We just made it crystal clear: working people are not backing down.
Across the country, we rallied, marched, and stood in solidarity to defend our rights and our freedom to organize.
This is what a movement looks like.

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.

These two feet I have. I wore a brace on them to bed as a baby because I was pigeon-toed. Still am. But damn, they have taken me places I could not have dared to dream. And when things feel adrift, I can look down at my feet and know that I am firmly planted.
an amazing exercise in my somatic choir tonight:
make a list of every resource you have that brings you comfort, peace, and joy: memories, activities, people, places
then, really dive into one of those things. why does this thing help? explain how it feels, notice how you feel as you explain

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.
