Shades of a Nixon "Enemies List" Deja Vu Opponents and Protestors of Boston Mayor Michelle Wu Sent to Police

 

Boston the cradle of our revolt against an imperial tyrannical king
Is ruled by Blue Michelle Wu who out of the Nixon playbook an enemy list brings
Compiling lists of people who have opposed her outside her home and in public
And then sent the list to the police to use not as a carrot but a stick?
People have a right to protest peacefully and when it’s outside a home or in public does it cross a line?
Becoming an office holder does not mean your domestic tranquility you surrender along with an undisturbed meal in public to dine
In the case of the protests on the sidewalks in front of SCOTUS Justices’ homes after the Dodds draft leak
Of loud and yelling proabortion zealots trying by intimidation a revised ruling seek
The marshals protecting SCOTUS especially after a Kavanaugh assassination attempt could have been more forceful in keeping the peace
But a list of  potential enemies in Boston looks more like a step toward a tyranny increase
On the plus side for Wu facing a city council leaning toward defunding the cops
With her veto a $31 million cut in police funding she stopped
We are on the federal level reeling from the FBI’s illegal searches
Lying to the FISA Courts and abandoning the 4th Amendment in the lurch
With a DOJ that seems more politicized each dayWith Garland revenge for no votes on his SCOTUS confirmation on display
