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.

US citizens detained by ICE speak out: "They dragged me outside and pulled me into a headlock. I repeated, 'I'm a citizen. I have an ID.' The agent kept saying, 'That don't matter'... Inside my cell, I heard wailing, screaming, begging. Alongside that was the banter and laughter from the agents."

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

Thanks for joining us and bringing some fire!

When I spoke to local activists here in Minneapolis, they told me there is a palpable sense that ICE agents are out for blood, that they want a fight, and you can feel it. I finally saw that myself at the Whipple Federal Building. ICE feels emboldened by the state covering for murder. Untouchable.

#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!

NEW: The DNC warned 10 states that shared sensitive voter data with the DOJ that they may have violated federal law, specifically a “quiet period provision” barring states from removing voters from their rolls within 90 days of an election.

Through all the darkness, it’s encouraging to see so many community members standing up against the atrocities committed by our federal government. Thanks to @prowroxroz.bsky.social and LUCE for organizing our community! Democracy truly does start at home.

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

Some of our senior community members couldn't get to our rally at the rotary, so they held their own outside their building at noon. There are more people to the left & right of the photo. #NoKings 1205-1215 Centre St, West Roxbury MA. 33 people. They want to be counted!

One month left till Election Day in Boston. The Mayor's race is settled, but City Council is not. PWRR members voted to endorse Ruthzee Louijeune, Julia Mejia, Henry Santana, and Marvin Mathelier for At-Large; Enrique Pepén for D5; Ben Weber for D6. #bospoli

#GoodTrouble Adams Park, Roslindale. “The people of Boston have shown repeatedly- we expect democracy, respect the Constitution and are willing to stand up for both.” Resolution read by Councilors @ben4district6.bsky.social @enriquepepen.bsky.social @brianworrell.bsky.social @prowroxroz.bsky.social

What is the DNC doing? A lot of people wonder what the Democratic Party is up to. It's easy for us to not know about projects in GOP districts or about new strategies. So, we're taking them up on an offer to talk with Libby Schneider, the DNC's Deputy Executive Director. Bring your questions!

“If this was done by another country, we absolutely would call this corruption,” said Kristofer Harrison, who served as a high-level State Department official in the George W. Bush administration. “Because it is corruption.”

No, they don't, and you also shouldn't be going around praising anything that he does while he works hard to dismantle democracy to give even more money to the rich. www.bostonherald.com/2025/05/20/g...

Our statewide partner @abundanthousingma.org commissioned this poll that adds further empirical support to what we’ve long suspected: the loudest voices against housing production are the definition of a vocal minority. Let’s get building! www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/16/b...

in a sane world a response like this would raise a shitload of questions instead it is just considered an acceptable answer and the world just moves on to something else
