"We have earth here for tyrants, but no air." - Rev. Joseph C. Lovejoy, Jan. 4, 1843, Hallowell, Maine These words are underneath a blue star and next to a pine tree. Trump has threatened to target the immigrant population of Maine, a place historically unfriendly to touch actions.

1/2 Jälkipolville jää juteltavaa - mutta mistä?

Kävin kattoo, niin Niinimaan Wikipedia-sivu ei ala, että Janne Niinimaa on suomalainen talousrikollinen ja uransa lopettanut jääkiekkopuolustaja.

Vähän epistä Karalahden kannalta. Niinimaalla kuitenkin ihan vankeustuomio.

Kuvakaappaus Wikipediasta. Lukee: Jere Karalahti Jere Juhani Karalahti (s. 25. maaliskuuta 1975 Helsinki) on suomalainen rikollinen sekä uransa lopettanut jääkiekkopuolustaja, joka pelasi Suomen maajoukkueessa, KHL:ssä, SM-liigassa ja NHL:ssä vuodesta 1993 vuoteen 2016. Maajoukkueessa hän voitti yhteensä kolme MM-hopeaa ja yhden MM-prossin.

2/2 Lisää ei-niin-mairittelevia lätkäasioita.

Onko nää "kaikki" oikeasti poliittisesti dumppilaisia vai ajatteleeko nämä, että kun #Selänne voi olla dumppilainen, niin minäkin voin vai onko ne niin tyhmiä, ettei ne tajuu vai eikö ne seuraa pätkääkään, mitä maailmassa tapahtuu vai onko ne niin välinpitämättömiä vai mitä?

RE: https://mstdn.social/@DemocracyMattersALot/115902140998276351

I need to push back on this one. Trump and Miller sending their goon squads to #Maine is no “Ha ha they're old and stupid” joke. Yes, Maine is overwhelmingly white—but Lewiston, one of the two cities on alert, has a famously significant Somali community. In recent years it has been a source of occasional and usually positive media attention. The Magas are well aware of this, a model of neighborly grace that they are eager to punish and destroy. #uspol

ICE going into Maine makes a lot of sense, what with its huge minority population.

90.2% of Maine’s population identifies as White.

Does the wording of the 14th Amendment bar states but not the federal government from persecuting people based on national origin?

Given the way ICE has behaved elsewhere, this means a military occupation, trying to get people to turn their neighbors in to the concentration camps.

Trump threatens to
revoke citizenship
of naturalized immigrants
convicted of fraud

In a long winded speech today, Donald Trump threatened to
🔥“reverse citizenship of any naturalized immigrant from Somalia or anywhere else who is convicted of defrauding our citizens”.

He spent a portion of his remarks in Detroit today heaping invective on the Somali community throughout the country, particularly in #Minnesota and #Maine.

The president repeated #xenophobic remarks about Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar
– who came to the US as a refugee from Somalia when she was 12, and became a US citizen at 17.
“She lives in Somalia. They don’t have a government, they don’t have a military, they don’t have police, they don’t have anything. All they have is murder and robbing ships,” Trump said today.
“She comes here and she tells us about our constitution … I guess she’s she’s a total scam artist.”

On a gray rainy day we are standing atop the rocky cliffs of a high headland on the Atlantic Ocean with a few leafless shrubs atop and two battered small pines poking up from the cliff side. Waves are breaking on a large beach of beige sand backed by a band of pine trees on the far side and some wetlands and then a small lagoon to our right. A steep rocky prominence with sparse tree cover known as the Beehive rises above the lagoon. Beyond the pines is an empty parking lot for the beach and a glimpse of the park road. Everything else is forests. Other than another pine forest on our left and scattered pines on and around the Beehive the trees are mostly leafless hardwoods.

#Meteotsunami or #MeteorologicalTsunami

This entry was posted on October 2, 2024 by Anne Helmenstine (updated on May 6, 2025)

"#ClimateChange is expected to lead to more frequent and intense storms, including thunderstorms and squalls. These #AtmosphericDisturbances generate #meteotsunamis, so a rise in storm activity may result in more frequent meteotsunamis in certain regions.

