Jamaica Plain. More govt than poli. Hasn’t always been like that. Progressive. Still licking my wounds, but ready to work. Boston teams (esp Sox) plus Oregon Ducks.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

ICE is perpetuatating violence against protesters in order to instigate violence *from* protesters.

Stay strong out there. Stay peaceful. Stay disciplined. Show the joy of a community working together even as we feel anger and pain.

Give ICE no justification for these invasions.

Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”

This message hits hard.

I’m with you he’s an obvious HOFer. But Sox fans won’t forgive him for ending Pedrioa’s career. I’m sure he didn’t mean to do that. But he also didn’t appear to care if that was the result of his recklessness.

Please for a moment think about if there was a Jewish candidate for NYC Mayor, how much time would a debate spend on questions on whether or not they will keep Muslims safe?

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

First, they came for John Bolton
And I did speak out
Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache,
I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.

In the recent Billy Joel documentary, Joel notes that at a certain age he stopped writing new songs because his creative mind didn't work as well as it once did. AI: what is the most popular song written by someone age 50+.' Response: Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah.

Anyone have a better answer.

OMG no idea why this landed in my feed. But I first heard this joke 40 years ago and thought it was hilarious. Exact same joke except the Welsh farmer was an Israeli kibbutznik farmer.

Brad Lander, Unfiltered and Unplugged He didn't win the Democratic mayoral primary… but he won a lot of New Yorkers' hearts.

"They lit $20 million on fire, and all it did was boost Zohran's numbers. And in no small part because they corrupted their own souls by supporting a person they know to be a corrupt, abusive asshole. What are they gonna do now?"

@bradlander.bsky.social, the man you are.

I would totally say give the MF a Nobel Piece Prize as a condition for him resigning effective immediately. Acknowledge the Vance issue but we can get to that next.

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.”

Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing?

There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?
