#Protesters rally in #PortlandME, advocating for protection of rights amid Trump tensions
Story by Allyson Lapierre, WGME
PORTLAND, Maine (WGME) -- "Making their voices be heard on a day of #revolution, a rally on Saturday pays tribute to the #250thAnniversary of the 'shot heard around the world,' a day that marks the start of the Revolutionary War.
" 'They’re taking away my Social Security and my #MaineCare away from me...which side are you on?' Olivia McDermott, who has #DownSyndrome, said.
"McDermott came to advocate for herself and others who have #disabilities who depend on #SocialSecurity and #Medicaid.
" 'I get really upset that this is happening to me and other people with #disabilities. They go to school like this, and I don’t want people to feel uncomfortable about it,' McDermott said.
"Olivia's mom, Maura Mcdermott, is a #SpecialEducationTeacher. She's worried the $Trump administration could take away those benefits.
" 'We need to not cut the services. We need to expand #MedicaidForAll people, and we need to #TaxTheRich. Enough of this,' Maura said.
"Other protestors voiced concerns about state politics, specifically about Maine senators.
" '#SusanCollins had better vote 'no, no, no' to the #SAVEAct because those are all voting rights, and we need voting for next election,' Nina McKee, a Scarborough resident, said.
"Despite the anniversary of the #AmericanRevolution, protesters on Saturday said there's little to feel #patriotic about.
" 'I can’t even express the need for us to stand up against what is happening in our country. It is beyond consumption,' McKee said.
" 'There’s no good thing going on right now, so any change is for the better,' Duncan Potter, a Brunswick resident, said."

Based on these data, it's estimated that 200 to 400 babies are killed by their circumcision each year in the United States. Circumcision has no health benefits and is a violation of the child's right to bodily integrity.
Please consider contacting your #Maine state senator to tell them that you don't want your tax dollars being used to kill boys. Tell them to vote no on covering circumcision with #MaineCare, Maine's version of #Medicaid. Save lives and stop genital cutting.

Contact your state senator and say vote NO on using #MaineCare to pay for nontherapeutic infant circumcisions.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Intactivists/comments/16o01ya/comment/k1i077o/
An analysis of existing data shows that "for every 13-26 UTIs prevented by infant genital surgery, one infant died of the surgery that was recorded as SIDS. And excluding UTIs in boys with VUR, it could be as high as only 1.3 to 2.6 UTIs prevented per death caused."
Circumcision kills boys. Vote NO!

One of the worst parts of living in #poverty is when I start making more #money I get to the point where I'm not making enough to be totally stable but risk making "too much" to continue getting #SNAP and #MaineCare (health insurance) for my kids. I hate this liminal space. This Schrödinger's cat of income.
For the moment, I'm going to be glad I was able to invoice as much as I did for work in August. Later, I'll go see if my annual $ is putting me over the limit where I'll lose that help.
