The federal administration thinks this country belongs to them—and that they're above the law. They're taking everything they can get their hands on—our rights, our health care, our data, our jobs, our services—and daring the world to stop them. But as Mayor Wu put it — two weeks after standing up for Boston’s immigrants in Congress and one week after Boston became a sanctuary city for the LGBTQ+ community — “No one tells Boston how to take care of our own, not kings, and not presidents who think they are kings… God save whoever messes with Boston.”
On Saturday, April 5th, a coalition of Massachusetts resistance groups is taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off! Because we will always protect our neighbors, regardless of their race, gender, sexuality, origin, background, status, disability, religion or lack thereof. Massachusetts is ready to protect democracy—and we the people are ready to show up. We the People means EVERYBODY!
And we need your support to make this happen. Please help us rent the equipment we need to make this event as accessible to as many people as possible by donating here!
Co-Sponsors: • Indivisible Mass Coalition • Mass 50501 • Swing Blue Alliance • UU Mass Action • ACLU of Massachusetts • And many more!

This is a nonviolent action. We expect ALL participants to remain peaceful and to try to de-escalate any potential confrontations.

Hundreds of "Hands Off" protests will be held across the country Saturday, April 5, aimed at sending a message to President Donald Trump and his controversial billionaire adviser Elon Musk.
Dozens of the protests are scheduled around Massachusetts, including one on Boston Common, starting at 11 a.m. at the Parkman Bandstand.
What is the Hands Off protest?
According to a statement from national organizers, "Hands Off" is a "national day of action" that will bring members of Congress, community leaders and "everyday people" together to "call on Trump and Elon Musk to take their hands off the programs that the middle class and working families rely on."

BOSTON (AP) — The daughter of U.S. Rep. Katherine Clark of Massachusetts was arrested during a protest Saturday night on Boston Common and later charged with assault after a police officer was injured.
In a statement on its website, the Boston Police Department said the 23-year-old was expected to be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court.
Clark, the House Democratic whip, said in a tweet that her daughter, Riley Dowell, had been arrested. “I love Riley, and this is a very difficult time in the cycle of joy and pain in parenting,” Clark wrote. “This will be evaluated by the legal system, and I am confident in that process.”
Clark has spoken publicly about the fears of her own nonbinary child amid bigotry targeting transgender people.
Police said officers responded to a report at the Parkman Bandstand Monument located within the Boston Common. They found a person, identified as Dowell, a resident of Melrose, defacing the monument with spray paint and anti-police phrases, according to police.
During the arrest, “a group of about 20 protesters began to surround officers while screaming profanities though megaphones on the public street causing traffic to come to a standstill,” police said, adding that “an officer was hit in the face and could be seen bleeding from the nose and mouth.”
Dowell was charged with assault by means of a dangerous weapon, destruction or injury of personal property, and damage of property by graffiti/tagging, police said.
A fatal police shooting earlier this month in nearby Cambridge sparked protests over use of force. A 20-year-old student at the University of Massachusetts Boston, Sayed Faisal, was shot and killed by Cambridge police. He had advanced on officers with what police described as a kukri, a type of sword, and a less-than-lethal “sponge round” had failed to stop him, police said.
Clark is in her sixth term in the House and represents the state's 5th Congressional District.

Rep. Katherine Clark. (D) Massachusetts
She’s the Democrat Whip.
According to the Boston Globe article, the original crime was defacing a public monument with the words “No Cop City”. Cop City is what violent protesters in Atlanta have dubbed a new police training facility, which has drawn national news as protesters there attempt to halt its construction. Those protests have turned violent in clashes with police. Some media reports have suggested the infamous group ‘ANTIFA’ are somehow involved in the Atlanta area protests.
Also according to the Globe article, a group of about 20 protesters surrounded police, jeered and shouted profanity as the final arrest of Riley Dowell was conducted. At least one officer was seen bleeding from the nose and mouth according to the reporting. There’s some juicy bits I’ve left out here. You should read it, it’s quick.

