Just got back, couldn't find a thread:

BOSTON (CBS) — A protest against President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration was held Sunday afternoon at Boston's Copley Square.

The protest, led by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, began at 1 p.m. at the Khalil Gibran Memorial.
...
”For over a century, the Statue of Liberty has been a source of pride for our country and a symbol to immigrants that embodied hope and opportunity for those seeking a better life in America," Dr. John Robbins, Executive Director of CAIR-Massachusetts, said in a statement earlier this week. ”Today, President Trump took draconian action that plays on religious bigotry and intolerance and closed our boarders to men, women, and children fleeing violence and persecution. The American people are better than a Muslim ban."

MBTA spokesperson Joe Pesaturo said Sunday morning that extra trains would be added to accommodate those going to the protest.

These scenes are one of the few things giving me comfort and belief in the inherent good in people lately/

 

[msdstc]

Lmao at that 50 toolbars sign.

I'm pleasantly surprised at how passionate these protests are. With the amount of shit that Muslims get in this country it's refreshing to see there are a lot of decent people out there still.

Takes me back to my gamsepot days haha

Wow

Documents were discovered in 2007, that's why I never read about it (in history class).

The Anne Frank one is particularly infuriating. Trump is treading well worn ground, and gives no shits.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Good job, Boston.

They're covered with cable. Cable infrastructure became internet infrastructure.

Broadband has really taken over.

I have heard of rural folks using Satellite internet.

Had no idea this was happening until an hour or so ago. :\ Wish I'd known earlier, I would've gone.

I was there. was advertised as ending at 3, and I was late, so I figured I'd missed almost all of it, but the place was still packed when I left at 3:30. the flow of people leaving turned into a full-blown march down boylston and charles st and around the common and we got swept up in it. It was a really powerful experience.
