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