hi everyone! i thought it would be fun to organize a fan meet up for everyone in the boston area who wasn’t able to snag tickets to harry’s show this month, so here it is!!! please reblog this post to spread the word, even if you aren’t planning to come. we want to see as many people there as possible!
all of the info is below the cut
where will the meet up take place?
boston common, by the tennis courts and the parkman bandstand, where the boys played soccer that one time in 2012. here’s a map of where the parkman bandstand is, and the tennis courts are just next to it.
here are some directions to get to boston common, and here is a list of parking garages if you’re driving. i recommend taking public transport, if possible, and getting off at the park street stop on the red line, or the boylston street stop on the green line.
when is the meet up?
saturday, september 30th, at 6:00pm.
the idea behind the meet up is that everyone who didn’t get tickets to the (very small, thanks harry) show at the wang can come together and mourn the loss of this great experience. the meetup will be taking place during the show, so that we can all be together anyway, even if not at the show. (the show starts at 8, so even those who are attending the show can stop by if they want!)
what’s gonna happen at the meet up?
we’re planning to have a picnic of sorts, so bring your favorite picnic blanket and snacks! you’ll find me and my best friend on our pink 1D blanket eating some pizza!
we’ll be playing harry’s album over a bluetooth speaker, but mostly this meet up will be an opportunity to chat with other harry fans who couldn’t make the concert, and to make some new friends!
what should i bring?
a blanket! or lawn chairs, or whatever you feel comfortable with. this is going to be a picnic sort of party, so we’ll be keeping it classy and casual with our fleece 1D blanket.
some food! bring a pizza, or some sandwiches, or whatever you like! there may be some snacks (chips and salsa, cookies, etc.) but i’m a broke college student, so i can’t bring food for everyone. you’re responsible for your own food, so if you wanna eat, bring something to munch on! here’s a list of takeout restaurants around the common.
some drinks! it’s important to stay hydrated, people, so bring some water or iced tea or gatorade or what have you. please DO NOT bring alcohol, as there will be underage people present and we do not want this to be that kind of party. thank you!
some harrie friends! bring anyone who wants a night of making friends and listening to harry’s music! everyone is welcome, even those who were lucky enough to get tickets and are just looking for something to do before the show!
sweatshirts!!! it’ll probably be pretty warm as it’s only late september, but remember to bring something to bundle up if it gets chilly!
bug spray! bugs are gross! i’m a mom friend and don’t want you to get bug bites please!!!
if you have more questions, send me a message here, or contact me through the tumblr messaging feature! i’ll be tagging all posts having to do with the meet up here, or with the tag #harrymeetupboston on my blog.
this isn’t absolutely necessary, but if you’re thinking about coming, please rsvp here. this is only so that we know how many people are coming, so that we can plan on 5 people or 500 people showing up to the meet up. thank you!
please reblog this post to spread the word!! feel free to use the hashtag #harrymeetupboston on social media to get everyone in on it. we want to see as many people at this meet up as possible, so tell your friends, as well! we can’t wait to see everyone there!!!!!
#harrymeetupboston#harry styles#boston massachusetts#harry styles live on tour#event#free#this may flop but i think it's gonna be fun!!!!

Honoring Dr. King, getting ready for May Day
April 4 actions across the U.S. celebrated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s call to end the “three evils of society” — racism, militarism and capitalism — while building for May Day 2017.
In Boston there was a spirited rally by Fast Food Workers in Mass Fight For 15, Restaurant Opportunities Center Boston-ROC Boston Organization, Raise Up Massachusetts, Jobs with Justice, housing rights groups, members of Boston’s Chinese community, Veterans For Peace, Service Employees 32BJ, 1199SEIU, SEIU 888, Food and Commercial Workers, the Jewish Labor Committee, representatives of other unions and religious leaders.
The rally at the Parkman Bandstand in the freezing cold and pouring rain commemorated civil rights and social justice leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who was assassinated on April 4, 1968, while in Memphis to support striking Black sanitation workers. The rally took place at the site where in 1965 Dr. King addressed people on the Boston Common.
In Detroit hundreds of low-wage workers and supporters marched April 4 into the Michigan State Office Building in Cadillac Place in the New Center area. This location was chosen to pressure Republican Gov. Rick Snyder to raise the minimum wage. The demonstration was called by D15, the Detroit Fight for Fifteen group, to demand $15 an hour and a union.
After being confronted by the state police, the crowd of mostly youthful workers moved outside for a rally in front of the structure, which included a picket line and speak-out.
Chicago coalition unites for May Day
The coalition planning a giant march and rally for Chicago on May Day held a press conference April 5 to lay out the broad array of issues to be taken on by dozens of participating organizations. Chaired by Chicago Federation of Labor President Jorge Ramirez, the panel included speakers from the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, Black Youth Project 100 and the Service Employees Union. All pledged to work together to resist the Trump administration’s attacks against workers, in particular immigrants, Black and Brown communities, women and LGBTQ people.

