There were two agitators at the Boston one. The guy was clearly trying to provoke, but no altercations , just a little shouting. No arrests. The safety marshals were on it too and stayed close to the agitators.

Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans.

This is Washington at its worst.

We need to ban Congressional stock trading.

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😑

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.

Make it make sense.

1M people in Boston Alone!!!

It helps that it’s β€œNo Kings/Yaaas Queens” (Pride) day combined…but US β€œhands off” protests ALL added up to 1M total!!!

I think we’re going to start seeing some REAL Trump disapproval stats after this weekend.

I'm 100% behind protestors everywhere against ICE, and so should you be and so should your elected officials and you should tell them that.

Does anyone know what he's talking about?

Where are the showers not working? Where are the dishwashers not doing the job? Where is this coming from?

I feel like an investigation will show that Trump shafted a plumbing contractor and they got revenge by messing with the pipes at Mar-a-Lago.

Genuinely unreal turnout in Boston for the #HandsOff2025 rally.

Americans are taking to the streets in a MASSIVE protest against Trump/Musk.

2026 is going to be a reckoning.

Seven polling sites in Milwaukee ran out of ballots due to "historic turnout" according to city election director. More ballots are being printed and on way. Very important to remind voters that if they're in line when polls close at 8 CT they get to vote. Do not leave. Please spread the word

Longest Senate filibusters ever:

Strom Thurmond - opposing voting rights for black people

Ted Cruz - opposing health care for poor people

Cory Booker - opposing fascism

#filibuster

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke.

Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours.

Incredible.

The GOP fought tooth & nail for decades against classifying acts of racial terrorism as federal hate crimes because they saw it as "federal over reach." Now they're all "ooh, let's make it a federal crime to vandalize cars built by the world's richest man who's also our biggest campaign donor."

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
