@slotkin.senate.gov, WTF, no! How on Earth do you think that pandering to the right is the correct thing to do. So, are you trying to be fascism-lite? You sound cringe and clueless. Absolutely not. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Yes, the Democrats need to be a functional opposition party, but WTF are you doing?

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

Removing a black 4-star general at Secretary of Defense and replacing him with a white talk-show is the perfect example why DEI is essential. It's not about hiring unqualified minorities, it’s about foiling the majority's habit of hooking up under qualified mediocrities of their own caste.

BREAKING: Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan arrested by the FBI for obstructing ICE arrest

Good morning. We are still raising funds for our neighbors in need, whose house has been uninhabitable since a devastating fire in February. Even small donations help, as does sharing this along, to boost the signal. Thank you! gofund.me/63df544c

May Day is about power — celebrating workers' power and honoring those who fought for it. While Trump, Musk, and the GOP gut workers’ rights and sell our country out for profit, we’re teaming up with a coalition of organizations for a nationwide day of mobilization.

“No fresh fruit has entered Gaza in over a month. Our last protein ingredients have already been cooked.”

The veggie sub from Madtown Subs circa 1996. I don’t know what they did, but it was one of the best subs I have ever had, and I was sad when they closed. Of course, decades later they’ve grown so legendary in my memory that I could probably have the exact same thing and it wouldn’t match the memory.

In unvaccinated children, measles has an approximate mortality rate of 3.3%. That is 28,050 dead little kids. A mid-sized stadium, full of dead kids. All preventable.

What people really don’t want to hear is that shaming people who brag about writing emails with AI would be just fine. Admirable in fact. Norms can sometimes do what law won’t.

Apparently, trans women have a biological advantage at pool.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

Continuing to raise awareness and funds for my neighbors in need. Their house remains uninhabitable after a fire. Please help boost the signal on this. gofund.me/63df544c

one of the world's top cancer scientists, who works for Harvard, is at risk of deportation to Russia where she might be killed for criticizing Putin, because she allegedly failed to disclose carrying frog embryos at the border. it's upending American medical research: prospect.org/health/2025-...

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

One Boston cop sues another, and the city, over alleged swatting call www.universalhub.com/2025/one-bos...

Also: this is the second story TODAY where the administration only admitted that someone had been sent to El Salvador after the media reported that he had been disappeared without a trace www.yahoo.com/news/venezue...

Last week @altnps.bsky.social put out a call to boycott products made in El Salvador. Yes, boycott Hanes, Fruit of the Loom, Gildan, etc, also email, tag their socials, comment on their FB, tell them why: you do biz w/ a man who puts innocent men in torture gulags, we aren't buying. Release them.

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch

Once again, asking for help for my neighbors, who are good people in a difficult spot. Even if you can't donate, please share! gofund.me/63df544c

We're leveling up!! May 1 is coming soon! Find your local event! mobilize.us/mayday/map/

Petty question, but does the in-flight WiFi *ever* work on Delta? I’m sure it must, but I don’t know that it has ever worked for me.

I finished @melissacaruso.bsky.social’s Last Hour Between Worlds on my flight today, and now I begin the wait for the second book. If you haven’t read it yet, you should!

Trans Lifeline is a good place to direct resources if you’re looking to help here fuck everyone involved with this decision

In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD

NEW: A Democratic congressional delegation visited Mahmoud Khalil and Rümeysa Öztürk at ICE facilities in Louisiana today, to demand their release and observe conditions there. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/22/n...

Covid could actually be over if we wanted it to be. But we were too desperate to insist that it was over when it wasn't. Our denial is going to ruin a lot of lives.

I guess it's time for me to stop eating food and learn to photosynthesize.

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

This February, right before a snowstorm, my neighbors were hit with a devastating fire. After sorting out some logistics, we have started a fundraiser to help them out, as things are still highly difficult. Even if you can’t contribute, please boost the signal. gofund.me/63df544c

Pope Francis passed away today. Until his final days, he stood firmly for Palestinian rights, speaking with Palestinians in Gaza almost daily and refusing to stay silent as Israel committed genocide.

NEW: Sens. @padilla.senate.gov and @lujan.senate.gov lead six other Senate Democrats in a letter opposing Trump admin calls to fold what Congress set up to be an independent postal service into the Commerce Department and potentially privatize USPS services www.padilla.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

Just so cruel

BOSTON STRONG

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

DO NOT RANK CUOMO, WHO WILL LET ICE KIDNAP YOUR FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, AND MAYBE YOU OFF THE STREET. DO RANK: 1. Zohran Mamdani 2. Brad Lander 3. Jessica Ramos 4. Zellnor Myrie 5. Adrienne Adams

This is mind-boggling. Again, where is your statement, HarperCollins? www.vulture.com/article/neil...

The information in all these comprehensive studies can be summarized in 2 points: 1. bikes decarbonize cities even with a single trip per person taken every week 2. safety is the reason people won't use bikes Want a #BostonGreenNewDeal? We MUST build the #BostonBikeNetwork @wutrain.bsky.social
