More than 1,000 rally in #PortlandME against #Trump, #ICE
The protest in Monument Square was just one of many demonstrations across the U.S. on Friday.
by Drew Johnson, January 30, 2026
PORTLAND — "Friday’s protest appeared to be one of the city’s largest in months, dwarfing recent protests that occurred during much warmer weather on hot, sunny summer weekends.
"But it was a frigid January afternoon, and more than 1,000 people turned out anyway. They huddled together, chanting, cheering and holding their signs over the clouds rising from their breaths.
"Real estate was scarce in Monument Square as the demonstrators condemned Trump administration policies, most notably the recent surge of federal immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota and Maine.
"The crowd stretched from One Monument Square to the bus stop across Center Street and lined the opposite side of Congress Street. When they marched, they extended from the square well down Exchange Street. They eventually made it all the way to Commercial Street, with police blocking off roads and forming an escort.
"The protest in Portland was just one of many demonstrations across the U.S. on Friday, which included a general strike where businesses shut down and students walked out of class, from #California, #Arizona and #Colorado, to #Michigan, #Minnesota and Maine.
"More than 200 Maine businesses participated in some capacity, either by closing their doors or donating a portion of profits to groups and organizations helping immigrants. Some businesses lined the square with tables, handing out hot chocolate, coffee and treats to demonstrators. Many area high schoolers — including in Portland and #LewistonME — walked out of or skipped school altogether."

#Arizona, where someone was shot this morning by Border Control, now they are driving by and pepper spraying people on the sidewalk
Just because it's cooling down in #Minneapolis doesn't mean it's over at all
Talked to SFGATE about this year's super-early Joshua tree bloom, the lab's call for help tracking it on iNaturalist, and what it may mean for our favorite spiky desert plants
Joshua trees are flowering in the Calif. desert. That’s bad news.
