Anybody who tells you that repealing Section 230 of the CDA is a good idea is not in step with the vast majority of civil liberties groups, internet legal scholars, independent content creators, etc. @eff.org offers sensible, logical perspectives on this issue. Don't get caught up in the propaganda

I'm very pleased to see that Newton Mayor Marc Laredo, along with several area mayors, city managers, and attorney generals, have taken a principled stand against unconstitutional federal actions that interfere with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. #Newton #NewtonIndivisible

It's wonderful to see that #NewtonIndivisible Rallies Action Team is out at the intersection of Beacon and Centre Streets in Newton Center, rain or shine, wind or hail, snow or heat, from noon to 1:00 p.m. Join them next week and meet people dedicated to social justice, democracy, and due process.

Neither snow nor rain nor ICE nor gloom of winter weather stays these Bridge Brigaders from the expression of their message calling all good people to come to the aid of our democracy.

An opportunity to learn from the wonderful folks in Minnesota who have responded with vigor and solidarity to promote the rule of law, resist unconstitutional federal actions, and protect their communities:

Minnesota artists offer inspiration, I'm reminded of these words by Marshall McLuhan, “The poet, the artist, the sleuth - whoever sharpens our perception tends to be antisocial; rarely ’well-adjusted,’...” (From The Medium is the Message).

ICE kills! DHS lies! GOP enables!

“…when outrage finally breaks through complacency, understand this […] This is a glimpse into a reality Black families have lived with for generations. The question is not whether you feel it now. The question is whether you will finally listen and truly understand.“ — @cwebbonline.com

While Trump was out of office the right was obsessed with free speech; now that Trump is in power the right is obsessed with censorship; hypocrisy of the highest order

Inspirational, we can’t stand by and let democracy die; “don’t tread on me” and “live free or die” are phrases we must wrestle away from the right; I don’t pine our old constitutional republic; I do pine for the aspirations in our Declaration of Independence; we hold these truths to be self evident…

In these times I'm reminded of these words: “…if you want to know what’s going on in a culture look at the things that everybody takes for granted, and put a lot of emphasis on that rather than what they want to show you.” — Bruce Conner (1933–2008), michelle-silva.squarespace.com/news/1993/1/...

Citizens are braving the cold to demand that both Congress and corporate enablers help rein in ICE. This is a good time to withdraw your money and #BoycottCitizens. And you are better off anyway banking with a Credit Union in which you are a shareholder, not a customer. #ICEOutforGood #DeICECitizens

Labeling Renee Good a “Domestic Terrorist” Distorts the Law The Trump administration’s misuse of the term reached new levels after an ICE officer killed Good in her car.

Labeling Renee Good a “Domestic Terrorist” Distorts the Law. The Trump admin's misuse of the term reached new levels after an ICE officer killed Good in her car. This article makes an important point. Don't miss the final paragraph. #law #language #politics www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

Madness is a mild term for what this is…

Working together, we will get through these dark times. #NoKings

My hope for 2026 is that concerned citizens continue to join the #indivisible movement to work towards restoring justice, rule of law, due process, freedom, and democracy, setting an example by coming together to #Resist26 the authoritarian overreach and demonstrate that in America we have #NoKings

SCOTUS Says Trump Can Use Government Power to Shut Down News Outlets That Criticize Him Supreme Court ruling boosts Trump’s control over independent agencies, heightening risks to media freedom and fair regulation.

“Trump has made it clear that he couldn’t care less about the First Amendment […] Supreme Court is supposed to care, but as Republican justices have shown repeatedly in their rulings, giving more power to Republican politicians is their only concern.” — Dean Baker cepr.net/publications... #NoKings

It’s the opportunity to show off gorgeous halation perhaps?

Trump Finally Meets A Problem His Lies Cannot Overcome: Rising Grocery Prices Trump keeps claiming that prices are ‘way down’ — but with food inflation running nearly twice the rate as it was in Biden’s last year, Americans are not fooled.

The Trump adm and Republican enablers may have met a problem that lies and propaganda can't sweep away.
