions opposing the discharges, and an online petition has gathered more than 440,000 signatures. On Tuesday, a bill sponsored by two Hudson Valley Democrats that would ban #radiological discharges into the river was approved by state Assembly.
"'It leaves a bad taste in your mouth ... the idea that we would be polluting our beautiful Hudson River with waste when we’ve spent so many years trying to clean it up. This shouldn’t be a dumping ground,' Assembly member Dana Levenberg said at a state Capitol rally for her bill before the debate.
"The bill, approved by the state Senate earlier this month, is opposed by some labor officials, who say it could interrupt the decommissioning and cause layoffs.
"The bill will be sent to Gov. #KathyHochul, who has not said whether she supports the measure."
