One if by land,
Two if by sea,
Three if ICE agents there be! 
I wonder if Richardson will mention the teenager who did way more than Revere.
MA peeps: my boss (who lives in Lexington) said apparently there's scuttlebutt that Trump might be attending tomorrow's 250th anniversary stuff there.
If true, I wonder if any protests being organized? [although getting there might be hard, apparently the town is getting pretty locked down for it?]
(Also, if true, the irony of him showing up at a celebration of rebellion against monarchy is just...

In Massachusetts? Want to do something concrete to fight against ICE raids & the rapid descent into outright fascism? Get with LUCE and do everything you can to support them!

this was a truly exemplary piece. i couldn’t do it justice yet i’ll post snippets here
“A fascist society is one in which some people are deputized to do violence, and everyone else is forced to defend themselves. Those who have lived under an authoritarian regime know how it weakens collective self-defense…If we are to have any hope of surviving the coming dark age, we need mutual aid—not just to keep people housed and fed, but to keep them connected”
for example, Neighbor to Neighbor is running a statewide ICE watch hotline in #MA called LUCE. Donation link: https://www.lucemass.org/ LUCE’s rapid responders have 3 tasks: verify, document, witness. they weren’t able to witness the abduction of Rümeysa Öztürk, a Turkish Tufts University PhD student on a valid visa.
they scoured surveillance finding documentation of the kidnapping. “The video of the abduction obtained by LUCE proved invaluable…The coordinated response to Öztürk’s kidnapping exemplifies community self-defense and mutual aid at their best.” 3/3
