Public school teacher. Holder of lukewarm opinions. Chief inspector in my house for things that aren't closed all the way (lids, doors, potato chip bags) so I can righteously yell at my children.

In Texas visiting family, where state law now requires 6-8 foot fences that cannot be scaled around the schools. So, it's summer and kids can't play on the schools' fields/playground. It also required me to verify my age to login to... Bluesky?

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Love a bunch of silver-spooned losers that never worked a day in their life in the service industry explaining to the rest of us what 86 means. Fuck all the way off.

How many brown skinned folks are going to be shot by the new ICE-TSA force when they reach in their pockets to put their phone and loose change in the bin?

Googled "Where did David Foster Wallace live in Somerville" because my son, a HS senior in Somerville, just read it (at my suggestion) and says it's his new fav. book. And the first hit was @ryanhwalsh.bsky.social (who I;ve also suggested & he loves), so I may have reached peak cool dad. Thanks Ryan

Was on a plane tonight with every teenage club volleyball player in the greater Boston area. Another sentence I never could have imagined writing for the first 46 years of my life.

“My name is Matthew James! I’m a United States citizen! You’re gonna kill me! Is that what you want?” ICE isn’t about immigration. It’s about violence, fear and control.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

The Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.

Maybe the @nytimes.com could put a little more coverage to the fact that a city is being completely (illegally) terrorized by our president's personal fucking good squad? Or is that not "News that's fit to print"? #NewYorkTImes #Minnesota

If you need a whistle in Somerville, stop by Gracie’s. If you need A LOT of whistles that’s probably ok too.

Yesterday I tried to put everything I knew about whistles—where to get them, where to get instruction sheets, how to distro—into one place so you can build off it for your own community's whistle needs: dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

This morning at 11am, corner of Hathorn and Broadway in Somerville MA. 3 ICE vehicles idling on nearby corners. I was following two ICE cars that were cruising around the neighborhood. This person was just walking down the sidewalk when two ICE vehicles stopped and officers jumped out to stop him.

Information environment has reached its grotesque conclusion in that there is a very real killer out there who has not been identified, apprehended, or investigated, a detail practically inconsequential to nearly every commentator’s purposes.

Just a reminder that Kash raised money for January 6 rioters, including co-producing a benefit single in which incarcerated rioters sing the national anthem while Trump recites the pledge of allegiance.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Imagine proposing a system that would serve every kid in this country (no exceptions), fully fund 13 years of nearly year-round support, employ trained professionals to lead the work, and seek to produce a wide range of positive outcomes--from academic preparation to self-actualization. We have it.

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to. This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented. So ICE took her into custody. The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck. "I can't breathe."

They’ll pressure a NATO ally to release a sex trafficker and racketeer but they won’t pressure a tiny dictatorship to return a man it’s holding on our behalf, who they admit they sent there by accident

Email this morning currently making me throw things: "I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out given the recent market volatility. While fluctuations like this can be unsettling and cause concern for many, it’s also a natural part of the market cycle. Should you have any questions..."
