Not a drag queen.

The Trump admin is now actively stopping people from GIVING FOOD to SNAP recipients. Tougas Farms was forced to change a planned food giveaway after receiving this threatening USDA notifice to authorized SNAP retailers that they are not allowed to give free food or discounts to SNAP recipients.

Every time I consider becoming more involved with the City Committee, more garbage comes out. It's so frustrating. And all the time, all Worcester hears is silence.

We have arrived at the stage of the campaign where a Democratic State committee member & a Worcester Democratic City Committee member calls the only Democratic female twice-elected City Councilor a “pig”.

My alma mater Holy Cross in full PR mode as Worcester starts asking about HC buying up College Hill and Rotmans. Not saying they don't contribute to our local economy, but we have to talk about the endless expansion.

6,873 Worcester residents have already voted so far. Spectrum reported 5,500 total in 2023.

D5 candidate forum underway. Big crowd, former councilor Lukes even made the trip in from Holden.

City Manager Augustus just stepping up to the microphone as he returns to the Ballpark District for CMHA's

At this point it feels like whoever the police union is for is exactly the opposite of who I should vote for

Clearly the Research Bureau's report didn't mean anything to Tony Economou. Here's his verbatim response at tonight's candidates forum. "The DOJ report was 'just a bunch of words on paper' ".

Here's the Worcester you currently live in - Kathy Roy, Wayne Griffen and Joe Carlson comparing notes on the sidewalk outside Mechanics Hall.

Looking forward to listening to City Councilor Kate Toomey on @totcshow.bsky.social‬ Wed?, Thurs? Fri? explaining her complete failure to address the lack of oversight of the WPD all these years.

📢The former Worcester Academy Athletic field on Stafford St, has been sold. A proposal is going to the Planning Board. I've invited the developer team to a nbd meeting. 📅 Tue, Oct 14th, 6 pm 📍Christ the Fellowship Church, 1411 Main St. 🅿️arking: Lot to the left of the church or at City Line.

lol it’s this guy

What a disappointment. The Ballpark Commission is voting tomorrow morning on an application to use one of the free "community days" at the ballpark to host an "active shooter exercise".

This is the first reference to present day conscientious objection I've seen in mainstream media. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Sitting in on this morning's WRA meeting. First up, Menkiti Group, the developer the City just fined for breaking the TIF agreement is now negotiating new financial arrangements due expectations of more delays for the redevelopment of the Denholm building.

Busy weeks at Carpenters Local 336. We're dedicated to having an impact in the upcoming Worcester municipal elections. Glad to include @linhares4worcester.bsky.social as one of the local candidates our members want to stand with this year.

You can get a glimpse of what a vote for Tony Economou will get us in November from his @progressivemass.bsky.social questionnaire. In District 1, Vote @linhares4worcester.bsky.social . PDF: www.progressivemass.com/wp-content/u...

Councilor Toomey currently offering up a symbolic resolution because she doesn't want to vote on the fire sprinkler resolution because it is only "symbolic".

Worcester is again among just a few cities choosing to hold it's Preliminary Election the day after Labor Day. Sept. 16 is the preferred date elsewhere. Isn't the 9th or 16th far better for turnout? Anyone know why Election Comm. went w/ day after Labor Day again? City Mngr and Mayor concurred.

When people say civilian review boards don't work, there's a reason. share.google/zSGJkrCfZeGh...

At least for now, it's still the Frances Perkins Dept. of Labor building.

Seriously @masslive.bsky.social ? What a racist lead for an article, and then to replicate it in the title. Cut it out.

@ericcasey.bsky.social, the author of the piece in the @wbjournal.bsky.social about Chip Norton's bankruptcy and debt, will be with us this morning at 7:35

Huge amounts $$ going directly from developers to Mayor Petty's campaign. More than I've seen in past years and more than I've seen media digging into. And then there's this.

Some idiot argued with Grok about the Massachusetts congressional map until it hallucinated a republican gerrymander you could not imagine

A peace-filled ending to tonight's commemoration. #Hiroshima #Nagasaki

Chance to use Hiroshima and Nagasaki days as an opportunity to nudge #MassPOLI to action. Thx Mass Peace Action. secure.everyaction.com/YtjbNB7ZIUWd...

Worcester's Center for Non-Violent Solutions has organized a Hiroshima and Nagasaki memorial event for 6:30pm, TODAYAug 6th at Regatta Park.

Sorry to see Dr. Castiel leaving. It was going to be a very hard year ahead, and it just got a lot harder. www.masslive.com/worcester/20...

Shame on you Google Do no evil. Google drops more than 50 DEI-related groups from a funding list share.google/FfP4hVFiTsig...

35th anniversary of ADA! We are so fortunate in Worcester that @bilottafordistrict2.com is running in District 2! Please get to know him. Go Rob!

Another day in the 90’s. It sure would be nice if the Crystal Park spray park was open and not sitting unfinished, no movement, and no explanation from the Parks Department.

Painful to listen to City Councilor Carlson proclaiming her deep concern for affordable housing when she spent much of the past two years undermining affordable housing efforts.

A politician’s job is to make the political case to voters. And few do it better than Rep. McGovern.

We were told all the pools were opening. That wasn't true. In fact, the Crompton Park pool never opened. It still looks green and swampy like the everglades. I called the Parks Dept. The official response is the pool will have a "delayed opening". The CM's Office blamed it on "mechanical failure".

Is there a way to get actual public meetings to show up on Worcester's new Municipal Calendar?

Community to honor Molly Bish with vigil 25 years after abduction

Rather than work on constituent services or to improve public safety, Councilor Toomey is holding a special Public Safety Cttee mtg 5pm Tues. so Cipro, Petrone & Duffy can again try to discredit the DOJ report which exposed a long list cases of sexual assault & excessive force by the Worcester PD.

See you at the festival today!

I did not have Beyond Wrestling and the White Eagles on my Worcester BINGO card as one of the CM's Worcester highlight's in his upcoming evaluation report.

Enough of the telling lies. Councilor Candy Carlson has built her political career on dirty politics. Councilor Carlson has yet again dug into her bag of dirty tricks to accuse others, her rivals and opponent, of organizing the community protests against ICE, the WPD and the City Manager.
