Here's the swing in the 2016 U.S. presidential election in MA by precinct. College educated, upper income Romney-Clinton voters are clearly identifiable in the Boston suburbs. Obama-Trump voters dominate in rural western Mass and working class cities on the Southcoast. #mapoli

In Mamdani’s NYC, we’re all family, don’t believe the lies

Lander alongside Mamdani: “As a proud Jewish New Yorker, I will join you in that fight to end occupation and apartheid and genocide.”

Platner: Susan Collins said she would only serve two terms. She's now running for her sixth. She has worked in politics longer than Joe Biden. She hasn't held a town hall since I was in eighth grade. I've held 83 town halls in the past eight months. What are you trying to hide?

I sort of love that these signs accidentally imply that this is America’s last year

It’s cool how this election has a 1:1 correlation of how nice a place is to live in

Mamdani and AOC splitting up the NYC-DSA slate ensures that all the DSA candidates can put a famous face on their flyers (well, except for Blackburn) while minimizing the potential political backlash for Mamdani and AOC: https://t.co/Ym88v7n44w

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

@jacobin Shows signs of life? The bill has only 5 cosponors, and Democrats are in the minority in both chambers of the Georgia legislature. Both federal House and Senate Medicare for All bills have more cosponsors. Not much of a story here - just another bill that’s going nowhere fast.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.

Meanwhile, just down I-90: the W.E.B. Du Bois Library at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The tallest academic library in the world. Unlike what they do at Harvard or MIT, it is named for a scholar, not a donor.
