The Bondi firing will get all the attention but what Hegseth is doing with the upper echelons of the military is much more dangerous over time than Bondi’s tenure as AG. And it won’t get 1% of the coverage. Someday it will get a lot of coverage, and those will be dark days.

This is proof that sometimes you never know how good things can get, and even then, they can sometimes get even better. 13/10 for all (TT: matiastapia2409)

Trump's got the drip tonight ❄️

There’s no announcement coming. There is no plan.

Was a real treat to see this bad boy in person a month back.... godspeed Artemis!!

Recommendation is go!

From NASA.gov theyre a Go!

Currently a No-Go, unless they get this fixed

"Banks’ behavior was said to have been investigated by Customs and Border Protection officials twice, including last year, but the investigation ended abruptly while Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was in office, leading to more questions."

Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.

Has anyone asked Homan why the ICE agents are armed when TSA agents are not?

53 years ago today, the last U.S. combat troops left South Vietnam, ending America’s direct role in the Vietnam War. I remember seeing this anti-war PSA back then. Its message is sadly still very relevant today as Trump drags us into another unpopular war.

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.) But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.

Best I can reckon, this would be the most people ever assembled on Boston Common in its 392 years? Would be the papal visit in '79, the last No Kings in '25, then today. drone shot pulled from CNN #NoKings

The Far Side from 1987

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals. And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked. And then the DEI office was killed. And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.

So, the mayor's office says "The City is closely working with the MBTA". But in February, after months of foot-dragging, the city planner said they had been directed *not* to meet with the MBTA. And the "full comment letter" is dated March 23rd. Hard not to see this as *in response* to bad press.

God. I can’t even imagine why campuses aren’t having giant protests after the publication asking the question joined a chorus of voices cheering on students getting their skulls split by police and roving gangs or else expelled and their futures ruined. Good lord what a fucking disgrace this is.

Nick Gove and his DCR-brain strikes again! "The emails show that MBTA project managers were repeatedly asking City of Boston to review final design plans for the Columbus Avenue project over the winter – and City of Boston Chief of Streets Nick Gove repeatedly denied those requests."

Seems like there's a lot of finger pointing already going around---and it's not even April yet

Oh, is that what theyre doing? "Assisiting"? By performing tasks or

@amtrak.com don't forget about the time change at your BBY station. One of us has a badly set clock, and somehow yours is both 3 minutes fast and an hour behind @universalhub.com

ICE apparently staged out of the parking lot of the Star market on Beacon this morning. Word is that they headed into Cambridge. If you see them, call LUCE: 617-370-5023

@katmabu.bsky.social ran a great race. She's young and has a bright future ahead of her. Also, she changed the course of the race and introduced progressive politics that can't be ignored by the Democratic Party anymore.

Cool, cool

Your friendly Boston reminder that all parking meters in the city are free today, in honor of Evacuation Day.

Today (+/- a few days) we're as far removed from "the beginning of COVID" as the evacuating British were from the Boston Massacre.

March 17, 1776 (Morning): The British give up Boston without a fight. Gen. William Howe leads over 6,000 redcoats into transports docked at the harbor, unmolested by Washington’s Army observing them from the heights. After 334 days of siege and suffering, the cradle of the Revolution is free. 1/7
