Mayor Wu speaks from the stage to a large crowd at City Hall Plaza.

Thousands of people standing together around a stage on City Hall Plaza.

A close up shot of crowds on the plaza holding signs and rallying at the protest.

Boston is not a city that tolerates tyranny. We will not sit by while Donald Trump and his billionaire friends dismantle the protections that our families count on.

Thank you to the thousands of people who came out today to tell this administration #HandsOffBoston!

Wreckage, Rapists, and Resistance: Week Six of the Coup The Wreckage They used to say war is how Americans learn geography. This civil war as Team Trump lays waste to most federal institutions is how Americans are going to learn what their federal governm...

Trump administration retreats in fight against Russian cyber threats Recent incidents indicate US is no longer characterizing Russia as a cybersecurity threat, marking a radical departure: ‘Putin is on the inside now’

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats.

One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

Don’t sleep on this measles thing

I think Americans have to understand things won't go back to normal and no one is coming to save us. The self destructive decision to vote for Trump is going to cause long term pain, damage and weakness. We have to survive and try to rebuild something better. Generational effort sadly.

It bears repeating.

No One Knows How This Will End (But I Do Not Think It Will End Well for Them) I can sum up the Trump/Musk/Vance theory of power in five words: "We have power; you don't." Alternative version in six words: "we can do anything we want." They seem to believe that nothing is really...

Here, to be exact:

Fascism Isn't Coming To America, It's Here. Do Americans Have the Strength to Drive it Out? Fascism isn’t coming to America, it’s already here.

No one loves America less than Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and the Republican Party

Trump is expected to declare English the nation's official language. America is an Italian word. California, Colorado, Nevada, Montana, and Florida are Spanish, and a bunch of other states have Indigenous names.

US funding cuts to HIV/AIDS programmes in many African countries could lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent, warn health experts and aid organisations.

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Europeans on democracy’s frontlines offer advice to Americans: never give up With the new Trump era likely to pose unprecedented challenges the message from Europe’s fragile democracies is: stay united and safeguard your institutions

"Europeans who witnessed democracy crumble before their eyes have some words of advice for Americans now entering the second Trump era.... stay united, safeguard your civic institutions and never, never give up." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Trump has so far blamed the deadly DCA plane crash on Barack Obama, Joe Biden, the Democratic Party, Pete Buttigieg, the 2020 election, and diversity.

No evidence was provided.

It's like firing over 100 FAA employees, firing the head of the TSA has consequences. It's like "deregulation" and dismantling our government is directly causing the deaths of Americans. He is killing Americans: millions of us will die as a direct result of the chaos he is creating.

America 2025: Germany 1933 Redux

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway.

And those who warned America about it were right.

Since Monday, Trump has:

-Halted civil rights investigations
-Suspended public health advisories
-Frozen infrastructure spending on roads and bridges
-Rescinded an executive order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors

How does this help working people?

Evangelicals, your ruler signed an order for ICE to haul kids from schools, the sick from hospitals, worshippers from church. Is this what your God meant by, "He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you.. you are to love those who are foreigners"?

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

i said a few times here and there before the election that we’ll see what the mass deportation plan looks like when it’s ICE agents dragging grandmothers out of churches and, well, here we are

A decluttering and revisioning session can bring refreshed peace, serenity and focus. In person in Boston metro area, also remote consultations. www.luminousspacedesign.com Also please find my business Luminous Space Design on blue sky at luminousspaced. Cheers!

Just in case people don’t fully grasp it. The pardoning of insurrectionists is Trump’s way of building loyalty from militias and domestic terrorists to carry out unofficial acts for him

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

AOC: I don’t celebrate RAPISTS, so no, I’m not going to the inauguration tomorrow
