Had fun canvassing for @votejivan.bsky.social in Wellington-Harrington this morning

I was there, and I too spoke against using the IHRA definition.

This Machine Kills Fascist Media Owners

H/T @letschangecambridge.us for producing this chart showing who the various advocacy groups have endorsed, and making it super easy to rank a slate of pro-bike pro-housing candidates letschangecambridge.us/articles/cho...

We're pleased that @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social Editorial Board is urging Harvard students to vote for pro-bike safety City Council candidates—and cites our slate of endorsed candidates.

Over the past two days I have read articles in Israeli newspapers about: - Half of Israeli exporters losing business. - Israel's attempt to not get kicked out of Eurovision and European soccer league. - Informal boycotts on academics. - Informal boycotts on musicians. Political organizing works!

Today in "prediction markets have limits", Wu is currently at 97% chance of winning on Polymarket but she's the only person on November's ballot, she's literally unbeatable: polymarket.com/event/boston... Perhaps there's liquidity issues cause no one wants to take the other side of the bet.

Oh no the construction equipment rapture is apparently ahead of schedule

Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and help make a difference this election season? Cambridge Bicycle Safety IEPAC’s All-Hands Meetings are for people who want to get more deeply involved in election work and commit at least a few hours of volunteering between now and Election Day.

A few days ago, I had the pleasure of speaking to the Joint Committee on Housing at the State House in favor of the Act to Promote Yes in my Backyard. We need to build more housing and we need every community to help. Thank you, Abundant Housing MA

As is usually the case for our Cambridge representatives, @pressley.house.gov does the right thing, @whipkclark.bsky.social does the wrong thing.

I would add that one person isn't enough, you need a majority, so really you should be ranking all of Cambridge Bicycle Safety's Bike Champions (Al-Zubi, Azeem, Bullister, McGovern, Melanson, Siddiqui, Sobrinho-Wheeler) in the order of your choice. www.cambridgebikesafety.org/election/

Mood. I have been in this place and I have failed.

This is a major loss for the @bostonglobe.com editorial board - and for the larger civic debate. But I so appreciate @rygraham.bsky.social sticking to her principles. dankennedy.net/2025/09/18/r...

Earplugs are also a good idea, the noise gets LOUD at these.

There are two listed in the Boston area.

Reminder that the ADL is all in on supporting the Trump regime's attack on Khalil, and you should never listen to them on any topic whatsoever.

Welcome to @thewaroncars.bsky.social, Nantucket Seagull

Endorsement slates make it a lot easier to figure out who to vote for in the upcoming City Council election. Here's how: letschangecambridge.us/articles/cho... #CambMA #CambridgeMA

Also worth keeping in mind that the IDF is a people's army (~60% of Israel's population). It's mostly conscripts and reservists implementing the genocide, including many people who claim to oppose Netanyahu. The genocide is the result of the actions of a whole society, not just their government.

We like to talk about voter suppression as something only Republicans do. But putting the state primary on the major move-in day is shameful voter suppression by Democrats here in MA. #mapoli www.wwlp.com/news/massach...

We have 2 updates to our vaccine clinic schedule. 1) The clinic at the Cambridge Senior Center is now on Tuesday, 10/21. 2) The clinic at King Open School now has a time from 4:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. It's still on Thursday, 10/23. www.cambridgepublichealth.org/cambridge-pu... @cambridgeday.com

That ostensibly liberal publications like the Boston Globe are lionizing someone as despicable as Charlie Kirk is the triumph of process over substance. As long as you go through the motions, then the fact that you are calling for violence against marginalized people is just a difference of opinion.

No child should shake in their sleep as bombs erupt overhead or plead through a camera lens to die with their parents so they won’t be left alone. More than 20,00 children have been killed.   The U.S. has manufactured & delivered weapons that rain down on civilians in Gaza.

Presidential proclamations are not binding, and Healey agreeing to fly the flag half-mast for Charlie Kirk is shameful. Nothing so much a mention of the shooting victims across the country. Just valorizing a man who viewed his political opponents as subhuman. www.masslive.com/news/2025/09...

The Boston Globe has terrific news reporters, but I cannot recommend purchasing a subscription as long as it also pays for these terrible, horrible, no good, very bad opinions writers.

Just a reminder that the p*lice are defunding YOU

if only the community told them when it first passed! working-mass.com/2025/02/06/c...

Anna's Taqueria is doing $3.50 super burritos to celebrate 30 years of being open. I want to get 3.

Today we're sharing a deeper dive into how we made our Council endorsements. We considered 3 major components: (1) a commitment to completing the CSO on schedule by 2026, (2) each candidate’s vision for the future drawn from our candidate questionnaire, and (3) the voting record of incumbents.

The Ig Nobel prizes are happening next week at Boston University, and online. improbable.com/the-35th-fir...

@bostopianews.bsky.social had a segment pointing out how every time Josh Kraft is mentioned it's always "son of billionaire Robert Kraft" and yep it just doesn't stop. Over and over again, in every news article.

If someone wants to buy me a condo in the North End and give me a few million dollars I too would be happy to launch a losing mayoral campaign.

If blue states are going to be a refuge for people fleeing authoritarian tyranny in red states, they can't have a median home price of $900,000.

Treating a genocidal fascist regime as representative of Jewish people writ large is patently antisemitic and it’s a world historical scandal that so many Jews have been successfully recruited into such an effort.

Really tired of listening to right-wing politicians claim bike lanes are bougie infrastructure sought by rich white people when street calming will disproportionately benefit poor people of color who don't have cars! www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/09/m...

This is gold. Emmy for Morgan Spector just for the pronunciation of "Cuomo."

Make sure you are talking about safe streets to candidates and your current elected officials. Lack of progress and other things like this happen because some elected officials think we don't care about safe streets anymore. Participatory budgeting is not enough!! Thanks @benforward3.bsky.social

I, a healthcare lawyer, run through how to navigate the pharmacy websites to make a COVID vaccine appointment. This video is completely shareable, there's no patreon account, no log in at all, required. It's meant to be a shareable resource for your normie friends www.patreon.com/posts/138393...

The fact that Kraft ally Jay Cashman set up a fake pro-bike org to slow down or cancel infrastructure projects deserves more attention: www.pedalsafebostonscam.com

There's an economics idea where workers in areas that never see productivity growth (taking care of small children, say) still see their wages increase anyway, in order to stay competitive with other potential jobs in a growing economy. Whose idea is this/what is it called? #EconSky

The newly formed political group “Shalom Somerville” writes that their mission is “building an inclusive, respectful, and civil community,” but it really gives the game away when one of their top candidates refers to people like me as terrorists (for calling for a ceasefire.)

Are you prebeared to vote on September 9th?

Why aren't you signed on @whipkclark.bsky.social ?

Various activist groups in Greater Boston are planning a hunger strike in front of the JFK Federal Building starting next week to demand the halt of military aid to Israel. If interested, click here for details: buff.ly/XRBKDDM

Every time I read a Jeff Jacoby piece, my reaction is the same: "How many actual reporters could be funded with his salary?"

Every post in next door is like “I was driving the other day and accidentally blew through a stop sign, I almost killed a kid that was crossing the street. Please have your kids be more aware.” Top response: “The dsa e bike city council did this”
