I just canceled my Spotify subscription to protest their running ads in support of ICE's lawless and inhumane campaign to terrorize immigrants and Americans alike.

Fantastic turnout for #nokings here in #GreatBarringtonMA, more than 1,100 of us, to remind Trump that in America we have a constitutional democracy, not a monarchy. #nokingsgreatbarringtonma

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."

RSVP at www.nokings.org#map
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.

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.

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.

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.
Despite his threats, Governor Abbott can’t remove lawmakers from office for protecting the right to vote.

I sent him a letter to remind him of what all Texans know: the Governor is not a king.

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.

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
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.

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

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

"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."

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.
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.
