Letter: No Kings rallies against authoritarianism To the editor: In June, millions of us participated in the first No Kings day of protest organized by Indivisible and other pro-democracy groups.

My thoughts on why it's so important to turn out on Oct 18 for the next #NoKings rally.

"In America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against Trump’s lawlessness, chaos, corruption and cruelty. Don’t despair. Get energized and turn your anger into action."

Mom-in-law & I enjoyed meeting @jeromiewhalen.bsky.social, Democratic candidate for Congress MA 1st district.

Voters deserve choices. His platform aligns w/ things I care about: universal healthcare, education, reducing income inequality.

He's serious about winning. I like what I hear.

Opinion | Stop Acting Like This Is Normal

Persuasive. It's time for Congressional Democrats to take a bold, coherent stand against Trump and his MAGA sycophants in Congress. With a clear promise of what Democratic control means for the American people.

Here's your opportunity to make your voice heard in support of keeping people alive by following science and investing in public health. Everything that Trump and HHS Sec'y RFK Jr. are against.

Letter: Workers Over Billionaires rally set for Labor Day in Great Barrington To the editor: For decades, Republicans have been at war against working people.

Just another example: when Republicans can't win playing by the rules they cheat. Gerrymandering TX to stay in power is just one more example. They know they'll lose control of Congress in the midterm elections because cutting taxes for the rich by cutting healthcare is widely unpopular.

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

I just called my Senators to express my opposition to appointment of Emil Bove to federal judiciary. He is one of the most unqualified persons ever to be nominated. He was recorded telling DOJ lawyers to ignore court orders.

CALL YOUR SENATORS TODAY, the vote is about to happen.https://5calls.org

Great to be part of the effort with South County Resistance that got hundreds to turn out for the #GoodTroubleLivesOn national protest to honor the legacy of John Lewis and make some #GoodTroubleNecessaryTrouble to stop to the authoritarian takeover by Donald Trump. #thisiswhatdemocracylookslike

Them voting against this confirmed there’s a list, and their sitting president is on it along with the rest of their allies.

Social Security Administration Email Covers Up the Truth The Trump/GOP budget bill isn't good for Social Security, but you wouldn't know that from the SSA's propaganda email.

The propaganda email I got from the Social Security Administration just hours after House Republicans approved Trump’s budget bill infuriated me. So my 4th of July morning activity was to set the record straight. #4thofjuly #handsoffsocialsecurity

As if stripping healthcare insurance & cutting Medicaid for millions isn't enough, Senate GOP voted to repeal restrictions on silencers in place since 1934, making it easier for mass shooters, snipers & assassins to conceal gunfire & evade detection. Take action, write your Rep! @newtownaction.org

Read this letter to Senate Judiciary Committee from very conservative Society for the Rule of Law. It makes clear why Emil Bove is dangerously unfit to serve on the federal judiciary.

In his role at DOJ, he directed staff to ignore court orders. He's simply carrying out Trump's lawless agenda.

Oppose Trump Attorney Emil Bove for Federal Court Judge ⭑ 5 Calls Trump has nominated Emil Bove, one of his hush money trial criminal defense attorneys, to serve as a federal appeals court judge on the 3rd U.S. …

I just called @warren.senate.gov & @markey.senate.gov to oppose nomination of Emil Bove. He's supremely unqualified, exposed by very credible whistleblower.

Even more compelling is Society for Rule of Law opposing nomination in blistering terms (see link in comments).

CALL YOUR SENATORS TOO!

Impressive turnout for #nokings rally in #greatbarringtonma. Response from people driving by was fantastic, non-stop honking. #thisiswhatdemocracylookslike

"Just because Abrego Garcia is back on US soil doesn’t mean Trump should be let off the hook. Judge Xinis should punish the officials who blatantly disregarded her orders. If they were sincere in their respect for upholding the Constitution, Congressional Republicans would be calling for the same."

The @jrnewtownaction.bsky.social hosted a powerful and meaningful #wearorange rally. So glad to be part of it.

Join me on June 14

Trump is defying courts, ignoring the Constitution, giving tax cuts to himself and billionaires, damaging our economy and hurting everyday Americans. That's why I'm taking to the streets on No Kings Day for a nationwide day of defiance. app.sosha.ai/s/XKlBMF7S

June 6 I will #wearorange to recognize #NationalGunViolenceAwarenessDay, honoring victims of gun violence & continuing my commitment to advocate for common-sense gun regulation & funding for anti-violence programs.

Opinion: CT's complicit Republicans The silence of Republican elected officials is putting the economic security, health and safety of Americans, and our democracy at grave risk.

My op-ed calling out the silence of the Republicans that represent me, that makes them complicit in Trump's lawless, corrupt and inhumane attacks on our democracy, civil rights and freedoms.

Stopping the SAVE Act must be a priority to protect the freedom to vote and our democracy. Thank you for trying to stop Trump in court.

Republicans are running away from Town Hall meetings.

House Democrats are leaning into them.

Once again, Trump goes after women Restoring gun rights for convicted felons puts women at risk.

Once again, Trump goes after women. Campaigning for his second term, Donald Trump told NRA members that he was “the best friend gun owners ever had in the White House.” For once, he wasn’t lying.

I just urged my Senators to vote against HR1526, dangerous bill that would prevent federal courts from issuing nationwide injunctions against exec orders deemed illegal.

It MUST be stopped. VERY important to call your Senators, even they oppose the bill.

Thank you @democracyforward.org for protecting America against the corrupt, lawless Trump administration that is degrading our nation’s infrastructure.