New Post has been published on http://www.injectionmouldchina.com/memories-of-bristols-grand-spa-ballroom/
Memories of Bristol's Grand Spa Ballroom
Some cool plastic molded part images:
Memories of Bristol’s Grand Spa Ballroom Image by brizzle born and bred Dancing Through Time
The Spa in Clifton opened to great acclaim but is now derelict
MANY rising stars of the 1950s, such as Shirley Bassey, Petula Clark and Peter Sellers, appeared at Clifton’s Grand Spa Ballroom. And thousands of Bristolians enjoyed the sounds of big bands here, at a dance hall which has been locked up for more than three decades.
But this was no ordinary dance hall. Situated at the foot of a steep staircase leading off Sion Hill, it had originally been built as the Pump Room of the Clifton Grand Spa and Hydro, an upmarket hotel which opened near the suspension bridge in 1894.
Often entertainment was laid on here for the personnel of Navy ships, such as at the time of the visit of various warships in 1898. It was described as a hall of admirable proportions, 100 feet by 57 feet, ceiling height 27 feet, elegant and light with an uninterrupted view from the windows of Leigh Woods, the Suspension Bridge and Nightingale Valley. In the centre was a fountain of white marble with a raised fluted basin. All doors, window frames, panelling and floor were made of oak.
In 1898 it was reported that the Pump Room, being part of the Spa and Hydro, had not only been redecorated but also a passenger elevator had been installed to give access to all the floors of the hotel.
This had been financed by wealthy publisher, entrepreneur and one-time MP Sir George Newnes, who was also the promoter of the adjoining Clifton Rocks Railway. Seven hundred influential Bristolians were invited to the opening dinner. After a sumptuous meal followed by the obligatory speeches, they were entertained by the Band of the Life Guards and singing from Madame Strathearn.
The directors of the Clifton Grand Spa and Hydro boasted that its grand Pump Room was the “most highly decorated and finest in the kingdom”.
However, by 1922, the popularity of the Pump Room and Spa had waned and it was turned into a cinema. Six years later, it became a ballroom, and by the 1950s and 1960s it was one of Bristol’s most popular dance halls.
Long-serving entertainments director Reg Williams, who had his own top band at the Park Row Coliseum in the 1930s, developed a cabaret policy featuring many youngsters destined to be stars.
The 15-piece Grand Spa band was the first to introduce Latin American rhythms to the city.
The musicians played from a bandstand in an alcove, a place from which visitors once took the spa waters pumped up from 250ft below, through the rocks from Hotwells. Dennis Mann, who ran the Grand Spa Orchestra for 10 years from 1960, remembers the ballroom with much affection.
“It was such a wonderful ballroom,” he recalled.
“As a musician, I’d toured all over the country, but this was something different.”
“People danced between ornate pillars. At the bottom of the staircase there were marble steps leading into the ballroom.
“I remember that the women were well-dressed. Up north, they danced wearing headscarves, but at the Grand Spa they were beautifully dressed. And the men wore suits and ties.”
The singer for Dennis’s band was his wife, the late Shirley Jackson.
“We were working in different parts of the country,” he recalled, “and I thought the only way we could see each other was by forming my own band, with Shirley in the nine-piece set up. We broadcast for the BBC’s old Light Programme from the Spa, and we once played with the singer Janie Marden for a live radio outside broadcast.”
“The ballroom was open six nights a week. We called Thursdays ‘reps night’.
That’s when firms’ representatives who were in Bristol for the week turned up for a night out before going back home the next day,” said Dennis.
“Friday nights was always kept for private functions. We used to play at lots of dances for firms like Rolls-Royce, police balls and press balls. Old Bristol firms, like the engineers Strachan and Henshaw, used to have their dances at the Spa.
“We used to get 800 people and more into the ballroom. On New Year’s Eve, it would probably be nearer 1,000. I remember that during the interval the band would jump into their cars and go around to the nearby Coronation Tap for a couple of pints of cider.”
After Dennis left the Grand Spa, he joined the QE2 as bandmaster for six months.
“I was on board when the SAS were winched onto the ship from a helicopter during a bomb scare,” he recalled.
The Grand Spa sparked countless romances, as couples danced between the splendid marble pillars. A popular feature was a machine in the ladies’ toilets, girls who put in sixpence got a spray of perfume.
Delphine Lydall, who lives opposite the old ballroom, remembered: “It was very ornate, very Victorian. I met my husband there on a Monday night. Monday was the under-21 club night. It was all run very properly, and it finished at 10.30pm.”
There were blue and green upholstered wooden-framed chairs, and built in red leather settees that lined the room. The huge 1920s lights were retained, but were dimmed, and used in combination with wrought-iron lantern holders, screwed into the oak plinths of the marble columns to make the place more intimate. The raised platform on the North West side that was installed in the 1922 cinema, covering one fifth of the total floor area, was retained. A second new raised platform was introduced in the alcove, where the stone fountain once stood, which served as a jazz band stand. At the time, it was described as a three-level rostrum with a shell-back for the orchestra. The Music Gallery was turned into a buffet and additional bar for refreshments, the main bar was off the hotel end of the ballroom (underneath the marble staircase).
In the 1960s and 70s, the hotel ballroom was converted to a disco. The original retiring room between the Clifton Rocks Railway and the disco had been fitted out as a make-shift kitchen. Against one wall was a laminated worktop lined with a few 1970s floral wall tiles, with a kettle and a couple of hot rings to make teas, coffees and soup. The Music Gallery was bricked up, and plastic padding put between the bricks and the moulded plaster capitals of the pilasters on either side of the archway, to protect them, in the hope that one day it would be restored. By the middle of the 1970s, all the original decoration had been painted black or dark green and covered by a suspended hessian ceiling; wooden frames were constructed round the marble columns, which were covered in hessian, and lights were replaced with disco lighting.
The Grand Spa changed its name to the Avon Gorge Hotel some 30 years ago, and ever since then the ballroom has been standing derelict. Robert Peel, the hotel’s new owner, has submitted a £10 million scheme to redevelop the whole site, including the terraces spilling down the cliff.
He would like to restore the ballroom, but says this can only be done if permission is granted for the whole complex.
“To restore it would be a great feat, but restoring it on its own would not be financially economical,” he said.
The Grand Spa wasn’t the only post-war dance venue in the city. The Mecca organisation bought the small ballroom known as The Glen, situated in an old quarry off Durdham Down. This became so popular that they built a new one, The Locarno. The site is now the Bupa hospital car park.
The Victoria Rooms was another hugely popular dance hall. The big band of Ken Lewis, who later became a full-time official of the Musicians’ Union in Bristol, often played there.
A couple of hundred yards down Queens Road, opposite the university’s Wills Memorial Building, was the Berkeley Cafe, owned by the Cadena group, which advertised itself as the “largest and most up-to-date cafe in Bristol”.
With seating for 1,200 people, the Berkeley Orchestra played three sessions each day.
The popular “tea dances” held in the cafe’s Queen’s Hall every Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoon attracted crowds of dancers from all over. The building, which retains its original name, is now a pub.
Clem Gardiner and Arthur Parkman, each with their own bands and their own following, were familiar faces at the Grand Hotel in Broad Street and the Royal Hotel on College Green.
Across the river, band leader Eric Winstone moved his musicians into the Bristol South swimming pool in Dean Lane in the 1960s when it closed for the winter. Boards were put over the pool to accommodate the dancers.
Do you have any photos tucked away somewhere of the Grand Spa ballroom, or of people enjoying themselves there, in its 1960s heyday? If so, we’d love to see them, and perhaps publish them on Flickr, so that others can see just what it was like.
2016 – Once-popular Bristol ballroom left derelict for decades could be brought back into use.
For decades, the once-popular Grand Spa Ballroom below the Avon Gorge Hotel in Clifton, has stood empty and neglected, a relic of bygone days.
Now however, there appears to be plans to bring the former venue back into use by the Hotel du Vin, the new owners of the Avon Gorge Hotel.

