Empire Managers Invent Fake Threats So We Won't Fight The Real Monsters They make up imaginary ghouls and goblins lurking around every corner because they don’t want us looking up and seeing the real bastards who are poisoning our world. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/empire-man...

imagine giving a shit about this. a fuckin parallel universe. America B.

Today is a great day to elevate your class consciousness. Spread the word.

Devastating news about the SJC ruling on rent stabilization. Renters are definitely on the continuous losing end. And they will feel it. Housing production won’t, in the short-term, stop rents from going up. And corporate investors will thrive flipping properties & displacing more residents.

1. what the fuck dude I hate massachusetts 2. i hope the rent control campaign carefully investigates who it was internally that advocated for the religious exemption in the first place and the reasons they gave. This has sabotage written all over it

There are no words. Well, there are, but <redacted>. #libcomix

Seth Moulton and the other Republican are debating each other tomorrow night on @wbztv.bsky.social @wbznewsradio.bsky.social disallowing the only candidate actually currently on the ballot from participating.

Remember folks- you don’t have to choose between Moulton or Markey. @wbznewsradio.bsky.social @wbztv.bsky.social why aren’t you letting Tache onto the debate stage? He’s on the ballot. Your fascist complicity is showing. www.tache4ma.com?utm_content=...

TIL the worcester county sheriff has a non-profit named worcester county sheriff civil process division llc staffed by the same sheriff's deputies that are in the regular office, accounting partly for the ~$3 million annual revenue they aren't reporting, according to new ig report. Literal mafia lol

Wow. Great report by @billshaner.bsky.social. Really astonishing the level of shadiness in the WCSO. www.worcestersucks.email/p/the-sherif...

How long before this gets deleted lol

On technology via THE Johnny JR Robins in his new memoir Thirst. I just feel like it’s something to be shared.

"Never before have so many families in the U.S. lived without stable housing, according to the most recent data from the Department of Housing and Urban Development." hechingerreport.org/school-parki...

fuck landlords, man. Neighbors' LL is replacing their 50 year old stoves and now jacking the rent another $300/mo. all three families have to move. none of them can afford to stay in Worcester. it sucks.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

WPS parents and staff- PLEASE SIGN! And share. I worked in an WPS elementary school- they are on screens well over an hour a day. It’s gross. I witnessed days of 2+ hours.

In my post this week I broke down why the council’s budget approval process isn’t worth paying any attention to because it’s fake and everyone involved knows it lol

We *know* that AI products like ChatGPT cause harm. Just like we *know* fossil fuel companies are responsible for climate change, pollution, and premature deaths. And yet these are both industries the US government, across state and federal levels, keeps trying to protect from any liability.

So our city councilors are asking for the train schedule? Let me Google that for you: www.mbta.com/schedules/CR... And content.amtrak.com/content/time...

Part 2 of a series: The Worcester City Council ended resident petitions in 2025 due to "important city business" while meeting less than any year since before 2007.

New hoodie, who dis

Worcester officials immediately jump to “we gotta have more housing”. They’re ready to sacrifice environmental & consumer protection regulations to fall in line. Yet, no attention to tenant protections, anti-displacement measures, zoning. Bcs middle/low income tenants don’t count.

Excellent statement by: Worcester Affordable Housing Coalition, Neighbor to Neighbor, Progressive Worcester and NAACP.

$1.4 in Tax exemptions + $2.5 in state subsidies, gets a Worcester resident $2,970 month rent for a 2bd apartment. wbjournal.com/article/worc...

Also. These buildings just all look alike. Let’s do more restoration. Buildings up to code etc etc.

Mayor Petty coming out against rent control & the specialized stretch code, in addition to the responsible development ordinance. Here he is committing to @progressivemass.bsky.social yes on Rent Stabilization & adopting the Specialized Stretch code. www.progressivemass.com/wp-content/u...

The truth is that Worcester is building units, some units. But the majority of the people living in them likely aren’t the very people who keep our city running, that keep our kids educated, the ones who keep our home-grown restaurants running, the ones who take care of the elderly and the sick.

Among Healey's 32 District Court nominees, "18 (56 percent) come from law enforcement backgrounds, almost all former assistant district attorneys. Just three (9 percent) come from legal services backgrounds, meaning institutional public defenders or legal aid attorneys. That is a ratio of 6 to 1."

Why does this happen? Two candidate mechanisms: 1) AI resets your reference point for how long things "should" take. Unaided work suddenly feels harder than it actually is, -- a kind of hedonic adaptation. 2) AI removes the productive struggle through which you learn what you're capable of.

Is Trump pretending he won a “deal”? Will Israel comply? Should we view a guy who threatened genocide the same as a guy who would do it? And as the world sees the US with disgust, how do we view ourselves, and each other — whether you voted for Trump or not?

Reframe your thinking from "this evil man must be stopped" to "the system that created and stands behind this evil man must be stopped." Notice how no one in a position of power, including the Democratic leadership, is stopping this though. Meaning they all want it.

Talking my own advice and talking to people at work about a general strike.

Yes. We all need to be talking about this. You are not crazy. Coworkers, family, at the coffee shop- BRING IT UP. We need everyone to help stop this. Calls to Congress aren’t going to work. We need to shut the country down.

It’s going to take more than a tweet Congressman. We just withhold our labor. We need to shut it all down. You and all your pals need to be on national television telling everyone to strike.

Thanks for at least posting about this, Senator. But don't say "whatever the hell this is." It's GENOCIDE. And you have to do more. I don't care that you're in the minority. Think bigger. Call for a general strike. Get every D senator to chain themselves to the White House gates. SOMETHING.

Congress isn’t going to save anyone. We need to shut it down. May 1 is too far out but it’s better than the NOTHING any of us are doing right now. Start spreading the word- talk with your unions and coworkers. It’s only going to happen if we make it happen.

@warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov @moulton.house.gov @repmcgovern.bsky.social @repauchincloss.bsky.social

If Congress had any strength at all, they'd remove this man. Now. Today. Before another country decides they have to do it.

is it me or is this the most blatant propaganda ever written
