Happy to spread the word for Persis Yu @persisyu.bsky.social for state senate! Strong consumer advocate, leader on student debt forgiveness, childcare, costs, repro rights. Listening to people all over the district. So that’s what responsive leadership looks like!

Some news worth sharing: the @pplmvotes.org has endorsed Persis Yu for State Senate. At a time when reproductive freedom is under attack just about everywhere, that says something about where this race stands. 🧵

Blatantly corrupt, and this practice needs to be banned. www.wbur.org/news/2026/06...

Just watched Ali Velshi's @velshi.com first show on The 11th Hour. Love the "night lights" segment at the end! I'm glad it'll be a regular feature. People need to hear about pro-democracy decisions, actions, and wins to stay the course in this fight.

My first candidate sign of the season: Patrick Roath for Congress MA-08 for strong & responsive leadership on election law, childcare, healthcare, housing, immigrants & due process & more. Serious change needed! @patrickroath.bsky.social

@persisyu.bsky.social for better policies on economic opportunity, transparency, democracy, affordability, justice! #mapoli #bospoli

Today’s hardy group included an 80-something 1st-time protester! 17 people in the rain pushing to @de-icecitizensbank.org Civil rights & communities, no concentration camps. @crowdcounting.bsky.social

“No financial institution should profit from human suffering. These facilities are hidden from public view, and represent a troubled reality. As a Christian, I would say they have no compassion for humanity.” Please do the right thing, Citizens Bank. #deicecitizensbank

Did something change today in permissions for scam calls? Suddenly inundated.

Democracy needs due process, not autocrats seizing people. Great crowd today. Multiple people reported they’ve begun process of switching banks. @detentionwatchnetwork.org

📣📣

“They were there in force – shareholders, clergy, unions, local activists, people of all ages, all colors."

The Greater Boston Interfaith Organization (GBIO), a coalition of more than 60 religious groups and unions, announced today that its members will pull $1 million from their Citizens bank accounts if the bank does not move quickly to end its relationships with the prison companies. #deicecitizensbank

Oh no, almost forgot to post from our 4/18 #boycottCitizens protest in West Roxbury MA! 24 people urging no investing in ICE concentration camps. Communities, not cages. @crowdcounting.bsky.social @wethepeopledissent.bsky.social

Really cold & windy this morning, but we had 27 people anyway protesting Citizens Bank for funding concentration camps. West Roxbury MA @crowdcounting.bsky.social @wethepeopledissent.bsky.social

We're thrilled to be endorsed by the many dedicated volunteers comprising @prowroxroz.bsky.social! Thank you for support! Let's go win this thing!!

28 senior housing residents managed the cold & held their own unofficial #NoKings protest today on the West Roxbury/Jamaica Plain border. Standing for democracy in Boston MA. @crowdcounting.bsky.social @wethepeopledissent.bsky.social

Great signs today at #NoKingsWestRoxburyMA. Lots of first time protesters among the 550 of all ages who turned out in the cold to stand for #democracy. @crowdcounting.bsky.social @wethepeoplecare.bsky.social

Starting spring with sun & another #boycottcitizens protest in Roslindale MA. 30 people say stop funding warehouse prisons! @crowdcounting.bsky.social @de-icecitizensbank.org

Chilly, windy at today’s Citizens Bank protest in West Roxbury MA but 35 people anyway. Some first time Citizens protesters, some first time altogether. Age range 8-78. Don’t fund warehouse prisons! @crowdcounting.bsky.social #boycottcitizens @de-icecitizensbank.org

Because you sickos love this, here's the updated flip count in legislative seats since the start of Trump's second term, following tonight's Dem win in New Hampshire: Democrats: 28 Republicans: 0 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Snow yesterday & tomorrow, 33 people protesting ICE today in Roslindale MA. Citizens Bank, stop funding human warehouse prisons. 4th week. #boycottcitizens @crowdcounting.bsky.social @wethepeopledissent.bsky.social

#boycottcitizens protest today, 30 people at Roslindale MA branch, age 16-75, several brand new to pro-democracy activism. No love for ICE on Valentines Day. @indivisible.org @wethepeopledissent.bsky.social

Have to appreciate a journalist who appreciates a judge's "14 times that Judge Leon found that a period wasn’t strong enough"!!

Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) says he was uninvited from a bipartisan White House dinner for governors "As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not"

A small number of elected officials representing Boston have been completely AWOL when it comes to standing up to ICE on behalf of immigrants. One Southie official found his voice in January 2026, only a few weeks ago, during an election year. He’s still finding time to undermine Wu.

And ICE lied and said he intentionally hit his head against a wall. www.huffpost.com/entry/immigr...

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

Snowing today, cold temps, people heated up about Citizens Bank giving loans to build ICE prisons. 50 people, lots are new. Support #democracy and community, not abductions! @wethepeopledissent.bsky.social @indivisible.org #boycottcitizens

Another 50 people protesting Citizens Bank support of ICE prisons. 20 degrees and while it’s snowing. @wethepeopledissent.bsky.social @indivisible.org #boycottcitizens

40 people out peacefully in 10 degrees to protest Citizens Bank funding of detention sites! @indivisible.org @wethepeopledissent.bsky.social

Cold outside but the crowd inside warmed up listening to @patrickroath.bsky.social answer questions about MA-08 race & issues. Hoped to hear from Lynch too. Great collaboration of @indivisible.org & @progressivemass.bsky.social groups across the district.

1. ICE must leave Minneapolis. 2. Congress should not fund this version of ICE - that is seeking confirmation, chaos and dystopia.

Today I was Kidnapped By ICE - Dawokefarmer

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Thanks for joining us and bringing some fire!

Voters showed their interest in this race is high! Thanks for bringing your passion and policy ideas.

Reports and videos show ICE agents asking American citizens whether they’ve “learned their lesson over the last few days” are deeply troubling. Language like this implies intent and raises serious questions about premeditation and mindset on the scene.

#ICEOutforGood Newton MA. Both sides of Centre, Beacon, and all islands. 570 people by my count. Fired up for democracy & against autocrats & secret police. Standing with Minneapolis & Portland!

Trump can't manage the American economy and now he says he’ll run Venezuela and its oil infrastructure? We’ve seen what happens when we destabilize countries on behalf of American fossil fuel CEOs—they profit, service members die, and regions collapse. We cannot let this stand.

Neither rain, nor snow, nor temps in the teens can keep these defenders of democracy from showing up and standing out 11a-12p every Sat. at 840 Providence Hwy #Dedham on the #Boston line. #TeslaTakedown #NoTrillionaires #NoKings @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social

Because of a state law, residential property owners in Boston are projected to face a 13% tax spike next year. Meanwhile, corporations will pay their lowest share of property taxes in 43 years. I’m hosting an AMA on Reddit about our plan to protect homeowners and deliver residential tax relief.

Mom’s for Liberty is now 0-59 in contested school board races since 2023.

True #democracy demonstration: people speaking out, building community, signing up for tasks & events, 3 elected officials & 2 new candidates trying to earn votes. That is what democracy looks like! Peaceful, creative, passionate, patriotic, ready to be as persistent as needed. #NoKingsWestRoxbury

Are we boycotting TX yet? Solidarity with the good people of Portland and Chicago!

Republicans are holding health care hostage to pay for tax cuts to billionaires. Unacceptable.

#Boston voters, have you met Marvin Mathelier yet? @marvinforboston.bsky.social #bospoli Our members chose him for our 4th City Council At-Large endorsement for lots of reasons. Just look!

It’s Boston vs. the billionaires, and I’m with Boston.

Wow, great interview with Philadelphia D.A. Larry Krasner about being ready to prosecute invaders who commit crimes. Blue city mayors, take note! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMtK...
