Donald Trump's Dept. of Health and Human Services is trying to remove anti-discrimination protections for folks with gender dysphoria diagnoses - we're fighting back. We're joining a multistate coalition to oppose this rule and protect our trans community.

Oh yeah, Massachusetts is prepping. Apparently this bakery had anti-ice cookies and received death threats. They won't be open their usual hours tomorrow. Not out of fear, out of baked goods. They completely sold out and need to spend tomorrow restocking.

ICE is threatening Boston apparently, which means it's going against Cambridge money and the Dorchester boys. It won't be a good time for anyone.

Constant on-brand activist but toothless press releases are one thing from our City Councilors - but long silence is another. It would be good to know now if we can count on Ed and Erin and others when a violent Minneapolis scale ICE surge comes to Boston.

It is the 107th anniversary of Boston's Great Molasses Flood, which, despite the delightful name, was a major industrial accident of the sort that explains why we have safety regulations and inspections.

At any time if Erin and Ed want to retire and spend time just posting statements daily instead of working- I’m sure tons of people would be more than happy to have a shot at their seat to do their jobs.

You can tell things are cooked because the 2026 intentional racist messaging from the national DHS (Department of Homeland Security) doesn't even provoke as much national attention and pushback as the 2019 unintentional double entendre from the other DHS (Dorchester Historical Society).

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Sometimes a case just stops you in your tracks, like this 1816 Boston investigation of “a Woman personating a Man, by being dressed in Men’s apparel and parading the Streets.” The case never made it to trial, & I can find nothing else abt her. Not the only crossdressing case I’ve seen but rare! 🗃️

This could have included Boston, but too many of our electeds were quietly benefitting as gatekeepers by limiting housing construction and too many of our activists were more concerned new housing wouldn't be enough to overthrow capitalism.

my child is at that great age where she kind of understands things but not really. she learned the word “delicate” this Christmas. we were explaining to her while traveling that Boston is a really old city. and she just calmly whispered “oh, Boston is really delicate” over and over again.
