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.

I think Americans have to understand things won't go back to normal and no one is coming to save us. The self destructive decision to vote for Trump is going to cause long term pain, damage and weakness. We have to survive and try to rebuild something better. Generational effort sadly.

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

Evangelicals, your ruler signed an order for ICE to haul kids from schools, the sick from hospitals, worshippers from church. Is this what your God meant by, "He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you.. you are to love those who are foreigners"?
