Thanks Jess, I needed that! Some of these good news stories seem to get lost by the wayside. I'm thankful for someone like you who picks them up and dusts them off for us.

Hey Jess, if in the Maritimes, idk your timeline or route out of that lovely place on earth but if you are driving through Maine in the morning this is from Southern Maine Indivisible....Reminder, Wells, Maine is the ONLY town in the state of Maine with a 287 (g) ICE Agreement................

ITSME AWG - HIGH ALERT

TOMORROW MORNING, 8:45AM,

1563 POST ROAD (ROUTE 1)

WELLS (police dept. building)

The New York Times will be taking pictures of our protesting in Wells … No ICE in Wells! … in support of an article/story they’re doing on ICE. IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE A HUMONGOUS TURNOUT OF PEOPLE! Be there. And please try to bring along a poster that reflects in some way, No ICE in Wells. Bring along a friend, neighbor, whatever! Take time off from work … call in sick! I hope to see all of ITSME’s membership there.

The MAGA base has cracked over the exploitation of children. Who knew where their line was? https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/maga-base-cracked?r=3m1bs

Crazy that lies about Democrats sex-trafficking children were believed, and now the truth of our prez and Epstein’s child-abuse, is ALSO believed.

Me too. It’s good to know that other countries side with We The People and not the idiot in the White House at the moment.

Thank you Jess for your strength and patriotism. Mainers love you! I live in Belfast, and I'm sad that you didn't pass by any Good Trouble Protests in our state last week. We had over 22 rallies and thousands of attendees: Augusta, Auburn, Bangor, Belfast, Blue Hill, Bridgton, Brunswick, Calais, Dover-Foxcroft, Ellsworth, Fairfield, Farmington, Freeport, Houlton, Kennebunkport, Lincoln, Machias, Paris, Portland, S. Portland, Vinalhaven, Wayne, Wells and more.

And we had a John Roberts Kayak Flotilla Protest off shore his summer home on Sutter Island.

The CELEBRATE THIS section is priceless, and very much appreciated! It's important to see positive things in this time of major disfunction, veniality and blatant stupidity. Thanks again.

Please celebrate the indigenous peoples of the Klamath River and the free flowing of the Klamath and its healing. It’s beautiful news!

Thank you SO much for these positive wonderful comments about what is GOOD NEWS! We need this kind of reporting SO MUCH. Don't know how you do it! You must have volunteers all over the country keeping you posted on the Wonderful News to give us! And some of these new items speak volumes about the fact the HELP IS ON THE WAY! We must never give in to angst, but we do have to keep aware of what's happening so that we can fight against the many terrible things that are happening by a stroke of DJT's black marker pen!
