"As Newton residents, we were shocked to learn @repauchincloss.bsky.social accepted $25,000+ from Palantir execs—a black mark on his record.

Let your U.S. Senator know you are concerned the CLARITY Act weakens consumer and state oversight and risks traditional banking stability. Dozens of advocacy groups and several senators have argued it fails to stop corruption and creates regulatory loopholes that enable more corruption.
The Senate is expected to vote this week on a bill that would enable Trump’s corruption. Repubs only need a handful of Senate Dems to pass the CLARITY Act (after 78 House Dems voted to pass it last year). Call your Senators: https://loom.ly/rN6D0wc

The culture war is fought on many battlefields; one of them is language. We must continue to use the language of democracy, civic engagement, free speech, freedom of assembly, due process, anti-fascism, pro-democracy, public good, public structures, freedom of expression, etc. Framing is important.
Antifa (short for "anti-fascist") is not an organized political group. It's a decentralized movement without a clear structure, hierarchy or leader, according to a 2020 Congressional Research Service.
Thank goodness most of our citizens are anti-fascist.
