Message relayed from Minnesota to Boston via one of the speakers at the abolish ICE rally at MA state house: "do not let them do to you what they are doing to us." Speakers are encouraging preparing and being ready to defend neighbors from ICE.

Crowd chanting "ICE out of Boston now" at the state house

Gathering on the common, protesting against ICE actions. Crowd is energetic, and remains peaceful.

Protest at the Massachusetts state house. peaceful and energetic. The crowd is in the street.

Eyeballing it from my vantage point I'd guess around 1000 people - but tough to say exactly.

Heading to the Common this morning. Abolish ICE.

🚨 WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! 🚨 One of our volunteers, Noah, a veteran who has been doing work as a medic in MN, was arrested and is being held without bail. Please call his reps using the call script!

My tech predictions over the years:

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but: where is the link tree?

It is a sad day in America when a sitting senator, Navy pilot and astronaut, is wrongfully accused of sedition for simply reminding active duty military of their legal obligation to disobey illegal orders. We stand with Senator Kelly and we hope Congress has the wisdom to follow in his example.

So all in all we're now at 15.555... old fashioneds per person. So with 9 people we have exactly 140 old fashioneds to divvy up

The place we were at has $16 old fashioneds. Maple old fashioneds, because I'm a New England girl. Post tax and tip gets us up to $17.14 per drink.

Y'know what, let's round up to an even $18 because if we're on a legendary bender we should tip generously.

So each person needs to rack up $280 of booze in our bender. We could short cut this by getting crazy expensive drinks, but that seems unfair. When you look at Washington's bar tab, they weren't getting the expensive stuff; they heckin' *drank*.

So we'll limit ourselves to on-menu old fashioneds.

The epic bender to celebrate George Washington and the newly finished U.S. Constitution On the president's birthday, let's remember the night in 1787 when the Founding Fathers finished work on the Constitution, and Washington was feted at a Philadelphia tavern. Historians couldn't believ...

Alright napkin math time. According to the Washington Post, Washington's bar tab was "about $15,400 in 21st-century dollars," and there were 55 attendees. (Source: www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropo... )

I'm going for a per-person tab so we have a somewhat fair shake with only the 9 of us.

Ok fine I'll make one of these
