@EdforBoston Councilor, If you spent half as much time working on potential solutions as you do on criticism City residents could benefit from your ideas & contributions.

Truly morally sickening: that anyone should wish all of Ukraine to suffer the fate of Mariupol or Bucha. Russian occupation of Ukraine means random arrests, executions, concentration camps; the destruction of language and culture; mass kidnapping of children. All of these things have been documented in the occupied territories and continue to go on.

@EdforBoston One thing ranked-choice voting does is keeps candidates from being nasty and overwhelmingly negative because they want to avoid being way down on folks’ ballots.
Most people prefer vision & goals.

The Justice Department removed information about the January 6 insurrectionists from its website. @lawfare has preserved and posted it

This is why Russia is still fighting, why the war continues and why people are dying: Because Trump and Vance encouraged Putin to believe he could win

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than:

Tesla
Southwest
Disney
Live Nation
HP
United
PayPal
CVS Health
Palantir
Citigroup
PG&E
3M

That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax.

It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

Many thanks to @wbz for covering the injustice of #AllstonBrighton being the only neighborhood in Boston w/o a functioning @BCYFcenters.
Come have your say @ rally/protest at Jackson-Mann Tuesday 5:30!

The Trump administration is effectively ‘disappearing’ people on U.S. soil.

ICE is not providing accurate information on where people are detained.

Some people aren’t tracked for weeks. Some locations are wrong. Some people are deported before locations are put in the system.

I’m pushing for accountability.

[DB Reiff @DB4dignity]

Hoping to see you at Jackson Mann protest Tuesday @ 5:30 @ruthzee.bsky.social.

Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime

Isn’t it funny how Biden is out among everyday people, and NONE of the people actually meeting him are describing some confused old man?

They are describing someone humble, engaged, and fully present.
Doesn't match the bullshit media narrative, does it?

The press pushed that garbage. The loudmouths amplified it. The weak-minded bought it. And the country paid the price.

They should be shamed without mercy.

There must be accountability

One third of Americans

[60 Minutes @60Minutes]

About one third of Americans say they have skipped meals, borrowed money, or cut back on utilities to pay for health care. That's in a Gallup poll released in March. https://t.co/8i5qthAzSU

SCOOP: In the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington quietly removed from its website educational resources about American racism and canceled a workshop about the “fragility of democracy.”

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

ICYMI: A Republican sheriff in California seized over 650,000 ballots cast in last year’s voter-approved redistricting referendum.

Election lawyer Marc Elias explains how this fits into Trump’s plan to subvert the 2026 midterm elections.

This is all on Republicans in Congress.

Out!

Fucking outrageous. And highly illegal.

"Trump has grifted his entire life. Now he’s just taking it.

The State Department transferred $1.25 billion in foreign aid to Trump’s Board of Peace, pulling $1 billion from international disaster assistance, $200 million from peacekeeping operations, and $50 million from international organizations.

Money that Congress authorized for hurricanes and refugees, moved without a congressional vote, into a fund that Trump created by executive order and controls personally. When reporters asked the State Department about it, a spokesperson said they had nothing to announce at this time.

The Board of Peace has one defining characteristic. Trump controls it forever. He named himself chairman for life. No audits. No transparency requirements. No conflict of interest rules.

Countries pay $1 billion into a fund he runs to get a seat at the table. It has transferred nothing to Gaza, disclosed nothing about its spending, and received $1.25 billion of your disaster relief money without a word of explanation.

When he leaves the White House he keeps the fund. That is not a loophole. That is the design."

He’s Not Grifting Anymore. He’s Just Taking It. https://t.co/eYb5g4g9bR

@EdforBoston @BOSCityCouncil And Councilors must demonstrate professionalism, not victimhood or gotcha plays

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Millions of dollars are missing.

ABC, Paramount, X, and Meta all settled lawsuits by promising to donate millions to Trump's library fund.

Now, his initial library fund is gone.

Is the money in Donald Trump's pocket? I'm pressing for answers.
