After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

Had the honour of taking part in the most extraordinary, ancient acts & celebrations, re-affirming commoners rights this week. Hungerford is (likely) the last place Hocktide is still observed in England. It means we kept & keep our commons, & a certain independence. Buckle up, it’s a wild ride… 1/14

People tend to dismiss VP Pence’s actions on J6: he was just doing his job, why should he get any credit for simply sticking to the letter of the law? But if it was so easy to do, why was he one of the very few in his party to do it? apnews.com/article/penc...

Words can’t express how much Blondie meant to me back when (and now!). They were my gateway drug to punk rock and a whole amazing world of music. I didn’t know whether to link this post, or the song Dreaming with Clem’s exuberant drumming…so sad.

My Congressman @repsuhas.bsky.social is a true leader. He showed up today in Warrenton, Virginia for the #HandsOff protest. We need more leaders like him to hear the people and their cries for help

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

@mayorwu.boston.gov laid out a powerful vision for Boston—one that meets this moment with urgency & empathy. From addressing our housing crisis to strengthening our schools, she’s building a vibrant, inclusive city for everyone. Grateful for her partnership. This moment requires it.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.
