We're now closer than ever to extending TPS for Haiti and giving our neighbors the protections they deserve.
Because of your advocacy, we have the signers needed to force a vote. www.dotnews.com/2026/03/28/p...

@crowdcounting.bsky.social Another protest to note, weekly since Tesla Takedown started.
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

35 people at today’s #boycottcitens Bank protest in Roslindale MA. Warehouses are for packages, not people. Trump is shutting down economic opportunity; increasing violence.

#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
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!

We’ll keep holding protests. We all need to hold Citizens accountable.
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

Amazing time meeting up with folks throughout the district. Way to show up for #NoKingsDay West Roxbury, Walpole, and Norwood!!!
To defeat fascism we must stand in solidarity and speak out against injustice.

More people to include in the #NoKings count! About 60 people marched from Adams Park to Fallon Field in Roslindale MA on Oct 18. Unregistered event, but they want to be counted!
@universalhub.com covered #NoKingsWestRoxbury, full of unpaid peaceful protesters standing up for democracy, rule of law, competence & expertise, diversity, ending tariff mania, and much more. #nokings www.universalhub.com/2025/hundred...
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!
So true! And the cars that drove through with signs to join in!
