And if the Democrats ever win power again, our President and Congress must work to ensure the horrors of the Trump era never happen again. Imagine if Obama and Dems actually investigated Bush’s war crimes instead of letting bygones be bygones.

In his statement last week, the president said: "This is a time for reflection, not retribution. I respect the strong views and emotions that these issues evoke. We have been through a dark and painful chapter in our history. But at a time of great challenges and disturbing disunity, nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past."

215 people protested today outside of the Burlington ICE facility. 🔥✊🏻🔥✊🏻🔥

Heres the link to the organizers’ YouTube channel to view speeches from today’s peaceful protest:

#ShutItDown
Screenshot of an email that reads: “Thank you to all who were able to Bear Witness @ ICE in Burlington today. We stood 215+ strong in support of immigrants and their rights, and to express our shame at ICE. At the start of our gathering we heard from two powerful speakers. Rev. Andrew Harris (Pastor at UCC Burlington) spoke about the power of mercy and love: “Whether you have faith in my God, or your God, or a God, or no God, by being here you are testifying to your faith in the power of transformation – from evil to good, from hatred to love, from violence to peace, from cruelty to mercy, from injustice to justice, and from shackles to liberation.” We also heard from immigration attorney Matt Cameron who spoke about the administrative violence perpetrated by our government: “The very worst things that we do to each other are not done with handcuffs and they’re not done in cells. They’re done in office buildings… People just signing memos and sending emails and showing up to meetings, and that’s all it takes to kill people, that’s all it takes to destroy families.” Please visit our Youtube channel to watch these incredible speeches. A special thanks to those who brought water (and popsicles), and to those who served as marshals. We will continue bearing witness to support immigrants, and we hope to stand alongside you on future Wednesdays.”

#NoKings #ThisIsWhatDemocracyLooksLike
Screenshot of email that reads. Hello all, What: weekly Stand-outs in Marblehead Why: In light of the success of the No Kings Rally in Marblehead on 6/14, several activists have decided to offer a regular weekly stand-out in Marblehead. Also, FWIW most towns on the North Shore are now doing weekly stand-outs: Swampscott, Ipswich, Lynn, Burlington, Hamilton, Danvers, Beverly, Middleton, Topsfield (and others?) - Marblehead should too! When: Saturdays 5-6pm - beginning tonight Sat 6/21/25 Where: Rt 114 intersection with Maple/Lafayette (adjacent to Glabicky Field): where Rally was held on 6/14 Who: This was Kate Borten's idea, but very much appreciated by Marblehead Alliance for Democracy (MAD) Bring your own creative signs and join the Resistance! It's fun, like going to a block party! Hope to see you there!

Loving @ezralevin.bsky.social’s nod to Andor with his wardrobe choice during tonight’s #NoKings @indivisible.org meeting.

I need this shirt!

Ezra also remarked that we have friends everywhere. We do indeed.

Donald Trump? Not so much.

Here are @moulton.house.gov's remarks after touring the Burlington ICE facility.

Absolutely horrific. Please investigate, @massago.bsky.social.

#AbolishICE #MeltICE #MaPoli
Excerpt of an article that reads: ‘Inhumane, for long-term detention’ After speaking to reporters with Gomes Da Silva, Moulton and Auchincloss went inside the ICE facility to see the conditions for themselves. The two U.S. Marine Corps veterans said it was worse than anything either had personally seen during their military service. They saw some of the cells in the facility, each of which had about half a dozen people and no windows, Moulton said. “When we were going on hikes in the Marine Corps, and you’d have a thin mat to sleep on at night ... that’s more than they have here,” he said. “So for anyone like Marcelo, who’s actually expected to stay here, to sleep here with no beds, not what anyone else would call a blanket, sparse food, no windows. It’s obviously completely inappropriate, I would say inhumane, for long-term detention.”
