I may have been by myself in #PortlandMaine today, but that wasn't the case a few weeks ago (while I was recovering from ick). #MaineResistance is real (and folks turned out in droves in #AugustaMaine today).

#Maine groups march against #Trump administration ahead of Inauguration Day

PORTLAND, Maine — "Maine-based groups took to the streets of Portland Saturday to protest the incoming Trump administration ahead of #InaugurationDay.

"#ThePeoplesMarch was hosted as a response to #Project2025, the far-right political roadmap that has been linked regularly to Donald Trump.

"'All people from all sides of the aisle, including Republicans and Democrats, have the duty to flag that #fascist policies are antidemocratic,' said march organizer Dania Bowie."

Regarding Musk's Nazi salute.
Of course you'll be told that that wasn't what it was; that's how this thing works.

#InaugurationDay

An important reminder today:

“Actually, time itself is neutral; it can be used either destructively or constructively. More and more I feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than have the people of good will. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to be coworkers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right. Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity.”
