1. Yesterday, millions showed up to the No Kings Rally.

Perhaps no one Rally was as full of subtext as Boston's, however.

Senator Markey showed up wearing a trans pride flag. His challenger, anti-trans Dem Rep. Seth Moulton showed up to boos and jeers.

Don’t be misled by the benign sounding “assist with law enforcement”: once in U.S. cities under the Insurrection Act, federal troops will occupy those cities. 5/

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility - The Boston Globe The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested.

In town near me, a 13 yo was abducted by ICE and sent to a facility in Virginia. He is sleeping on a concrete floor with an aluminum sheet for a blanket, and is being held with adults. He calls his mother crying. I can’t imagine how traumatized this child is. 1/

A poster of Uncle Sam looking at a multiple direction signboard, saying "America needs you join I.C.E. now." It is being shared as a social media post by US Homeland Security under the line, "which way, American man?"

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security today released a new ICE recruiting poster, under the stilted and sexist tagline "which way, American man?"
