Susan Collins believes that "ICE has learned their lesson."
Please #Maine, replace Collins with a Democrat who cares.
Note that in Maine people don’t believe Susan Collins when she says ICE/CBP have left the state. They say ICE/CBP agents are simply “blending in”.
Good article, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/09/maine-ice-raids 1/

You want to be a #Maine political insider?
Stop crushing on Graham Platner, a perfectly nice seeming oyster farmer with regrettable tats, grow the fuck up, and support Governor Janet Mills for our senate seat.
I wasn't at today's protest, but my buddy was and took some pics!

Fascinating response I got from Susan Collins today in response to an email contact recently on the topic of Trump/Gestapo @indivisibleteam @heidilifeldman

Minnesota's state bird is the loon and loons kick butt. Years ago a bald eagle was found dead floating near a dead loon chic. After biologists examined the eagle to determine how it died, they found that a loon had pierced it through its heart. Loons look out for their loved ones. That dead eagle was found in Maine, but that serves as a warning to any bald eagles trying to take loved ones in Maine. Maine and Minnesota loons stand together to defend their loved ones.
#Maine - Several people arrested after pray-in outside Sen. #SusanCollins' office in #PortlandME
Police said they charged nine people with criminal trespass after they refused to leave and "asked to be arrested"
by Adam Bartow, Updated: 5:54 PM EST Jan 27, 2026
Excerpt: "Police say there were about 50 people protesting and the group was told people would be charged if they did not leave. Police said after several warnings, most people left, but nine stayed 'and asked to be arrested.'
"The First Parish Congregational Church of #GorhamME shared on Facebook, calling it faithful action with 'a large group of #FaithLeaders and people of faith and #conscience, demanding that she use her power to end funding to #ICE and put an end to their campaign of #terror. If you’re on Facebook, please follow #FirstParishCongregationalChurch of Gorham and share widely to amplify this action.'
"Local faith leaders released a statement Tuesday afternoon calling it a #PrayIn.
" 'Masked federal agents using their anger as a tool, causing harm in already vulnerable communities, is the opposite of loving our neighbor,' said Rev. Sara Bartlett, Pastor at Second Congregational Church ( #UCC) in #NorwayME.
"The list of people arrested includes the #pastors at #FirstParishCongregationalChurch in Portland, First Parish Congregational Church of Gorham, #BracketMemorialChurch on #PeaksIsland and the #CongregationalChurch in #CumberlandME."

Looks like the snow has started here. If we do end up with the 12-18 inches the advisories have been warning about, it'll be a mess.
On the bright side, lately I've been doing a lot of informal thinking while shoveling snow. I'm turning over an informal argument grounded on Chaitin incompleteness that if our physical universe has continuous space-time, then we must make non-computable leaps in our theories in order to increase the fidelity of our understanding. "Artificial scientists" running on computers will always have inescapable limits that don't apply to human beings. It's exactly the sort of wacky thing that makes for good shovel thinking: it passes the time, and there might be something in there that's more than passing theoretical fancy.

It took the three of us a bit under 2 hours to dig out from the roughly 18" of snow (slightly more maybe?). One of us is a four year old who loves being a snowplow. His favorite book right now is The Little Snowplow. There were a bunch of woodpeckers at the feeders, undeterred by the weather. We can get the car out and both the postal truck and the propane truck have clear spaces to do their things. I need new boots.
No grand ideas about the universe came to me, but I did realize something about Bénabou cosmoses I didn't know before so that's something.

Bombadier Challenger 650, went from HOU -> BGR, did a pickup at the private jet terminal (in terrible conditions, one of the commercial flights pulled out onto the tarmac and then went back to the terminal, even).
They tried to take off... and flipped, right in front of the tower, it appears. Screened ID on FR24. Guess I should look up the ASN.

"'Meaning, trying to identify them via social media, running their license plates if available, and running a criminal history check,' the official explained.
The directive is part of a sweeping, nationwide effort by U.S. immigration authorities to identify anyone and everyone trying to film their conduct."

"The Department of Homeland Security has ordered immigration officers to gather identifying information about anyone filming them and to 'send that information to Intel who will do a ‘work-up’ on them,' a federal law enforcement official directly involved tells me."
