Once upon a time, I wrote a really, really mean blog post about Somerville’s perennial Mayoral candidate, William ‘Billy’ Tauro. It’s probably the cruelest thing I’ve ever published. Every year I hope that he won’t run and I’ll get to delete it. 2025 is apparently not that year. 1/2

Tesla stock is down 14% since close of markets last Friday. What happened during that time? One answer: mass protests. I describe what it was like at one such protest. What I saw fulfills what I describe as neuroscience-based requirements for effective action. samwang.substack.com/p/the-effect...

My constituents are outraged by skyrocketing gas distribution charges. Eversource claims it's a result of sustainability programs, but their profit on gas delivery went up 30% last year and stands to go up even more this year. Legislators are calling on DPU to reassess the rate hikes they approved.

Pretty simple to say that Musk purchased the Presidency and is acting accordingly. It happens to also have the benefit of being true.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Dems should not allow anything to move in the House or Senate until this is dealt with. Dem have the power in both chambers to jam up the works, and they need to use it. That isn't a radical tactic, it's what the GOP has done for years for trivial matters. Unlike this, which is catastrophic.

JFC. “His basement, his garage, his dorm room were the centers of the action where drugs were available, and he enjoyed showing off how he put baby chickens and mice in the blender to feed his hawks. It was often a perverse scene of despair and violence.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.
