Trump fired Sessions, in a moved widely reviled as a power grab for control of the Russia probe. The Mueller Protection Rapid Response has been activated.

BREAKING: PROTESTS CALLED FOR THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 5 PM LOCAL TIME

Donald Trump has installed a crony to oversee the special counsel's Trump-Russia investigation, crossing a red line set to protect the investigation. By replacing Rod Rosenstein with just-named Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker as special counsel Robert Mueller's boss on the investigation, Trump has undercut the independence of the investigation. Whitaker has publicly outlined strategies to stifle the investigation and cannot be allowed to remain in charge of it. The Nobody Is Above the Law network demands that Whitaker immediately commit not to assume supervision of the investigation. Our hundreds of response events are being launched to demonstrate the public demand for action to correct this injustice. We will update this page as the situation develops.

Naturally, the Boston one is planned for Boston Common, across Beacon St. from the State House. None listed for Somerville or Cambridge so far.

We don't have a tag for protests? Or non-local politics?

I don't know of one for Cambridge or Somerville, but here's one at Arlington Town Hall. I don't know if it is indoors or outdoors. EDIT: I emailed the organizer via the event's contact form. She says it is outdoors on the steps of Town Hall.

in the more innocent times when we used tags, we didn't often discuss non-local politics.

I just looked at the list. New York City had a separate entry for "Bronx" and then "Sorry, this event is full," which suggests they're trying to gather larger crowds.

I went to the Boston rally. So heartening to see and hear so many people there. Got home in time to catch the coverage of the rally on NBC10-Boston.
