This video, better than stills, illustrates just how many people marched in Boston yesterday.
City hall plaza, filled from the JFK federal building, stretching across Cambridge St and all the way down Tremont St to Boylston.

I wondered when somebody would bring up Soros again. Now where are all of my checks?
Mike Johnson: "The problem is they're being ambushed by right now by in many cases paid protesters. You've got George Soros-funded groups. They are very well organized ... the actual constituents of these Republican members can't actually make it into the arenas."

They want federal employees to suffer psychological abuse and not speak to press about it. It’s not difficult to imagine them coming after members of the media next. Scary shit, but silence is not an option.
DHS has begun performing polygraph tests on employees to find leakers

How much better would you feel if there was a large cohort of Dems out there being absolutely relentless on these points? Relentless in the same way that the GOP is about attacking Dems, or pushing deranged bigoted conspiracy theories? A group you could think "Yes, they've got my back, at least"?

@altnps.bsky.social looks like it's time for other departments to come on board: Alt CDC, Alt NIH and Alt HHS are three that quickly come to mind.

Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.

Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause."
They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.
Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

It's extraordinary how conservatives just can't envision being a person who actually cares about other people. A mass action against hate speech is "virtue signaling" or "astroturfing" or some other kind of fakery, never just real people sincerely defending real beliefs.

I agree with the commenter: a driver hit an elderly woman who was walking in Charlestown.
11 people have been killed as a pedestrian on City of Boston streets so far this year. Of those, 7 were a child, an older adult, or a person using a wheelchair. This is the work: rebuilding our streets to protect people most at risk.

Thanks everyone for the starter packs-for months my feed was literally line after line of MBTA alerts. On the plus side, I learned about a bunch of bus routes, but it's good to have the beginnings of conversations.
