Now that the news is out that ICE is on the way to terrorize Maine...

...I believe one of the most effective ways to make change is to make the monied interests feel pain. These are some of Trump's top donors from the state of Maine:

Libby Delucia-Harting
Acadia Auto Auctions
Wishcamper Companies
Milliken & Co

If Trump is hurting your state, hurt his donors economically as best you can.

And has < than 70k people. If you eliminate the eastern part of the county - the towns along the last part of I95 and route 1, the huge western part is pretty remote.

It’s been a long, long time since I was up there (and only in the well traveled areas) but I probably wouldn’t consider driving in the areas he was talking about. That takes a special kind of hardiness, and a BIG truck, lol.
