One would think that a pro-democracy resolution like this would pass easily and unanimously on the Boston City Council, but @edflynnforboston.bsky.social blocked it from being taken up on Wednesday. Very disappointing to see.

OFFERED BY COUNCILORS BENJAMIN J. WEBER & ENRIQUE J. PEPÉN CITY OF BOSTON IN THE YEAR TWO THOUSAND TWENTY FIVE RESOLUTION FOR JULY 4, 2025, IN SUPPORT OF DEMOCRACY AND CALLING ON OUR FEDERAL LEADERS FOR A RETURN TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES THAT ARE THE FOUNDATION OF THIS REPUBLIC WHEREAS, As we near our country’s Independence Day on July 4, 2025, the City of Boston and the Boston City Council take pride as the birthplace of the American Revolution and the beginning of open rebellion against King George III and the British monarchy; and WHEREAS, The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts of 1780 is the oldest functioning written constitution in the world and served as a model for the United States Constitution of 1789. Written by John Adams, the Commonwealth’s constitution includes key aspects of American governance that are now widely accepted: separation of powers; checks and balances; an independent judiciary; and the Declaration of Rights, provisions that protect individuals against state power that would be reflected in the U.S. Constitution as the Bill of Rights; and WHEREAS, One of the foundational pillars of our democracy is the separation of powers embodied within the Constitutional framework. As James Madison wrote in Federalist Paper No. 47, “The accumulation of all powers legislative, executive and judiciary in the same hands, whether of one, a few or many, and whether hereditary, self appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny”; and WHEREAS, During the first six months of his second term, however, President Trump and his appointees have shown a blatant disregard for the separation of powers by disobeying court rulings, attempting to overturn birthright citizenship, denying foundational civil liberties such as habeas corpus, withholding Congressionally approved funds, closing Congressionally created departments and agencies, unilaterally imposing tariffs, deploying the U.S. military on U.S. soil a… withholding funds from and attempting institution-wide censorship of Boston’s world-renowned educational, healthcare and scientific institutions, threatening military interventions to interrupt activities that are plainly protected free speech under the Constitution, rescinding protections for members of our LGBTQIA+ community, weakening access to gender-affirming healthcare, harming our college graduates by creating obstacles to student loan forgiveness, and cutting veterans healthcare and employment services; and WHEREAS, The actions of President Trump and his administration have led other major cities like Philadelphia to pass resolutions calling for an end to behavior that resembles that of a monarch and tramples upon the founding principles of our Constitution; and WHEREAS, The people of Boston have shown repeatedly through protests and rallies large and small, in the City’s center, in neighborhoods, in elderly communities, and elsewhere, that we expect democracy, respect the Constitution, and are willing to stand up for both; NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That the Boston City Council urges the Massachusetts Congressional delegation to push their Congressional colleagues to exercise their legislative authority to enforce the Constitution, to work with the Judicial Branch to restore the separation of powers, to ensure that illegal or unconstitutional acts, including acts of corruption, are overturned, and to demonstrate in all actions that the United States of America has no king. Due to President Trump’s recent decision to launch air strikes on Iran without Congressional authorization and given that this is the last City Council meeting before July 4th, an emergency resolution is hereby necessary to expedite the filing and consideration of this resolution.
