This is like on The Traitors when the Traitors start turning on each other early.

Boston dont let the billionaire class buy City Hall. We are not for sale #boston #bospoli #elections #nosuchthingasanethicalbillionaire

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

A super easy ask for tomorrow 2 pm EST. The house committee meeting to mark up the budget will be streaming at 2. Throw it on even if you can't watch it. Share the link wildly & ask folks 2 stream even if they can't watch it. You can mute the sound and have it going www.youtube.com/live/J4fGR1C...

If you live in the Greater Boston area and want to go beyond attending rallies #brooklinema is hosting an organizing fair come hear from local orgs and sign up to take action www.mobilize.us/activisteven... #50501 #indivisble #protest #fightback #democrats #massachusetts

So you can platform a fascist but can't shame said fascist cool

When your opponent is down, you accelerate. #TeslaTakeDown

CECOT isn't a slave camp. It's a death camp. The imprisoned are in their cells 23.5 hours a day. People are sent there to die

Josh Kraft is the Piper Ratliff of Boston Politics I will not be elaborating #whitelotus #bospoli #mapoli

Everything is binary now. Either you are working to save the country by stopping MAGA or you are part of the problem. And yes, that means if you are doing nothing, you are part of the problem. @djrothkopf.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

so many UConn faculty have lost federal funding and the university can’t afford to replace all of it. why would we not protest?

There’s a lesson here for every Big Law firm, university and media company if they care to learn it.

It's nice to have permission to stop watching this show that I only ever kind of enjoyed. www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/co...

I’m not going to tell people how to feel about protests… at least not today. Instead, I’ll recommend Sarah Schulman’s book about ACT UP. It’s not just a history of the organization; she also talks strategy in a very practical way, especially regard coalitions.

And start planning ahead unions are mobilizing for May 1 international workers day. Yes it's a weekday. thats important we need to more people on the streets & we need to be out there on weekdays. I understand the realities but more of us can be out on weekdays

here’s my protest take: stop being snarky about people doing literally anything we need all of it even if it’s not your thing

#boston folks looking to take action after today's #handsoff rally and March come plug into local grassroots organizations doing the front line work April 17 www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve... @progressivemass.bsky.social @bostonindivisible.bsky.social

Protests aren’t the only tool in the anti-authoritarian toolkit, but they’re incredibly important. Protests help us see each other; they make it feel safer to refuse to obey the dictator, and make it more possible for us to organize mass non-cooperation. It’s an essential step in the process.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

Here's a break from today's horrors

Well my Congressman exhorted us to primary him saying repeatedly "I decide I get to decide what's good for the American people. You want to decide run for Congress". And yes he is a long term elected Dem who feels entitled to deference.....

To quote @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social this is a stupid coup

One thing some of you can do is to stop asking organizers to do everything for you. If you want more coverage of protests, then take it upon YOURSELVES to contact your LOCAL press to ask why they aren't covering protests. YOU can do that yourselves. YOU.

My face watching #whitelotus season 3 episode 6 how does anyone think this season is boring. What a few days of just amazing television

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

I guess if you don't actually live here you don't know the skyline Josh Kraft and his vanity trojan horse of a campaign should just wrap it up. You're embarrassing yourself #bospoli

For those that think tech bro CEOs are so much smarter than the rest of us. I need to remind you that Apple put the whole pantry on their first erase of their watch. Noted scammer Belle Gibson got it past the best and brightest at Apple

The thing that everyone thinks is nuts, but I absolutely think would work: a presentation that looked like an Apple keynote product launch, but for all the cool shit that the government makes for people. Cancer treatments, national parks, space discoveries, free tax filing, cool new airports.

Imma be honest. It's really easy for me to boycott. I'm broke. So many of us have already cut out any "extras" we used to enjoy say 5 years ago. I used to get my nails done pretty regular, eat out once a week, purchase clothes when I saw something nice, travel for concerts. All cut on my end.
