my work (and many other people's) paid off

I was phone banking on two ballot questions—yes on 3 here, to keep trans rights, and Yes on 4 in Florida to restore 1.4 million people's voting rights, and we won on both. I pushed myself physically to make some of those calls; today I will be resting, and hope it's enough.

I am pleased with my new Congresswoman, but she was unopposed in the general election; the Associated Press called that race at 8:01 p.m., or one minute after Massachusetts polls closed.

And now I can stop answering calls from lots of unknown numbers that might be people calling me about volunteer shifts.

Rallies to protect Mueller investigation tomorrow at 5

The people who are organizing the emergency/rapid response to protect the Mueller investigation have apparently concluded that Trump firing sessions, and the acting AG announcing he will be supervising the investigation, is close enough to the red line that there are rallies tomorrow at 5:

Addendum (8 pm EST): I was expecting a text message about this by now. At this point, I am assuming I'll know more, one way or the other, in the morning.

In the meantime, I have called both my senators and my congressman, asking Markey and Capuano to publicly call for the acting AG to leave Mueller alone, and thanking Warren for her tweet about Sessions's firing.

I thought I'd be taking the day off from political anything, and not have to make more phone calls for a bit.

8:20 And I have an email saying it's on in Boston, more details tonight and tomorrow morning.
