The Maine Democratic Socialists of America (Maine DSA) and the Maine Direct Action Solidarity Fund has launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise bail money for their “comrades” who may be arrested during future pro-Palestine protests.
According to a post shared to Maine DSA’s Instagram page, the crowdfunding campaign is “to raise bail funds for an upcoming action,” with the goal of raising a total of $2,723.
The “upcoming action,” which presumably would involve illegal conduct based on the need to raise bail funds, is not specified in the post.
“If you have the financial ability, please consider donating so we can reach our goal and ensure any comrades who are arrested in support of a free Palestine will be able to get out of jail,” the post reads.
“Raising bail funds is also class solidarity, as it makes participating in actions more accessible to poor and working class people,” it states.
According to the Maine Direct Solidarity Fund’s Instagram page, they first began gathering bail funds after a November 2023 pro-Palestine “sit-in” at Democratic Rep. Jared Golden’s (ME-02) Bangor office resulted in the arrests of seven people.
A similar sit-in protest at Rep. Chellie Pingree’s (ME-01) Portland office in November resulted in the arrests of five members of the Maine DSA.

The “solidarity fund” was also used to bail out the “comrades” who were arrested for blockading traffic at a February pro-Palestine protest at Exit 7 of I-295 in Portland, according to the group.
The Maine DSA has been involved in staging several pro-Palestine protests throughout the state since the Israel-Hamas war was started by the Hamas attack against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
A pro-Palestine rally organized by the Maine DSA in Portland’s Monument Square in October featured a speaker calling Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel “morally and legally legitimate.”

Collectivist Left is no different than Collectivist Right.
They are infected with the Oppressor/Oppressed mentality.
They are all infected with the Marxist “struggle” session.
They will become so blinded with the hatred of “others” that it will rip our society apart.

“…examples of murderous cruelty are documented daily. Unarmed Palestinians, including those waving white flags, have been shot dead by israeli soldiers. Palestinian parents have been executed in cold blood in front of their children. There have been repeated episodes of israeli forces gunning down en masse desperate Palestinians trying to reach aid, as happened yet again this week.
Even israeli hostages trying to escape their captors have been killed by the very israeli soldiers they were trying to surrender to.
These are just some of the cases of israeli sadism and barbarity that have surfaced briefly in western media coverage, soon to be forgotten.”
