I just got back from a (surprisingly small, even for short notice) rally on Boston Common, demanding release of the full Mueller Report, to Congress and the public.
No elected officials were there, though the organizers said they'd all sent messages of support, and Sen. Warren sent someone from her office to read hers. There was a bit of music (tuba, but somewhat muffled; a man was explaining that to his six-year-old before we started) at the beginning, and one of the organizers read from a "list of statements from the House Judiciary Committee" and followed each by asking the crowd "do we know or think Trump did this?" and "is it OK?" At the end, he explained that he'd been quoting from the articles of impeachment of President Nixon--which makes sense, the current Judiciary Committee has just authorized subpoenas related to this investigation.
Also, if you stretch it a little, you can make "redact" rhyme with "attack": in the call-and-response chant "When X is under attack, what do we do?/Stand up fight back!" they gave us "When democracy is under attack, what do we do? Stand up fight back! When the Mueller report gets a major redact, what do we do? Stand up fight back!" (I wonder whether "redact" is now trending on m-w.com.")
I got there about 4:45 (having allowed for Red Line problems) for an event that was announced for 5 p.m. It started a few minutes after five, and was done half an hour later. I stopped for ice cream on my way home, at Lizzy's in Harvard Square (a small chocolate cone, plus a quart of ginger for later).
