A recently formed local pro-Israel group led the campaign against anti-apartheid ballot measures and has directly influenced a bill in the Vermont legislature that would consider criticism of Israel as illegal. Our piece on the Vermont Shalom Alliance: https://t.co/QuMTx41VsE

No bank executives arrested for laundering $670,000,000 in drug cartel money. But jump a turnstile and get arrested or shot for $2.90.

I mean, a more accurate headline would be “attorneys find no wrongdoing” but I guess that isn’t as clicky 🤷‍♂️ #btv #vtpoli #touchgrass

Meal trains not unethical & while you at @wcax are busy not holding our Governor accountable for actually misrepresenting important facts to the legislature...you instead pick on the 1st woman and out mayor of btv for meal trains? Seriously....you should be embarrassed.

RIP Chuck Roberts 💔

Songwriter, producer and vocalist Chuck Roberts has died aged 66.

Often labelled the “Voice of House Music”, Roberts is best known for his spoken-word sermon on Rhythm Controll’s 1987 track ‘My House’ — which starts with the iconic phrase “In the beginning there was jack”.

According to a statement, Roberts passed away “peacefully” at his home in Illinois on June 6 following a battle with cancer.

Among those to have paid tribute to Roberts is Terry Hunter, who shared the news on Facebook, writing: “I can’t believe I’m writing this! RIP Chuck The Voice Roberts!!!! In the Beginning There Was Jack!”

Mixmag visited Roberts in 2018 to record his inspiring sermon around New York, watch it below 🙏

Senator Sanders: “When we talk about college campuses, I want everybody to know there are no protests on college campuses in Gaza. You know why? Because every one of the 12 universities in Gaza has been bombed and destroyed.”

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

She meant it!!!! Hold her accountable the way we would “hold” a Republican accountable! Don’t make excuses for these folks regardless of political party!

It’s absolutely amazing how these folks can smear Black people and get away with it. Where. Is. The. Outrage?

@GovPhilScott Another day another whiney post that doesn't offer any real solutions or leadership.

@GovPhilScott While you sat around and did nothing. Your whiny posts are becoming exhausting. The only thing people know for sure what you will do is use your power to veto and that's not the way to lead.

@GovPhilScott This happened under your watch & now you act you care about. Where are your ideas outside of vetos, whiny posts & attacking the legislature?
