Yesterday 19 activists from around Maine (Biddeford to Deer Isle and Hancock) gathered in the busy tourist town of Camden. It was about 23 degrees and the cold ground was rough on the feet.
The traffic in Camden is virtually impossible during the summer season but even yesterday in the middle of winter it was steady the entire time we were there.
Fresh on our minds were the relentless zionist attacks currently in the West Bank as the Gaza ceasefire, for now, appears to hold.
Trump is picking up where Biden left off. When it comes to genocide Washington's so-called 'two party system' is on the same page. Trump has resumed sending the big bombs to Israel and is now calling for the expulsion of the people in Gaza.
"It’s literally a demolition site, almost everything is demolished and people are dying there so I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing at a different location where they can maybe live in peace for a change," Trump told reporters from the White House pool on board Air Force One, adding that resettlement of Gaza refugees could be either temporary or long-term.
Trump is looking for a country willing to take in the expelled Palestinians. He's also thrown out the name of Indonesia but that nation denies any such discussions.
So the tag-team game has proved to be working. Biden and Blinken provided Israel with the weapons and the political cover to start the genocide. Then Trump comes in to finish the job. True bi-partisanship at work as they like to say in DC.
Today there will be a big protest in Portland (Maine's biggest city) by a broad coalition of groups. I plan to attend.
As dark as things seem right now we must not give in to despair. We must stay determined to resist the corporate consolidation of our government.
The future generations depend on us.

PS The next of our monthly protests in different cities around the state will be in Saco on Saturday, Feb 22 at 1:30 pm. We'll stand on the Main St. bridge (Main and Water Streets in Saco, also Main and Water Streets in Biddeford) which runs over Factory Island.
