Still devastated. Still furious. We need progress in this city, every single day, until the sun burns out. Yes, the not-so-rapid response is better but so much more to do there and everywhere. And should put a big boulder in that space (pic 1). #demandmorelouisadid #bostonlagging #timetoactmayorwu

Regular reminder that it’s now and always: NO to #tangerineklannolini NO to #projectklan3.0 NO to immigration gulags NO to ICE NO to ethnic cleansing NO to war crimes and illegal wars NO to the entirety of the wingnut regime, root and branch

Regular reminder that @streets.boston.gov can’t ever afford to lose another single square inch of our better walking/biking/transit infrastructure. We need to install much, much more of it, both quick build & permanent, as fast as humanly possible. #nomoreexcuses #bostonlagging #demandbetter

Ding ding fucking ding.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

25 October 1944 | The administration of KL Dachau transferred to Auschwitz a group of 1,024 Jewish prisoners who were sick and unable to work. 4 prisoners died at the station before the transport departed. Most probably, the whole group was murdered in the gas chambers right after their arrival.

Drivers haven't killed anyone in Somerville's "corridor of death" since 2021, and the number of driver-inflicted injuries in the area has declined nearly 80 percent since 2021, according to MassDOT crash data. mass.streetsblog.org/2026/10/22/e...
