In #SalemMA we love our neighbors, no matter where you’ve come from, how long you’ve lived here, who you love, or how you identify yourself.
Our values & our commitment to one another- to be a beacon, and a place that works for & welcomes all -is unwavering, no matter the tides.
This afternoon I sat down with #SalemMA’s first Poet Laureate, J.D. Scrimgeour, to talk about his work and how we can use his new role, which commences January 1st, to celebrate our community and the artistry of the written word.

Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)
To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!
As of yesterday, I have decided to resign from my role as a columnist for The Washington Post — a newspaper that I love. In a moment like this, everyone needs to make their own decisions. This is the reasonfor mine. 🧵

Thrilled to announce J.D. Scrimgeour as #SalemMA’s first Poet Laureate! This honorary role celebrates our city’s rich literary history and highlights an individual whose work in the written word enriches our community.
#SalemMA isn’t a theme park - we’re a real city and the people who live and work here love our community.
To our thousands of visitors: help us keep Salem magical this October!
If you’re planning to drive to #SalemMA you’re planning to have an unhappy day. ☹️
Parking is severely limited & expensive - congestion will be significant. We have increased & cheaper trains, as well as expanded ferry service from Boston & So. Shore.

In the first half of October #SalemMA had 666k visits downtown, 6.3% increase over last year.
If that holds we’ll welcome 184k this weekend. Salem has 4k public parking spaces, so do the math. Take the train or ferry, have a plan, & pack your patience.
