Thank for flagging this crosswalk!

I had a little time this morning before our Finance Committee meeting, so I stopped by and shoveled it out

One of the hardest things to explain to people who aren’t here is the very real feeling that we are in a war against the federal government. Not only are we occupied by unaccountable armed, masked paramilitaries, but we are constantly aware our neighbors might be abducted in the blink of an eye.

German media likens US border patrol official’s coat to ‘Nazi look’ Gregory Bovino’s outwear choice prompts German commentators to compare it to fascist aesthetic

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old and sent him alone to a facility in Texas. Hell isn't hot enough.

"I'm not in denial, I'm in open rebellion" damn that quote goes hard

I rarely donate to fundraisers because most of my money goes towards rent & food, but the Cambridge HEART program is something I will put money behind.

I still believe Christine Blasey Ford and I still believe Anita Hill.

Every technology problem is three social problems in a trench coat

Cuomo, once again being reminded, in a ruinous fashion, that no means no.

This is my thread of #cambma Election Night live tracking results.

So far no results, but the polls only just closed (8pm, or later if people are still in line), & mail-in ballots haven't all have been yet run through the machines at polling places.