Key regions include:
- #MediterraneanSea: One of the most well-known meteotsunamis occurred in the #BalearicIslands in 2006, with waves reaching over 4 meters.
- #GreatLakes (U.S. and Canada): The Great Lakes experience meteotsunamis during periods of intense thunderstorms or pressure changes. In 1954, a meteotsunami struck Chicago, causing significant damage and claiming seven lives.
- #EastCoast of the United States: Meteotsunamis have been recorded along the eastern seaboard, especially in the Gulf of #Maine and #Massachusetts Bay.
- #AdriaticSea: A notable meteotsunami occurred in Vela Luka, #Croatia, in 1978, reaching 6 meters in height."

#ProtectGirlsSports in #Maine says they have enough signatures to put referendum on Nov. ballot

Story by Adam Bartow

"Supporters of a citizens initiative that would prohibit transgender athletes in Maine from playing on teams that align with their gender identity say they have enough signatures to put the proposal on the November ballot.

"Organizers with Protect Girls Sports in Maine said Sunday they had already collected more than 78,000 signatures before their petition drive at #CalvaryChapel of Greater Portland in Westbrook.

"They only need about 68,000 validated signatures to get 'An Act to Designate School Sports Participation and Facilities by Sex,' on the ballot. Organizers said they were hoping to get 80,000, just in case signatures were invalidated during the review process by the Secretary of State's Office.

[...]

"While the proposed policy wouldn't explicitly ban #transgender students from participating in school sports, it would restrict them from playing on teams or using services that aligns with their gender identity, a category that is protected from discrimination under the #MaineHumanRightsAct."

I hate that everything costs money.

I want to be able to just go on a walk without having to drive somewhere first because it's not safe to walk where I live in red rural Maine where people swerve to hit my kid as they walk on the side of the road and where I've been purposely hit, as well even pre-transition. Where they throw trash at our yard and yell the f-slur as they drive by. Where they open the gate for our dog to escape and vandalize our vehicles. Where other things happen that I can't say because it would betray the privacy of others.

#Maine is beautiful and there are beautiful people here, but it's so isolating.

Bright sunshine with a few puffy clouds. We see only the portion of the sky right above the horizon, so it is a rather light blue. Standing atop a mountain on rugged cliffs of fractured dark gray rock. A few leafy ground-hugging shrubs in brick red and maroon autumn colors grow out of the rocks. The mountainside below us is covered with dark green spruce and fir trees with some hardwoods sporting orange and gold leaves mixed in. On a plateau a few hundred feet below is a large mountain pond reflecting the otherwise unseen deep blue of the September Maine sky above. Beyond the plateau is a country of rugged mountains and valleys. The plateau and those mountains and valleys are all predominantly the deep green of the spruce-fir forest with a few hardwoods beginning to show colors mixed in.

"Join us for Monthly Maine Bike Ped Meetups! Across Maine, local bike/ped committees, planning commissions, non-profits, and volunteers are working hard to improve safe, enjoyable, and practical active and #AlternateTransportation options. But we aren’t always talking to one another! In these virtual monthly meetings, we hope we can learn from each other’s successes and challenges, get advice, and share resources in a casual setting – a forum for those already active in the bike/ped world, as well as for those who are curious about the current work being done or who want to start their own local conversations. Meetings recur every third Monday of the month at 4 PM via Zoom (FMI at link below). Meetings will be ~45 minutes and will consist of introductions, share outs, and time for questions! I’ll be there to facilitate and help connect folks with resources."

Why Do #Maine #VegetableGardens Benefit From Cold-Hardy Varieties?

Cold-hardy vegetable varieties are not just a convenience in Maine – they are a foundational strategy for reliable, productive gardening. Maine’s coastal breezes, inland winters, and short, capricious growing season make plant selection a critical decision. Choosing varieties bred or selected for cold tolerance can extend harvest windows, stabilize yields, reduce losses, and simplify season-extension tactics. This article explains why cold-hardiness matters in Maine, how it affects different crops, and what practical steps gardeners can take to maximize success.

Excerpt:

"Examples: Cold-Hardy Crops and Varieties That Work in Maine

Different vegetables respond to cold in different ways. Here are practical examples with general guidance – always check local extension resources and seed catalogs for specific varieties tested for northern climates.

