I requested from the Town of Brookline emails containing the keyword "butcherie." I wanted to learn more about the Free Palestine brick incident. Got back 619 pages! blog.nathanielstory.com/blog/butcher...

The form to disclose travel by elected officials in Massachusetts [930 CMR 5.08(2)(d)2] includes the instructions "Members of the General Court – file with the House or Senate clerk or the State Ethics Commission" If they file with the clerk, is the disclosure not a public record?

Lior Haiat, deputy director at Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is coming to Massachusetts in "early September." He wanted to meet with Lt. Gov. Driscoll, but she wasn't available. Instead he will meet with Office of International Trade chief Jeevan Ramapriya.

“But it’s also touchy because nothing enrages paying customers more than seeing others ride for free or at a reduced price — especially when they then sit down and pull out a nicer phone than you have.” If this enrages you, seek therapy. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/o...

Saw this in Istanbul 💔

🚨We must act NOW to stop famine & genocide in Gaza! We demand Senators Warren & Markey introduce a Senate version of HR 3565, Block the Bombs Act, to stop sending weapons to Israel with our tax dollars, and Rep Katherine Clark cosponsor the Block the Bombs Act peopleshungerstrike.org

“End the war in Gaza” The genocide in Gaza, Senator. The genocide you funded.

That recently indicted Sheriff Steven Tompkins? Turns out he is real tight with the Israel lobby. blog.nathanielstory.com/blog/tompkin...

Just got a really cool batch of files. 6,600 conflict of interest law disclosures filed with the State Ethics Commission. I made a database. blog.nathanielstory.com/blog/state-e...

Another batch of emails regarding the Israeli Sheba/ARC Accelerator that is trying to establish a location in Massachusetts. blog.nathanielstory.com/blog/moiti_s...

On December 5th, 2024, Amnesty International concluded that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. On April 30th, Mayor of Newton, MA Ruthanne Fuller went to Israel to celebrate its founding. blog.nathanielstory.com/blog/newton-...

Big dump of emails from The Massachusetts Office of International Trade and Investment (MOITI). Lots of stuff on the Sheba ARC project. blog.nathanielstory.com/blog/moiti_e...

I was reading through a new release of emails (I will post them soon), and I found these photos of @massgovernor.bsky.social meeting with the Israeli Consul General to New England. These are from October 23, 2024. That was over a year into the genocide in Gaza.

Sometimes you make a request and get nothing 🤷‍♂️

I used the new SFI database to identify Massachusetts officials with investments in Israel. The search identified ten officials. Honestly, given the callous disregard for Palestinian lives shown by so many people in government, I expected there to be more. blog.nathanielstory.com/blog/investm...

@beth4ma.bsky.social this language is weak. Do you recognize the genocide in Gaza? Do you support an arms embargo against Israel? Do you support equal rights for everyone from the river to the sea?

I just created a new database containing Statements of Financial Interests (SFI) filed with the Massachusetts State Ethics Commission. It was a fun process getting these. I hope to say more on that soon. 😆 The database contains 38,595 filings. sfi.statereference.com

😊😊😊

Just got back another FOIA, this time from the Treasurer's office. Most interesting tidbit is that she is meeting today with a delegation from the very evil sounding Israel National Defense College (INDC) to discuss "anti-Semitism in liberal states." blog.nathanielstory.com/blog/goldber...

I'm working on something...

I sent another FOIA to the Executive Office of Economic Development (EOED). I found a bit of correspondence between former Secretary Yvonne Hao and Jonathan Kraft, CEO of The Kraft Group. Apparently, the Kraft family is a fan of the former secretary. blog.nathanielstory.com/blog/yvonne-...

I pay my subscription because the Globe's reporting makes our city better. It brings me immense sadness that my subscription also contributes to the salary of this tedious racist idiot @jeffjacoby.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/25/o...

Jesus christ where do they find these people. *looks at her bio* Oh. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/25/o...

Trump makes a half-assed attempt and fails. 👇 this guy: it must be impossible

Don’t forget: we need to abolish the DEA too!

If you use Islamophobic and anti-Palestinian slurs like “terrorist” you gonna get dunked on. Hope that helps.

The map the brick was thrown at: 1. labels the West Bank Sumeria (Shomron) and the Judean Hills 2. no border between Israel and the West Bank and Gaza 3. half a dozen wineries in illegal settlements Someone should interview the owner regarding his political views. I'm sure they're lovely.

George Bush will be in Boston on Tuesday. 😠 convention.bio.org/program-1/tu...

lol this is all the worst www.enterprisenews.com/story/news/l...

I sent a FOIA to the Town of Brookline for emails between the town and the ADL. There are some interesting tidbits here showing how the ADL does its audit of antisemitic incidents. blog.nathanielstory.com/blog/brookli...

This is evil. Bone chilling evil. www.dropsitenews.com/p/palestinia...

EOED Secretary Yvonne Hao mentioned a trip to Israel in an email I previously FOIA'd. Seeking any more details about that trip, I FOIA'd some more. The trip was in 2022 and included philanthropist Joanna Jacobson and MassPort head Lisa Wieland. blog.nathanielstory.com/blog/yvonne-...

Good day for FOIAs! Also received a response from Mass Life Sciences Center. Nothing too interesting, mostly about the ceremony for the Sheba/ARC deal. Because everyone was CC'd on everything, this is basically the same emails as from EOED. wokewindows-data.s3.amazonaws.com/mlsc_consula...

I sent a FOIA to the Executive Office of Economic Development seeking emails exchanged between the office and the Israeli Consulate in Boston. No dramatic revelations, but interesting if you're curious how the consulate interacts with the state. wokewindows-data.s3.amazonaws.com/eoed_consula...

This is incredible. One of the most racist things I've ever read on the internet where the authors used their real names. www.tabletmag.com/sections/new...

A Muzzle Award for the New England Muzzle Awards, who, in 2022, smeared the BDS Mapping Project, cynically using an award dedicated to transparency to intimidate and silence. Any thoughts on retracting this @dankennedy.net @wgbh.org? www.wgbh.org/news/comment...

This is shameful. When a country is doing a genocide, BDS is the minimum we should do. It's shameful for Massachusetts to be a part of this. www.mass.gov/news/governo...

@ditikohli.bsky.social could you ask your colleague to provide a citation for these "blatant episodes of antisemitism"? Anything comparable to the campus institutions that materially support the literal genocide of the Palestinian people? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/22/m...

@bostonglobe.com would it kill you to interview and quote a single Palestinian or anti-Zionist Jew? How about even an off-hand mention of the genocide? Could you at least subject these claims of "anti-semitism" to the smallest amount of scrutiny? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/24/m...

Generally I’m against the destruction of libraries, but I feel we should make an exception here.

Why does law enforcement think it’s appropriate to park in front of a hospital like this? BIDMC Boston has a parking garage. It’s for parking. This area is for pickup and dropoff. Don’t block it, you douchebag! I would @ Strafford County Sheriff and Beth Israel, but neither skeet.

We had a beautiful standout outside the last farmers market of the season. #freepalestine #roslindale
