"Justin Silverman, executive director of the New England First Amendment Coalition, said the O’Connell situation shows how 'parts of the #Massachusetts domestic violence law can be misused to keep the arrests of public figures secret' even though the statute was well-intentioned." #Taunton #mapoli

It was very stupid for these two kids to bring toy guns to school, but they are still kids. They are 12 and 13. Arresting and charging two kids with developing brains for doing something stupid will not help anyone. #Holyoke #Massachusetts #mapoli

Chuck Schumer's post claiming that the Supreme Court stripping the right to receive healthcare from trans people is a distraction is still up on X the Everything App. Fuck you, @schumer.senate.gov.

ICE accused Milford teen Marcelo Gomes da Silva of telling "blatant lies" about his detention in #Burlington. In the same statement, ICE claimed Seth Moulton and Jake Auchincloss visited the detention facility and had "no concerns" — but both lawmakers said that wasn't true. #Massachusetts #mapoli

🚨By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court UPHOLDS Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors, concluding that it does NOT discriminate on the basis of sex, is not subject to heightened scrutiny, and survives rational basis review. All three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Hmmm... seems bad that Senate Dems are pretending not to know anything about this specific provision in the bill when asked by @ericmgarcia.bsky.social... Seems like coordinated faux ignorance.

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

So @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social did a writeup of Brad Lander's arrest today at 26 Federal Plaza in NYC, focusing not just on Lander's treatment, but the treatment of immigrants inside, both in the courtroom and once they are detained. prospect.org/justice/2025...

Curious that this article does not mention that Israel started this "conflict" by bombing Iran without provocation.

This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people. ICE is Gestapo trash.

Brad has been released and the crowd breaks into a chant of “Free them all.”

It is extraordinarily weird watching him conveying a single, cohesive thought for more than five seconds here. It really does show you that, while his heart as always been several shades deeper than vantablack, there's something medically wrong with his brain at this point.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

For #FathersDay, please read my story about James Carver and take a moment to consider all the families that have been separated by incarceration.

A man with a green card said ICE agents arrested him in #Lynn, Mass then took him to a detention facility—but first made a detour to a cemetery, where they took him out of their vehicle and beat him. #mapoli #Massachusetts

Do we really need to put in the newspaper how compassionate cops are every time they don't kill an autistic child sitting on the ground while hiding a broken pair of scissors? Shouldn't this be the norm? #Stoughton #mapoli www.enterprisenews.com/story/news/l...

ICE is continuing to arrest elected officials on baseless charges as part of its lawless campaign of terror. ICE is a threat to everyone's basic constitutional rights. No half measures. #AbolishICE.

The armed, yellow-vested "peacekeepers" at the Utah 50501 protest in Salt Lake City opened fire into a crowd, hitting two people: A Sāmoan fashion designer with two young kids, who died. A second-generation Venezuelan immigrant and antiracist protester who was legally carrying. Cops charged HIM.
