Protest 3pm today, Boston Park Street Station.

This was shared by MA Peace Action, an org I know and trust.

There appears to be some pro-Maduro framing here, which I disagree with, but the urgent need to protest the illegal coup outweighs that by far imo.

Hi folks. Just to be clear, a date has not yet been announced for the next No Kings. If a PAC you’ve never heard of asks for donations to “organize” it, please block and report them

It's a great question and probably has a lot to do with how incredibly low-productivity our legislature is!

It is the honor of my professional life to be your Congresswoman and I’m running for re-election
Ayanna Pressley in front of an American flag delivering a public address. Overlaid text reads “CONGRESSWOMAN AYANNA PRESSLEY TO RUN FOR RE-ELECTION TO HOUSE” White background with dark text that reads "It is the honor of my professional life to be the Congresswoman for the Massachusetts 7th Congressional District. Together, we’ve fought for policies of deep consequence and delivered for our communities using every tool we have—passing critical legislation to expand mental health and trauma supports, securing tens of millions in federal dollars to build a more just and equitable district, and doing impactful constituent services daily. Today, in the face of hurt and harm, we are pulling together to show up for our neighbors and prove that a more just America is possible." White background with dark text that reads "Hearing from so many people from throughout our Commonwealth encouraging me to run for the United States Senate was deeply humbling and a testament to the strength of our movement. It would be an honor to serve the whole Commonwealth—but with our daughter in her last year at home before college and a district that has been in the crosshairs of this White House, I am certain that the Massachusetts 7th is where I belong in this moment." White background with dark text that reads "That’s why I’m running for re-election to the House of Representatives—to continue building community, governing in close partnership and proximity to my constituents, and continue making progress for the district I’ve proudly represented for the past six years. Now, more than ever, is the time to dig deep, to lean into mutual aid, and to use every tool available to stand in the gap in defense of our neighbors and our democracy.”

Had a wonderful (if rainy) time canvassing JP with @jpprogressives.bsky.social spreading the word about what to do if ICE shows up! Special thanks to the two 20-something roommates who were leaving their unit just as I showed up and asked "want an anti-ICE flyer" to which they said "FUCK YEAH WE DO"

JUST IN: House overwhelmingly passes bill forcing DOJ to publicly release its files on Jeffrey Epstein, a massive rebuke of Trump + his efforts to hide documents potentially tying him to Epstein. huffpost.com/entry/house-... w/ @delaneyrules.bsky.social
