I had to miss yesterday's @bearingwitnessice.bsky.social so I attended the #Justice4All gathering at the #BostonICEDetention facility today. On Thursday's you see more ICE "appointments" which is heartbreaking. We need to make #Justice4All as voluminous as the prior day to "squeeze" ICE more.

Earlier this evening #BadBunny DEMONSTRATED why he is the most popular recording artist in the WORLD! Thank you #Benito, for DELIVERING THE GOODS!!!! #MikeDrop.

A timely, meaningful, and INSPIRATIONAL vigil for the #AmericanHero #AlexPretti this evening at the #VA in #JamaicaPlain. Thanks to everyone who put this together especially @socialistalt.bsky.social. And thanks to all for extending the invitation. Truly, an AMAZING evening.

A GREAT DAY today with an AWESOME turnout in sub-freezing temperatures at the #ArlingtonMA @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social and a record 950 #RESISTERS at @bearingwitnessice.bsky.social. DEAD of winter and the crowds of resisters continue to GROW! Not a "good sign" for our current "president."

Despite a standing temperature of 14 degrees, there was a very good turnout on #BeaconHill this morning for the #ICEOutEverywhere Rally. #Boston standing in solidarity with #Minneapolis. #MiseryLovesCompany, especially in these incredibly dark times.

I just saw @28yearslater.bsky.social BONE TEMPLE, the GREATEST dark film I’ve EVER SEEN! Plus a soundtrack including @durandurancom.bsky.social, @radiohead.wastehq.social and @ironmaiden.bsky.social!!! Thank you all for bringing the GREATEST dystopian film of ALL TIME!!!!

Once @brucespringsteen.net writes a song critical of you is right about the time you KNOW you’re FUCKED! Ladies and gentlemen, we’re at a tipping point directed in favor of decency and morality. Thank you #Boss, for vividly describing this dark moment in time. m.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS...

Moving over once again to RedNote. I love the global coverage but disappointed in its “less edgy” left leaning angles. Also, I PREFER being “observed” by the PRC rather than Oracle….

Great way to “celebrate” the one-year anniversary since “Dear Leader” occupied the “oval,” FOR THE SECOND TIME. #WalkOutForAFreeAmerica, and #StopICE in Copley Square. Single digit temps DID NOT discourage the #RESISTANCE! #FDT. I can’t wait until this #NIGHTMARE is OVER!

Another day and another demonstration in #Boston against the #FDT "administration." Thanks to @world-beyond-war.bsky.social, @mikeconnollyma.bsky.social, @evanforcambridge.bsky.social and the LEGONDARY #BostonCityCouncilorAtLarge #JuliaMejiad for all of your INSPIRATIONAL words. #MiseryLovesCompany.

Photos taken from from the CLASSIC @rageagainst.bsky.social @tommorelloofficial.bsky.social #SleepNowInTheFire video. They called out #Rudy and #CoreyLewandowski WAY BEFORE they were “in control.” We should have listened prior to our DEMISE.

Record number of attendees today @bearingwitnessice.bsky.social and #ArlingtonMA @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social. All thoughts with #ReneeNicoleGood and Family. Bring to justice #JonathanRoss.

Today's #ArlingtonMA @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social deviated from one message to commuters departing the Greater #Boston area via Route 2 and added another message to those entering the Greater Boston area. Thanks to all of you who "honked" your approval. #MiseryLovesCompany

At the Boston ICE Detention facility earlier today protesting #ICE, while on ice. We had no IDEA that a mother in #Minnesota was MURDERED by #TrumpsGestapo. #FuckTrump and his #Enablers...

If you're in the #Boston area visit an exhibit at the #ArmenianMuseumOfAmerica focusing on a GREAT frontman @dailyserjtankian.bsky.social from #SystemOfADown. Serj's artwork is AMAZING plus you get to see the awesome core collection. You really get a deep understanding of this true Renaissance Man.

Watching the ceremonial inauguration of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social I couldn't get these two images out of my mind. @barackobama.bsky.social in Grant Park 2008 and Mayor Mamdani in City Hall Park yesterday. #Hope is indeed still alive in 2026.

Attending the last @bearingwitnessice.bsky.social of 2025 at the #Boston ICE Detention Facility today House Minority Whip @whipkclark.bsky.social. Thank you for your leadership during these dark times. A proud Arlington constituent in your Massachusetts 5th Congressional District.

Many gather weekly in front of the #BostonICEDetention facility. Coincidently, that specific facility is below the John G. Trump radiological medical building. John G. created a technique to better treat various cancers. I often wonder what he would think of his nephews treatment of "the other."

Thank you @markey.senate.gov for joining us this week @bearingwitnessice.bsky.social. Cheers to you and the entire #MassachusettsCongressionalDelegation for representing this GREAT #Commonwealth in #WashingtonDC during such dark times.

I had the privledge of seeing #WolfgangVanHalen's band #Mammoth. I know for a fact his Mom @wolfiesmom.bsky.social is beyond proud and his father #EVH, taken from us way too soon is looking down with pride. The musicianship of #WVH and indeed the entire Mammoth band is #TopShelf! An amazing show.

If the #Democrats fold this evening, I will FOREVER be ashamed for taking this photo with @schumer.senate.gov. Also, if the DEMs cave this evening, I will push to "expand" the #TACO reference to the DEMs under #DACO.

Thank you #FuerzaWaltham and @walthammassmemes.bsky.social for an AMAZING DAY condemning #ICE in #WalthamMA aka #WatchCity. The speakers and music were AWESOME. I can't wait for the next #AntiICEaction. Plus the #ArtDeco style of the #EasternMiddleSex Courthouse is EPIC!

Yesterday, I had the privilege of witnessing an amazing #SpokenWord event. Michael Anderson and Daniel Berger-Jones have a unique story telling style that will provide the audience with an alternative view of various historical narratives. Check it out on November 9th at the #FoundryCambridge.

Humor will "tame" our current US authoritarian regime. See @mcclennen65.bsky.social and Srdja Popovic's great piece describing how "laughtivism" positively impacted #resistance mvt's worldwide. @roadsteamer.bsky.social and his LEGENDARY "concerts", will eventually prove that point here in the US.

Yes!!! Lockjaw doppelganger.

Wednesday's are EXTREMELY ACTIVE in the greater #Boston area. #BearWitness@ICEinBurlington and the #ArlingtonMA @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social over Route 2. Thanks to all of the #Resistence organizers during this extremely dark time here in the #UnitedStates. #immigrantsrights, #socialjustice

I had an AMAZING time at the #NoKIngs Boston rally on The Common. In addition to witnessing an inspirational speech by the GREAT @mayorwu.boston.gov, I was able to meet my #Anti-ICE HERO @roadsteamer.bsky.social, fresh out of #ICE "detention" in Portland, Oregon. A historical day!!!

ALERT @crooked.com, @rhodesben.bsky.social is MOONLIGHTING as head coach for the #SeattleSeahawks. Praising Ben for coaching an NFL Team and thoughtfully commenting on our current US #PoliticalShitShow.

I had the opportunity last week to see two amazing young bands, #Mirador (a @jaketkiszka.bsky.social and #ChrisTurpin project) and #Turnstile. As an early #GenXer, I'm more than happy to report that the future of #Rock/#Hardcore is in GREAT HANDS.

I had a GREAT time participating in Boston's #FirstLaborDayMarch organized by @50501movement.bsky.social. A great turnout criticizing the obscene wealth of the "billionaire class" and the treatment of #Unions by the US "president." Plus, I got to meet one of my HEROs, Kenny McCormick of #SouthPark.
