Great short film detailing some of the challenges our Northshore communities face. The saddest part for me is fighting my gut reaction, thinking about all the people who won't be able to afford to live here once we commit to a solution.
Wow. Let’s not blow past this. The administrator of the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY says that climate change is a hoax/con job.
My friend Liz O’Gilvie is relentless in working for #foodjustice and #foodinsecurity. Her voice and perspective is valued in all the meetings we have been in together. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/22/b...
"Large data centers, many devoted to researching artificial intelligence, are expected to use more than 150 billion gallons of water across the U.S. over the next five years, according to the advocacy organization Alliance for the Great Lakes."

A man in tactical gear and a baseball hat is taking an axe to a car window. He looks like he’s smiling.
This picture may haunt me to the end of my days.
It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man.
An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/

Also, let's be clear: Having a criminal record also doesn't mean you should be deported to a torture camp in another country and effectively sentenced to death.
Because everybody has basic rights, and because dictatorships will always redefine what "criminality" means.
Being openly conservative at a liberal university comes with certain hazards, according to Miguel Muniz and Martin Bertao. They are the incoming and outgoing presidents of the University of California Berkeley College Republicans and say they face harassment whenever they set up a table on campus. "We're called fascist. We're yelled at. We're spit at," Muniz says, adding that verbal attacks are a constant. "You're not always going to have someone pushing you."
But you're not being kidnapped and disappeared for being a conservative on campus

There’s been a lot to be upset about in the last few months.
But as an American, this truly disgusts me. The USA’s closest ally now is a guy who calls himself the “coolest dictator” — this Oval Office meeting is like a huge F.U. to the judicial branch and the Supreme Court’s 9-0 decision

“But make no mistake: We are just as wrong now as we have been in the past, with similarly devastating consequences. It just seems we are now less willing to face it.”

the sick thing is, we have an actual policy that was revitalizing US manufacturing without relying on the nimble hands of underpaid 10yo wastrels
it’s called the Inflation Reduction Act and they are shoving it into the wood chipper

Not being allowed to hand water to people in line to vote no matter who they are voting for, while being allowed to hand people million dollar checks to get their vote, is the most American thing ever.
Early Intervention was life-changing for my son and actually saved our school district money in the long run

I hate "Nobody voted for..." framing. I understand it, but people did vote for it. They ignored information readily available to them. They can't change the past, but if they are mad and regretful, they can help change the future.
Here is a quick and helpful explainer on why it's important for ask your senator to vote NO on cloture (not just on the bill itself...). Short version: it's much easier to kill this by voting no on cloture.
I thought it was curious that my son has a lot more homework on paper, written out. I asked why and he said ChatGPT, you can't copy and paste this way. Interestingly, he likes it much better.
*Jon Ossoff* just announced he's voting no. You think that happened out of nowhere? CALL YOUR SENATORS. 👇
![Hello, I'm [NAME] from [TOWN].
I just wanted to call to confirm that the Senator's commitment to voting against the Republican CR includes voting against cloture?
[if yes] Send my thanks to the Senator
[if noncommittal] Please let the Senator know that I strongly encourage them to vote no on cloture, and that people are watching the cloture vote.
Thank you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:u6ajzyiqzkzbppp2x2y7fpfu/bafkreia2tvh4cjjoae3i4ulgjsvhdetbptjyevi6f7b4u3apctmotviwfe)

Again, here's an easy script from @phrly.bsky.social to call Warren and Markey.