- Brassicas: Kale, collards, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and kohlrabi. Many kales (e.g., ‘Winterbor’, ‘Red Russian’) can tolerate light snow and multiple freezes. Brussels sprouts and cabbage often become sweeter after frost.
- Leafy greens: Spinach, arugula, mache, and winter lettuces. Spinach and mache are among the first greens to go in the ground and can survive early spring and late fall frosts.
- Root crops: Carrots, beets, parsnips, rutabagas, and turnips. Par-snips and rutabagas can remain in the ground under a mulch and be harvested in late winter.
- Alliums and bulbs: Garlic planted in the fall overwinters and produces robust bulbs the next year. Certain onion varieties are cold-hardy as sets.
- Peas: Early peas (sugar snap, shelling) tolerate cool soil and can be planted as soon as the soil is workable.
- Potatoes: Early varieties planted in cool soil will tolerate light frosts to foliage until tuber set; new potatoes are often harvested before fall freezes.

Bear in mind that tolerance varies by variety and local conditions. For example, some kales survive to -10degF when properly acclimated, while others are less hardy.

Season Extension Techniques That Complement Cold-Hardy Varieties

Cold-hardy varieties multiply the effectiveness of season-extension methods. Combining variety choice with modest infrastructure yields big returns.

- Row covers and low tunnels: Lightweight fabric raised over hoops provides 2-8degF of protection and can be used to extend harvests and harden transplants.
- Cold frames and cloches: Simple cold frames capture solar warmth and protect seedlings during cold snaps.
- Mulches and snow as insulation: Straw or leaf mulch protects overwintering roots and garlic. In some years snow acts as a natural insulator for winter-killed plants vs. exposed soil.
- Raised beds and black plastic: Raised beds warm earlier in spring; dark surfaces absorb heat and reduce frost risk in micro-sites.
- Succession planting and relay cropping: Using short-season, cold-hardy varieties in succession ensures continuous harvests despite weather variability."

Cold Climate Gardening Tips for #Maine’s Short Growing Season

By Jessica Knowles, February 3, 2025

Excerpt: "Cool-season crops are a great choice because they can withstand lower temperatures and often mature quickly. #LeafyGreens like #spinach, #kale, and #lettuce not only grow well but can also be harvested multiple times throughout the season, making them highly productive. Root vegetables such as #carrots, #radishes, and #beets thrive in Maine’s rocky soil when it’s properly amended with compost. Brassicas, including #broccoli, #cabbage, and #cauliflower, are particularly hardy and perform exceptionally well when planted early in the season."

We are standing on a hill looking down over the treetops towards a broad river below us. It is raining. The river mirrors the gray sky. The far riverbank is also wooded, but the ridge just beyond is part of an area that was burnt over several years earlier. It is covered with the white charred still-standing trunks of dead trees and some shrub growth. Beyond that ridge are the lower slopes of a mountain that quickly disappear into very low clouds. Some of the trees on our riverbank are turning gold or orange. The trees on the opposite bank are a riot of golds, oranges, reds and greens.

Beyond those ridges, a bit hazy with distance, rises a massive lofty mountain, with extensive alpine regions in its top half.

This passage is long, but it's worth reading. Graham Platner, the alleged progressive running for U.S. Senate in Maine, thinks a three-day waiting period for gun purchases is excessive, and he does not support an automatic weapons ban. I'd love to see Susan Collins lose, but there's no way I can vote for this guy. Maine Democrats need to find a better candidate, and fast. #Politics #Maine #Guns #Senate #Democrats #Democracy #US #USpol

“As a firearms owner and someone who's bought a lot of guns in the state of Maine, I do think the three-day waiting period is a bit excessive. That being said, it was passed by this legislature. It was passed by people representing the people of Maine, and I certainly don't have a problem with it if the people of Maine want to go that route,” Platner said in the interview. Unlike Congressman Jared Golden, who announced after the Lewiston tragedy was carried out with a semi-automatic rifle, that he would support an assault weapons ban, Platner would not because they tend to focus more “on aesthetics than function.” “I am currently not for an assault weapons ban, certainly in the form that they have been put forward. As someone who has spent a lifetime around firearms, a lifetime, frankly, around automatic weapons when I was in the Marine Corps, in the Army, and semi-automatic weapons in the years afterwards as a firearms instructor and working for the State Department, I often see some of these bans as being written with language that is not really indicative of how these guns work. I very much would like to see language in legislation that reflects how firearms function and would maybe get us the outcomes we want,” Platner said. “So, I am not opposed down the road to some kind of legislation that's going to restrict access to certain kinds of firearms, but I do want to make sure that that is being written with, frankly, reality and the way that these firearms work.”
