Healey: Massachusetts insurers have to cover the cost of all vaccines approved by the state, no matter what the brainworm in chief says. This includes MassHealth and GIC.

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda How quick we forget.

Increasingly I go to meetings and just say some version of “everyone here is the exception, not the rule, including me, most people don’t care one way or the other”, and this is why.

Today we’re launching our new podcast: Everybody Gets Pie 🥧 - conversations about making America abundant again: housing, energy, childcare, innovation & more. Ep. 1: The landmark CEQA reform in California with @scottwiener.bsky.social‬ & @buffywicks.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEMG...

pride is next week pride wasn't brought to you by delta air lines, microsoft, coca-cola or even the democratic party. it was brought to you by trans women throwing bricks at cops and lesbians taking care of gay men dying of AIDS during reagan. do not forget where we came from. now more than ever.

At the risk of sounding corny, hope really is a practice. I’m as much of a cynical depresso as the next person. The reason why I find doomerism so toxic is that it forecloses the possibility of a better future. The devils want us to fall into despair.

The best later abortion reporting I’ve ever read. Thank you @amylittlefield.bsky.social for lifting up our patients and staff in such a tender, respectful way, and for calling out the terrible political decisions that got us viability bans.

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

you know if the industrial revolution had arrived 300 years later it would have meant shortened and immiserated lives for easily hundreds of millions of people, but they wouldn't have even realized it. wouldn't have known there was a better future they could have had. stolen progress is invisible.

WTAF Public Notice 😖

Julia Gelatt (Migration Policy Institute): “Revoking TPS for Afghans would be a stark reversal in the country’s treatment of Afghan allies who fought & worked alongside the US. Most Afghans in the US have strong asylum cases based on their US affiliation. This is even more true for Afghan women.”

Such a powerful telling- that liberation must be from a place of abundance. For all. Not just me and my mine. The scarcity mindset of just us getting ours, means no one gets free!

i need people to understand that asian grocery stores aren’t just a lifeline to asian americans: they’re also a source of fresh and affordable produce to low income non-asians who live in HCOL areas

At least we have some schadentainment to help season the collapse of our democratic experiment and all its institutions. Bless 🙏!

I've seen speculation that the intended add was Trade Chief Jamieson Greer. For whoever it was, is anyone articulating the angle that he was kept out of the loop of the PC entirely, if it was all done on Signal? Nice to be left off the crime-ing, but he might have needed some of that info.

But her emails ... We are living through a full on, self-inflicted Greek tragedy with American democracy as our protagonist, falling to disaster through the combination of a personal failing and circumstances with which she cannot deal.

We've lived here for almost 19 years, order *lots* of stuff online, and in all that time, a package has *never* been taken off our porch til yesterday. That's a good run! I'm just giggling at the added detail that our first package thief scored a 48 pack of pads and some black licorice bites. 😂

Ken represents everything I personally know and love about Boston. The politics can be complicated, it’s definitely not all sweetness and light in Southie and Dorchester - but ultimately it remains a radical city. It’s still the place with the closest affinity to the ‘auld sod.

"why does the American public not understand what's happening in their own country" I shout over the hedge fund dessicated corpse of local journalism

The decisive test of our society in my lifetime was the 2024 election and our failure was spectacular and total. I will never again have any faith in the American electorate to do the obviously right thing.

A dog is running for mayor of Dorchester. We’re here for it | Bay State Briefing

Searching "prisoner's dilemma" on bsky right now -- it is almost like the joke was soooooo obvious ...

obviously this is terrible for democracy and the rule of law in America but I'm also offended on behalf of the prisoner's dilemma

>doing a prisoner’s dilemma with a group of lawyers who are all in the same room #uspoli

All the good economists became democrats and now you can’t even set up a prisoner’s dilemma game correctly in the Trump admin

This isn't how you get Prisoner's Dilemma; this is how you get "I Am Spartacus."

They can’t even fucking “prisoner’s dilemma” properly. They put all the folks who just witnessed their bosses heroic self-sacrifice in defense of the Constitution TOGETHER and able to DISCUSS AMONGST THEMSELVES???

This is what should happen everywhere, but especially in 🟦states with commitments to protecting the most marginalized in our society. We can't be a refuge from fascists attempts to roll back decades of civil rights progress if no one can afford to move here.

My neighbors are wonderful people who have incredible passion for their community, but their interests as owners of what have become million dollar homes are not representative of our city's housing needs and renters or bus riders are not represented AT ALL
