This week, I stood with NOAA employees to push back against the Trump Administration’s dangerous assault on science, data, and the very agency that helps sustain our marine ecosystems and coastal communities.

Today on #WorldOceansDay, I’m thinking about Maine's lobster and fishermen, and the many coastal communities that depend on healthy oceans and science.
These are just a few of the stories that showcase the spirit of inclusivity that's become hallmarks of our great state.
This Pride Month, let’s celebrate the courage and creativity of those working to build a more just and welcoming world for the LGBTQIA+ community—right here at home. (8/8)
One of the participants wrote this:
“June, finally here. Everyone celebrates the end of school, but we have more to celebrate. It’s our month, our glorious month of joy.”
What a wonderful sentiment—and a testament to what’s possible when we give people the space to express themselves. (7/8)
Even in relatively populated areas, finding community isn’t always easy—especially for LGBTQIA+ young people.
In Cumberland, the town’s youth and teen librarian, Jennifer Benham, organized a Pride Month poetry slam to give kids an outlet to express themselves. (6/8)
Living in relatively remote areas can be incredibly challenging for LGBTQIA+ people. That’s what makes organizations like Pride Aroostook so special. Through things like film festivals, luncheons, and other gatherings, this nonprofit has become a beacon in the community. (5/8)
Then there’s the story of Caleb, a transgender asylum seeker from Honduras. After escaping violence in his home country, Caleb made the harrowing journey to the U.S., eventually settling in Maine.
It was the first time people really accepted him for who he is.
That’s Mainers for you. (4/8)
In 2021, a Brunswick resident named Kyle Warnock launched a nonprofit to heighten LGBTQIA+ visibility in the Portland area.
Today, Queerly hosts “trail mixers,” foraging walks, and other outdoor activities to bring people together—and highlight the interconnectedness of all living things. (3/8)
Like in Yarmouth, where last year a group of allies—led by Town Councilor Heather Abbott—helped pass a resolution recognizing Pride.
The town’s Pride Picnic drew a far larger crowd than expected.
“The more word got out,” Abbott said, “the more people wanted to be involved.”
I love that! (2/8)
🧵
Earlier this week, in honor of #PrideMonth, I shared an article about Ogunquit, a small Maine town where the courage and conviction of local residents helped make it a haven for the LGBTQIA+ community.
It’s a spirit that can be felt throughout our state. (1/8)
Even in relatively populated areas, finding community isn’t always easy—especially for LGTBQIA+ young people.

Submit a short video (30 seconds or less) about why public media matters to YOU.

Do you rely on Maine Public for local news?
Did Sesame Street help your kids learn to read?
Do you watch the state basketball championship every year?
I want to hear from you!
This week, Trump’s White House sent Congress a $9.4 billion budget rescission package—which includes provisions to defund public media like NPR, PBS, +Maine Public.
This is an attack on trusted journalism, childhood education, and the voices that keep rural states like Maine connected and informed.
The bad news: The 85% force reduction ordered by DOGE will remain in place, and states not involved in the suit will not see funding reinstated.
Clawing back spending approved by Congress is illegal. We must keep up the pressure to restore funding + operational capacity to this vital agency. (2/2)
Thanks to a lawsuit filed by Maine and 23 other states, a federal judge has ruled that the Trump Administration must restore hundreds of millions of dollars in AmeriCorps grant funding, ensuring that the organization’s critical work—and more than 100 positions in our state—can continue. (1/2)