#MaPoli..Yilin Zheng, a junior at Emerson College, said she was waiting for the E train at the MBTA’s Boylston Station when a man ran right past her and into the tunnel. “It was so crazy, he was standing right next to me and saw someone coming and ran,” Zheng said. “I saw police coming down the stairs, so I pointed (into the tunnel). A whole bunch of police went after him.” BostonHerald.com -Three arrested in Common shooting Fled scene on mopeds after ambushing teen #Embargo #WhoGotShot The Faces of Gun Violence in America 2017. #BostonCommon Three people were in custody last night in connection with the brazen dusk shooting of a 19-year-old man near the Common’s Parkman Bandstand that sent visitors running for cover.Mayor Martin J. Walsh also stressed that the Common was safe but said he was rattled by the possibility that bystanders could have been hit. “This is ridiculous tonight, someone could’ve been seriously hurt here,” Walsh said at the scene. “The shootings going on between groups of people that knew each other, they’re putting their lives at risk ... but it’s the people around them, the random stray bullets that go flying around the city of Boston, is what I can’t stand anymore.” Brenda Coffey and Terri Cagle, of Carbondale, Ill., were sitting near the corner of Boylston and Tremont streets when gunshots rang out. “We heard a ‘pop’ and thought it was fireworks, then heard a ‘pop pop’ and I said ‘That sounded like gunshots,” Coffey said. “Then it was ‘pop pop pop pop pop’ and everybody started running and screaming in all directions, screaming ‘Take cover! Take cover!’ I was terrified.” A Beacon Hill woman out for a jog said she was running near the bandstand when the shooting occurred. “I looked over and I saw a man fall,” she said. “I was too far away to get a good look at him. But I saw him fall.” The woman, who declined to give her name, said she and her husband spend just about every evening on the Common. “I run out here all the time,” she said. “I always feel safe. It’s so sad.” #NewYorkCity #Boston #Orlando #LosAngeles #Oakland #Philadelphia #Cleveland #Chicago #Miami #Atlanta #Houston #Pittsburgh #WashingtonDC #Columbus (at North Billerica, Massachusetts)

