A white nationalist neo-fascists group marched through #Boston July 4th weekend. Which one, no not Proud Boys or Oath Keepers indicted for seditious conspiracy, a spinoff of a group at Charlottesville unite the right rally https://theintercept.com/2022/06/17/jan-6-hearings-right-wing-white-nationalists/ #MaPoli #BosPoli

A mass shooting on the 4th of July in Philadelphia with fireworks in the background a few hours after a mass shooting in a Jewish suburb by a Trump supporter really adds to the rising fascism vibes.

WOW @MayorWu look at the GREAT 👀 example you’re setting to your peers… now they dont have to answer or acknowledge constituents.. you people must not want to be re-elected! #bospoli #mapoli #scum #SCREWWU #WuTrainWreck

The councilor blocks me because I question the tweets she posts or deletes. Never once did I use profanity or derogatory terms. Some of the posts she’s made legitimize radical actions or groups. I wonder if she realizes the pendulum swings “left” and “right?” #bospoli @Tania4D7

I’m Republican Caroline Colarusso running for Congress in Massachusetts 5th District. Our nation was shaped by the hard work and innovation of free individuals. Americans built this nation, not government. I’m asking for your vote this November. #america #usa #republican #mapoli
