[Whitney Houston voice] AND IIIIIIIIII

Going about another normal day in America like

Two previously secret ICE campaigns in the boston area that align with the date of Eureka Street (May 8) per @kenklippenstein.bsky.social document dump www.kenklippenstein.com/p/21-secret-...

Davinci Resolve pulling some eldritch horrors out of the council's reciting of the pledge of allegiance last night lol. Fitting!

Today at 4. Council’s first significant action tomorrow will be signing off on a big tax deal for a developer that’s reliably stiffed workers and failed to follow thru on promises

And why do you have your own partnership with ICE? Maybe end it now.

In this piece @billshaner.bsky.social draws a straight line between the WPD & Minneapolis Police Union statements after we defended 3 women on Eureka St. The rhetoric reeks of the same ideology & contempt for community.

Why does @nbcboston.com have this evil freak who was personally involved in violating the civil rights of immigrants in his jail as a guest on their network? He's not even in office anymore. Disgusting and embarrassing to feature him. www.nbcboston.com/news/local/l...

Looking for a community organizer type who really really understands the mass connector care system... have a few questions. Anyone know anyone

First of all hell yeah Andrew! Big win. Second off this is the DA that's sending an ADA to Worcester to prosecute the Spring + Haxhiaj cases lol

On the one hand google is a massive extortion racket drawing a blanket enclosure around "information" itself, laying a rug under all of civilization that only they have the power to one day pull--a real life death star! On the other hand the new split view feature on Chrome rocks lol

I love the non-scammy and very altruistic and also solutions oriented nature of the Green Energy Sector

wow joe petty's committee assignments stink 👍

domestic drone strike by probably September at this rate

Was there any sort of feed of Pettys inauguration speech? Can’t find one. What a great start lol

police union president thomas duffy is suing tom marino of this week in worcester (defamation, filed today) for writing true things about him, a public figure, that are of public interest. The suit, which Duffy paid $275 to file, is for $10,000,000. This guy is a fucking bad joke

there's maybe six pieces I've written over the years I'm 100 percent fully proud of. The story on the eureka street ICE abduction I wrote for @lukeoneil47.bsky.social in May is #1 or #2. Honored it's on the best of hell world list!! So much good stuff on there

As well as @billshaner.bsky.social @gonebabygone.bsky.social @samthielman.com @unraveledpress.com @karengeier.com @joeyneverjoe.bsky.social @acatwithnews.bsky.social @rickpaulas.bsky.social @melbuer.bsky.social @pplscitycouncil.bsky.social ... www.welcometohellworld.com/the-best-of-...

I'm so lucky to have been able to publish a great array of talented reporters and writers this year. Here's the best stuff they wrote for Hell World in 2025. Ft: @seantcollins.com @davidjroth.bsky.social @raxkingisdead.bsky.social @parkermolloy.com + ... www.welcometohellworld.com/the-best-of-...

Last night I went to a vigil for a 40 y/o man who died from exposure a few weeks after the cops raided his camp at 4 am and trashed his tent during the coldest November stretch in recent memory. So I’ll pass on writing about the council complaining about a DPW they won’t fund tyvm

Posting on here should be called “bleeting” like what a sheep does

Me and Katie boothing all day at the white eagle punk rock flea market come thru!!

Kohl's

ill be going to this later should be fun and hopefully if we're lucky a little soul restoring. My willingness to give a shit battery needs a charge lol

I soldered a radio from a kit and it freakin actually works lol. Jacks of all trade rise up!!!

Welp everything stayed the same

The only thing we should take away from today is bringing back this video.

Some scene from the recount today. Standing shoulder to shoulder for an hour with police-chief-turned-bergman-campaign-volunteer Steve Sargent was pretty funny lol www.worcestersucks.email/p/recount-we...

Kamara team could really use some more volunteers on hand. Candy brought her people to help moe lol bc of course. North high until 7:30 or so more info here www.worcestersucks.email/p/recount-we...

And awaaaay we go

Canceling Spotify has been so interesting, had no idea it would change my listening habits so much lol currently using my recorder like an iPod and freakin love it

Big fan of Shaun’s bad advice this week. @sirshaunconnolly.bsky.social For fans of the little known fact this city has voted down water flouridation every time it’s come up lol www.worcestersucks.email/p/what-would...

here we have the person who personally campaigned for charges against Etel (Thomas Duffy) being represented by the judge now presiding over Etel's case (Janet McGuiggan, former head litigator for Worcester!!). The naked corruption that goes on in this city is just crazy

POV you're telling the local cable news guy to be a little normal

If steve didnt preemptively block me from his page id comment "ask your mom" on this and it would do crazy numbers. I'm talking 12 likes easy. A clean 3:1 ratio

Hard to read something so ludicrous and not conclude they got to the judge. Worcester is a police city-state lol

I don’t have much else to say that other respected colleagues haven’t already said—simply that from where I’m standing, doing street journalism in LA and beyond, that elitist access journalism is a stain on the profession and we will all be better off when it finally hits the dirt

I get that we’re dealing with witch trial logic here so introspection is off the table, but hoooooow is the pursuit of this flimsy assault charge to a jury trial not prohibitively embarrassing for the brave men and women of the WPD

Etel Unbothered out here basically giving Moe Bergman a swirly on live TV I love it

Well this is straight up fucked huh? thisweekinworcester.com/exclusive-tr... (really good well sourced work here from this week in worcester @bigdaddyjohnjohn.bsky.social good job man)

Do I sue?

Really great accounting of the completely wild year @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social has had in the freakin NYT !! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/u...

HC apparently moved this to zoom but didn’t cancel it lol get outta here w this ice career fair bullshit. Go back to training future CIA lawyers

This is a metaphor for the nov 4 municipal election in Worcester Massachusetts

Just finished episode 45. As usual Etel speaks candidly - we should all absorb what she has to say! Thanks @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social and @billshaner.bsky.social

@billshaner.bsky.social @masspolwatch.bsky.social @telemundo52.com @wgbh.org

We were depleted, but thank you @billshaner.bsky.social for giving me a chance to shine light on all this. www.worcestersucks.email/p/episode-45...

If you're bummed on worcester and worcester politics right now i think you'll get an awful lot out of this interview with @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social i just put up. I know I sure did! www.worcestersucks.email/p/episode-45...

Here's some writing for Hell World from the good folks joining me at The Sinclair today (4pm) @billshaner.bsky.social Later he would complain "She's putting the baby in harm's way." A classic move: "harm" goes undefined because the harm is him. www.welcometohellworld.com/they-dont-ne...
