In researching Alexa+ (device prompts me endlessly to activate), I found that Amazon is now uploading echo recordings to their cloud and you can’t opt out… sigh #news #security #privacy www.forbes.com/sites/daveyw...

@washingtonpost.com It's official, my Washington Post sub is #cancelled. Most articles and every editorial seems edited for an audience of one. Bsky any suggestions for what independent media org gets my money?

Some #hope for those that prefer text to audio or video. The #NEWS is… even for depression therapy, text is as effective as audio or video. No more feeling antisocial about my 45 years of text only team chats. (gift article from The New York Times) www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/h...

Today’s tiny ray of #hope That things (like iPhone security) can get a little better…

This is the darkest timeline for sure. #trumphunger www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Ever want a working time machine?Get @sanebox.com and live happily with your Inbox as if it were 1998 again..

This analysis would be more impactful, if SCOTUS weren’t eliminating stare decisis at every opportunity in favor of vibes… @strictscrutiny.bsky.social

Want to feel some #hope? This could be us, after 2028… @volts.wtf

#news #now Greater #Boston Food Bank filling in for missing federal assistance. This is what leadership looks like! If you or someone you know in Mass is at risk, go here to find food resources: www.gbfb.org/2025-governm...

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

#NEWS #NOW #IRL Looks like #UPenn has been #hacked. I just got 5 emails from official upenn.edu addresses that say :

#Lawfare Update from #MA Attorney General Office: the Trump admin placed 3.24 billion of Mass funding at risk. To date, AGO lawsuits have protected 3.012 billion or 93% of the funding. #GoodNews that should provide some #hope! willbrownsberger.com/litigation-w...

Fascinating. Gives me #hope for the #future. Approved in US in 2023

Here they are- donors for destruction of WH

#Indivisible: “The #NoKings era is here, and it’s defined by widespread mass defiance of this regime. That’s why we’re launching the No Kings alliance, a nationwide Rapid Response Network built for this moment to coordinate pushback…” Feel the #hope www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is what democracy looks like! #boston #now #nokings x10 more people than last time!

Today is The Day! I’m bringing a US flag AS a sign to #nokings. We own #patriotism now. Be proud! Be #hopeful! Boston Common 12-3pm Or lookup your town: nokings.org

This story gave me #hope

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

Sure but some of the messages are pretty fun:

20% immediate drop in emergency room visits when that coal plant closed. Wow! You’d think that would be a good reason to close them all!

And the #shutdown is only 16 days old. So… he is lying every time he says they are adjoined because of the shutdown. Crazy that he never gets called on it.

This gives me #hope. This Saturday October 18 #nokings rally let’s also gather “in unison”. Find your location nokings.org. #Boston Common 12pm to noon.

Love this! Sending to Kinkos today! My inflatable frog costume is coming tomorrow. See you all at #nokings (nokings.org) on Saturday! 12pm to 3pm Boston Common!

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

Saturday, October 18. Everywhere. Find your local event at nokings.org. #NoKings

Typical. The real aim is to benefit rich supporters www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/u...

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

#hope #goodnews “A dog named Eeyore turned into a very good boy and a hero of the hour after leading a Florida sheriff’s deputy to where a missing 86-year-old woman had fallen while walking him“ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Their laughter gives me #hope

#hope like a candle being lit in a dark room…

“A Utah resident's death has been linked to a national listeria outbreak that causing three other deaths. The outbreak is linked to pasta meals from Walmart and Trader Joe's.” Maybe it was a mistake to hollow out the federal governmen? www.ksl.com/article/5138...

Have agency. Take action. #hope will be the result!

Worth watching! #fuckyoumakeme should be the theme of the next 3+ years

The most thoughtful and data driven conversation about political violence. Gave me #hope that we have agency! Totally worth listening to the end: podsaveamerica.supercast.com/subscriber_v...

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. This is a must-watch. 🔥 #cdnpoli

How Arjen Lubach (Dutch late night talk show host) reacts to Kimmel being canceled by Trump

Take #hope where you can find it!

Nice summary of various #AI developmental approaches and how they are playing out on global stage. Plus the long term damage caused by current US #immigration approach: www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

“Ooh, can you put it on speaker? I want to hear 911 laugh at you.”

Hmmm... assuming the whole "history doesn't repeat but it rhymes"... now does anyone remember the shooting of Ernst Vom Rath at the German Embassy in Paris in November 1938 which was used as the pretext for Kristallnacht? And yes this is a WWII/Nazi reference, but sometimes it feels unavoidable.

This is what leadership looks like! www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/03/m...

My name is Graham Platner. I'm the oysterman and Marine veteran running against Susan Collins. In 10 days we raised $1 million and signed up 3,000 volunteers. Please share this. Spread the word. Help us build something strong enough to defeat the billionaire class.a

Just got this notice: Apple TV+ (1 month) New $12.99 — Old $9.99 Starting September 21, 2025 That's a huge price increase with NO explanation. The only notice was this automated email that I get whenever any apple subscription goes up in price. Tarrifs or greed or both?

So proud to be a citizen of Mass. our legislatures passed laws over the summer to shore up funding for children’s health and to enable this kind of independent action, just in case it became necessary.

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

“Those moves have cost Americans at least $18bn in higher fees and lost compensation for consumers allegedly cheated by major companies“ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... It’s #corruption all the way down…
