STOP THE GENOCIDE

you can't get out the vote or show up to protest or bake your neighbor a casserole if you're laid up by long COVID. you can do all of those things while wearing an n95. we simply do not HAVE to hand it to disease.

This is why you really don't need to post through it in situations like this. Much of the initial reporting is based on scant details and your mind starts filling in gaps as a matter of habit. My personal rule is news folks who deal in speculation in times like this are never to be trusted again.

as an elder millennial Bill is the first president I was meaningfully aware of and I will be first in line to throw him directly under the bus

You have 6 votes for At-Large City Councilor. You don’t have to vote for 6. This election will determine which 12 of the 14 candidates advance to the general election.

Anas Al-Sharif was one of the most remarkable reporters of his generation. For 673 days, he defied Israeli threats to kill him. Al Jazeera now confirm their crew in Gaza City have all been assassinated: RIP reporters Anas Al-Sharif & Mohammed Qareqea and cameramen Ibrahim Zaher & Mohammed Nofal

kennedy is going to kill a lot of people

Saw this on a light pole two minutes ago.

We should have agreed to this ages ago, “The Tuvalu prime minister also said that his country supports the idea of a Fossil Fuels Non-Proliferation Treaty with “the ultimatum of a rapid, fair and irreversible phase out of fossil fuels across all sectors.”

Proud to have Etel as my city councilor.

I really don't know how to process the fact that so many powerful people are still, STILL silent about this. So many people with the money and platform to make a huge difference to the lives of starving children are simply choosing not to. www.mohammedmhawish.com/p/were-starv...

This just looks like a cyberdog. Terrifying. #DoctorWho

I work on a farm and have Medicaid as do many other farmers. Two weeks ago, MassHealth paid for my stitches after I cut my hand while harvesting. Not that access to healthcare should be attached to productivity or citizenship but this statement doesn't even reflect the agricultural reality.

[catching up on andor] mm, glad this happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, because it would be kinda a bummer in our galaxy in the present

raise your hand if you're not in NYC but you're following the mayoral election out of a desperate need to believe that good things are possible

I’ll repeat.

The Worcester City Council meeting on Tuesday, June 10th, started late, and was soon interrupted by anti-ICE protestors. Police made no arrests.

We are past the point where we need clarity from the MA governor on what she’s going to do if Homeland Security tries to call up our National Guard.

The WPD waited a month to charge someone w/ assault on a police officer?! And they want us to believe this is isn’t retaliatory bullshit? Etel’s integrity and compassion is a model for us all.

really nice job on what is ostensibly a sports article, as Milford volleyball played without their teammate last night

tbqh it's not even too late to start masking half-assedly, and i mean this sincerely. you don't have to be 100% perfect about masking for it to help yourself and others.

Israeli airstrike kills nine of Gaza doctor’s 10 children, reports say

Part of the reason I wanted to highlight Kelvin’s story is because he’s not the perfect immigrant. His narrative isn’t linear and he’s made mistakes like all of us. But he’s a good man with a family who loves him. He’s the kind of person I want in my community.

This is how much Congress, in a bill the House passed this morning, proposes to spend _just to hold migrants in detention_ over the next 4 1/2 years. From this new WOLA explainer: bit.ly/2025-05-wola...

What does Joe Petty think assisting ICE means? I'm seriously asking that. #WorcPoli

Sarai Rivera's public comments to Worcester City Council is making me miss her thoughtful, compassionate leadership when she was a City Councilor. So many of those in the position currently fall so short.

Some context for people discovering Worcester (pronounced woosta) and our police force who I have numerous stories of had the DOJ come out with a scathing report about their misconduct and civil rights violations. Maybe now we can do something about it #mapoli www.justice.gov/archives/opa...

For anyone that has been planning to speak out re: the DOJ Report & Shotspotter Councilor Toomey's WEDNESDAY Public Safety Meeting has been changed to VIRTUAL ONLY.

For @pastemagazine.bsky.social, I wrote about that fantastic fourth wall breaking moment in #DoctorWho's "Lux" and all the ways this franchise understands that its most important elements aren't fictional at all.
