Town hall with Rep. Jim McGovern in Greenfield MA last night.

There were 750 people in the middle school auditorium and many more outside who couldn't get in. He stopped to talk to the people outside before he came in accompanied by a thunderous standing ovation. He warned that fascism isn't coming, it's already here. He said that when they don't follow the rules, neither should we, and we need to start thinking out of the box, including planning for a general strike. I am proud of my congressman.

11. I grew up on a street in MA. That two house down there was a Jimmy McGovern. It's a different one, though.

4. Thank you so much for posting this! I love McGovern.

I keep reading here that no one is doing anything but for a few star names. Not true at all!

Also our Governor Maura Healy has been on WBUR, WGBH and on Seth Myers’s Late Night Show!

Thank you 😊

5. I have family in Greenfield. One of them is going ballistic over US fascism.

I will note though when we go up to Greenfield, we usually go through North Adams to visit the Museum of Contemporary Art and on the way to Greenfield, from there, we did see some Trumper displays. Nuts are not unknown in Massachusetts.

6. True

There is a guy in Turners Falls whose lawn is festooned with signs proclaiming himself as a fully indoctrinated cult member.

10. The western hill towns (where I live) are known for their "Not Boston" attitudes.

I'm also in favor of a massive tax revolt. #TaxationWithoutRepresentation
