A voter from Cambridge MA here. We have used PR since 1941 for our City Council and School Committee. It’s as easy to vote as counting to ten and would eliminate gerrymandering. It encourages multiple party participation. Only Town Meeting, where you represent yourself, is more democratic.

Looking Up! The perfect spring day to visit the @bpl.boston.gov Central Courtyard.

Avoid Mount Auburn Street past Fresh Pond Parkway going into Harvard Square. Cars crashed into building at Lowell. #CambridgeMA

It’s that time of year! At around 4pm, from now and into late summer the afternoon sun spills down the stairs and into the lobby of Boston Public Library’s McKim Building! @bpl.boston.gov #BPLHenge

A great read on the situation in the Strait of Hormuz: open.substack.com/pub/post/p/t...

No way that is a picture of a 71 year old man!

It seemed impossible to me that whole shadowed side of the moon was lit up by earthshine during the #Artemis2 eclipse yesterday. Now it makes sense. What seemed impossible is revealed in today’s photo #NASA photo drop. Earthshine and starshine can coexist on the shadowed side of the moon.

Watching the NASA live feed of the merry-go-round-the-moon and can see the moon wiggling on the camera shot outside because the astronauts are using their flywheel exercise machine. #Artemis2

During the holiest time in the Christian calendar, I think it is important to emphasize: This is not what Jesus would do.

OMG!

Bumping this must-see! One takeaway (of many): Funding the renovation of Our White House’s East Wing with private money is a bribe. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @vanessawilliamson.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/aBcPKrw...

The Artemis2 solar panel is beautiful in the sunlight. #Artemis2 #NASA

Typing a search for: “If I redact his name from the new 250th dollar is it still legal tender.” A user named AI answers: “Drawing, stamping, or "redacting" a name usually does not make the bill unspendable…” Typing another search for: “Is the user named AI dependable…” #RedactTrump

SCOOP— Trump wants a 24k gold coin w/ his face on it for America 250, but an official at a late February coin advisory committee meeting called it something only done by "nations ruled by kings or dictators." After NYT reported the criticism, US Mint yanked online vid of the meeting w/o explanation.

We recreated Edwin Austin Abbey’s mural “Galahad approaches Arthur” at @bpl.boston.gov during the Boston Public Library Fund’s 2025 “Night(mare) in the Stacks”. In the 1800s, this activity was called creating a Tableaux Vivant. #BostonPublicLibrary #NightmareintheStacks #Halloween2025

The White Ballroom will need a bigger table.

Disney learned nothing from Andor.

DC Statehood! Now, more than ever! The denial of full representation and governing rights to Washington DC residents has allowed for too many abuses — most recently by Trump. Democrats must make DC Statehood a priority of their next administration and Congress!

I took the bus from NW DC over to The Greatest High School in the City (On Eye Street since 1821) from 1968-1972 without incident. No Federal takeover needed.

I did it. I threw the sandwich. #FreeDC #NoTaxationWithoutRepresentation #IAmSpartacus

Fighting Kings since April, 1775. #NoKings #LexingtonMA

When Sir Henry Vane, the 5th Governor of the MA Bay Colony, returned home, he argued for Parliament over the King. He was beheaded by Charles II but his ideas persisted into the US Constitution. A statue of Vane greets all entering @bpl.boston.gov in Copley Square, silently speaking: “No King.”

Excellent choice.
