Hundreds of residents, Boston City Councilors and local labor union members gathered in Boston’s Circle Plaza, condemning the recent raids carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles.

When Elon Musk called President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” a “disgusting abomination,” he was right for the wrong reasons.

Agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement have removed from the quiet streets of exurban Milford an 18-year-old who is an honors student at the town’s high school, brought from Brazil by his parents more than a decade ago.

President Lyndon B. Johnson famously declared an unconditional “War on Poverty” in his 1964 State of the Union address, initiating one of the most ambitious policy initiatives in American history aimed at systemic economic inequality.

Thousands of people from across the country held a march in the nation’s capital on Saturday for women’s reproductive rights and other rights many marchers deemed to be under threat from the incoming Trump administration.

As our year comes to an end it is clear that the biggest event of 2024 was the defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris and the election for a second time of Donald Trump as president.