Looking For Anti-Trump Protests? Here Are Dozens To Choose From.
A man who bragged about sexually assaulting women, mocked a reporter with a disabilityand invited a foreign adversary to hack the U.S. government will be sworn in next Friday as the 45th president of the United States.
And while its a fact that President-elect Donald Trump will be the next leader of the free world the first one to refuse to release his taxes since 1976, by the way you certainly dont have to like it.
You can voice your concern at one of the hundreds of demonstrations planned across the country and around the world in the days surrounding the inauguration.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), along with congressional Democrats and health care activists, plans to lead dozens of rallies nationwide in an initiative called Our First Stand: Save Our Health Care. Most of the events are scheduled for this weekend, a few days before the inauguration.
Hundreds of poets are expected to gather on the steps of their local city halls on Sunday, Jan. 15, during the nationwide Poets Protest Against Trump.
Filmmaker and activist Michael Moore tweetedlast month in support of the #DisruptJ20 Inauguration Day rallies planned around Washington, D.C., and Baltimore.The events are led by a collective of experience activists who call themselves the DC Welcoming Committee, according to the #DisruptJ20 website, which also lists numerous protests beyond the Beltway.
And, of course, the Womens March on Washington and its more than 280 sister marches are expected to be the main event on Saturday, Jan. 21.
Nearly 600,000 people of all gender identities are expected to flood the streets of major cities across the world on Trumps first full day in office.
For even more events, take a look at the listings below, which we will continue to update. Be sure to check which events have been issued permits, and know that your participation in non-permitted demonstrations could result in arrest.
And if those events are a no-go, you can always participate in the national general strike by refusing to work, shop or go to school on Inauguration Day.
However you plan to resist, stay safe and open-minded. Remember to listen to and respect one another.
Now go forth and protest.
Note: This is not a comprehensive list of events. This article will be updated as more information becomes available. Check back for updates.
