Correction: organizers say 2400 in Falmouth, MA

Falmouth, MA (Cape COD). I’d say at least 500 on our village green, including our Congress member Bill Keating and State Senator Dylan Fernandez. A huge turnout.

Saw lots of of other dogs for democracy at our local protest here in Falmouth, MA. Norman and they know best!

We who love our country filled the Falmouth, MA, village green this #NoKingsDay. So proud of our town and everyone across the country and around the world who is voicing their opposition DJT and his minions and enforcers.

“Congress” didn’t pass this murder budget.

Republicans did it.

Republicans did it without a single Democratic vote in the House, without a single Democratic vote in the Senate.

Be precise and give, uh, credit where credit is due

Thank you. That really irked me too.

My Representative, Bill Keating, just did so over on FB. He has been showing up at demos ever since Inauguration Day, when he stayed in his district to attend the local MLK breakfast.

Your grandpa wrote some terrific books. I was particularly affected as a young girl by Freedom Road. Later in life, we published him (and your mother, who I got to meet) when I was at Houghton Mifflin.

Agree wholeheartedly. Also, your mention of indexes reminds of the time I couldn’t make an author understand that the nature of them is that they are alphabetical. I was reduced to tears and had to get my boss to intervene. I won eventually, of course.

And Falmouth (Cape Cod, MA). My hubby at a stand-out for Ukraine the weekend after the Oval Office debacle.

Hey, Craig. I remember that. I’d never heard of geoducks before. 🤣

So glad you’re here now. We’ve been waiting for you!

Love your coinage of “the euphemism desk.” May have to adopt it.

Happy birthday, dear Judy Richardson. You set such a wonderful example for young and not so young alike.

Here’s an article about the Woods Hole rally www.capeandislands.org/local-news/2...

'Stand up for Science' rally draws hundreds to Woods Hole

The rally was part of a national movement that's grown in response to the Trump administration's policies, which organizers say are a threat to scientific progress.

We had about 400 people in Woods Hole, a village of Falmouth, MA that boasts 6 scientific institutions, including NOAA, WHOI, and MBL. Speakers included John Holdren, science advisor to Obama, and Rep. Bill Keating.

Stand Up for Science in Woods Hole, Falmouth, MA (at the southwestern tip of Cape Cod) this Friday at Noon. WH is home of a slew of scientific institutions, including NOAA, USGS, WHOI, MBL, etc.

Sarah Flynn @sarahflynn.bsky.social · Mar 2

Really pleased that a couple of hundred people turned out today (including me and my hubby, holding “Putin Owns Trump” sign) to support Ukraine in our small town of Falmouth, on Cape Cod, MA. I’m feeling the groundswell after Friday’s Oval Office ambush.

Yes, we (at least half of the US) are very sorry about that!

Sarah Flynn @sarahflynn.bsky.social · Mar 2

I’ll be there in Woods Hole, Falmouth, MA at noon.

Thanks for the calming morning view. It’s feeling pretty dark over here.
