"On Saturday, No Kings protests and marches spread across the United States, drawing an estimated 7 million people. In Boston, at least 100,000 packed the rally to hear movement leaders and elected officials condemn what they called the Trump administration's authoritarian grip on U.S. policy. Among the speakers were Representative Ayanna Pressley, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and Mayor Michelle Wu. But the subtext belonged to Senator Ed Markey and Representative Seth Moulton, rivals for the same Senate seat in 2026."
"The reaction likely stemmed in part from comments Moulton made earlier this year, when he accused Democrats of "spending way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face." He then invoked transgender girls in sports as his example, referring to them as "boys" and saying, "I have two little girls, I don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete,"
No Kings protests and marches spread across the United States, drawing an estimated 7 million people. In Boston at least 100,000 attended a rally where movement leaders and elected officials condemned the Trump administration's authoritarian grip on U.S. policy. Representative Ayanna Pressley, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and Mayor Michelle Wu spoke at the event. Senator Ed Markey appeared draped in a transgender flag and emphasized the stakes for trans rights. Representative Seth Moulton, recently declaring a primary challenge to Markey, faced boos after past remarks about transgender girls in sports and comments about Democrats prioritizing offense-avoidance over blunt honesty.
