How to protect #AshTrees and preserve a #Wabanaki tradition
October 29, 2024
PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • October 29, 2024
"How to help protect the brown ash tree used in Wabanaki basketry from the invasive emerald ash borer.
• Cut, buy, or burn only local firewood.
• Monitor for telltale signs of infestation.
• If you own land, know if you have brown ash.
• If your ash is healthy, contact a forester or #MaineForestService about how to keep them alive.
• Collect seed pods from healthy brown ash for replanting.
• Consider offering Wabanaki artists access to your brown ash."

Edit: the fundraiser has been taken down by Donorbox - this is not the first time this has happened while trying to help affected families. People have reported the page before, while trying to demand proof from families that need to remain anonymous - to avoid ICE stalking them. Still watch the video - *especially* if you're a cishet white person in the US. There is a message that needs hearing there.
Please, watch this. Especially if you are a cishet white person in the US. And *do something.*
If nothing else, share the fundraiser around, to help this family and others impacted in #Maine towards justice. Help them stay in the community that they call home - that they have *every right* to be in.

How mature and professional 
He was "ticked."
Via Joyce Vance:
This isn't how gov't is supposed to work: The acting commissioner of Social Security admitted “I was ticked at the governor of #Maine for not being real cordial to the president,” so I ended a program in Maine.
Is Susan Collins concerned yet? Or, not so much?
@Nonilex So the #TrumpCrimeSyndicate are literally stupid, blood-sucking tics?! 
Got it. 
…the #SocialSecurity Admin briefly ended a contract that had allowed parents of newborn babies in #Maine to sign their children up for a SSN at the hospital, instead requiring them to do so in person at an office. Dudek said he had ordered the move after watching #JanetMills, ME’s Democratic governor, clash w/ #Trump….
“I was ticked at the governor of Maine for not being real cordial to the president,” Dudek said…. “I screwed up. I’ll admit I screwed up.”

From my one and only trip out East. This is from a foggy fall morning at Camden Harbor, Maine.
#Trump is once again threatening #Maine’s Democratic governor Janet Mills who is following Maine’s laws to not discriminate against #Lgbtq student athletes.
She was New England’s first woman elected DA.
As a lawyer, she worked tirelessly for victims of domestic violence and of gender discrimination.

Senator VeryConcerned #SusanCollins has not had a town hall in 25 years.
She doesn't seem like she's been concerned most of her career.
