Good discussion.
I agree with @hcrichardson.bsky.social on targeted strikes vs. a general strike in the US. The political scientist in me urges many to go back and better understand the period from 1870 through Jim Crow.

In votes over the past 2 days the Senate has voted to repeal Trump's tariffs on Brazil and Canada. It's a remarkable rebuke of Trump, a sign of growing discontent inside the GOP.

The annual Honk Festival in Davis Square in Somerville is a great example of placemaking, driven by a community and supported by city government. This is School of Honk, (who accept all who want to join in) performing in Seven Hills Park in Davis Square.
