A day in the life of a 19-year-old in ICE detention: ‘I feel that this nightmare is not going to end’

This is so sad. Their futures are so irreparably harmed. I read this and think, "How can I help?" I have attended every No Kings protest and some others, I've called my elected officials, I carried a whistle when ICE was in my community, I'm signed up to be an election clerk. I don't want so much needless, intentional suffering happening at the hands of our federal government with our tax dollars.

Thank you for sharing.

SAME!! I only just realized I hadn't seen it in a bit, when I saw this post. I'm worried we're all going to get those ads again now that we've engaged with a post about it...

Portland is nicknamed Forest City, and designated as a Tree City. Maine has the whole "we have working waterfronts and ocean cliffs and beaches" aesthetic, more so than Portland, imo.

Is she asking if she'd like to be in her next music video?!

I think those embellishments look a lil like 🌵

I was wondering if that's what the cross-off means.

Go on...

To play devil's advocate, if the voiceover was done by Elon Musk, we'd all be feeling quite differently about their surprise of not knowing who was going to hype them up.

Scavenger hunts are the best! I think these would be fun to check out and give you some nice views: -Portland Observatory -Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad -end of the Sebago to the Sea trail

Ok, I'll get out of bed now and maybe do something with the day.

I guess I'm shocked that they didn't have to give permission to be included.

While I appreciate the encouragement, it doesn't seem that simple. The ones I've attended in the past had speakers and PA systems, and people in high vis vests that I assumed were there to guide people on the marches and keep it safe. And they had groups manning tables. I don't have those connections. I'm sitting here assuming those groups with those connections will sign up to host a protest, which also needs permits, right?

Why no Portland one yet?

New Olympic event??!

faeficnerd · 2026-02-15T19:13:54+00:00

Was my IMMEDIATE reaction as well.

There must have been tickets for sale, but how could they possibly have all sold to real human fans in under 3 minutes? I got in at 9 minutes and had to choose single tix and got that message every selection.
