Democracy: freedom to protest elected officials; free press without government interference; freedom to love anyone you want; freedom to control your own body; three branches of government to check and balance each other; free elections with all votes counted; freedom to diversify your business
• This is what democracy looks like — in Boston, Massachusetts.
• “Hands Off!” protests against the Trump regime are off to brilliant start — all across America.
