Today is the annual Dem Caucus in Natick. Once again I am running as a committed @edmarkey.bsky.social delegate. Sen. Markey works for, votes for, and supports the things I value. His energy is positive, infectious, and unflagging. I’m all in to reelect one of our most progressive leaders!
It doesn’t take a bullet for ICE to murder someone. Here is yet another asylum seeker detained by ICE who is now dead. Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal- normally healthy man in his early 40s dead within 24 hours of being detained. The list just keeps growing. www.nbcnews.com/world/asia/a...
Shame on @thehill.com for putting the word illegal in quotes in this headline. Do better! This action was illegal and you add to the maga ability to argue it was questionable when you do things like this!
Lives WERE lost. What kind of ugliness is in this man that he erases the existence of the 40 plus human beings murdered in this illegal action? And what he is saying about the complicity of media in this covert and unconstitutional attack is truly chilling. Which news outlets? Who colluded?
Rubio: "Frankly, a number of media outlets had gotten leaks that this was coming and held it for that very reason. And we thank them for doing that or lives could've been lost."
Oh. And Jesus Christ @schumer.senate.gov ! You “hope we can get our GOP colleagues to put a brake on this before it gets too far?“ What is wrong with you???? Just WTF do you consider “too far?”
Coast to coast, no matter your fame, income, race, faith, or culture, addiction impacts everyone. My heart goes out to the Reiners and their loved ones- there is a long, difficult road to healing and peace ahead. This is family trauma not news bites. addictionhelplineamerica.com/resources-fo...
I am disgusted with @people.com for racing to share this headline. Unsubstantiated. Not confirmed by law enforcement. Not arrested. This situation is traumatic enough. Is it possible? Yes. Should we be promoting hearsay for audience clicks? NO!
Here’s a link- the book is filled with interviews by many of the actors and production staff including Rob Reiner. And Rob does the forward as well. #robreiner #caryelwes #theprincessbride www.simonandschuster.ca/books/As-You...

Ok! Something to truly celebrate on this confusing and frustrating day! Supreme Court Declines to hear arguments revisiting Obergefell! #loveisloveislove #lgbtqia #lgbtq+ www.cnn.com/2025/11/10/p...
Heritage Foundation’s ongoing (and so far successful) effort to take over NH by recruiting young, conservative “libertarians” and getting to move to NH and run for office. They vote against school funding and social programs etc. Why isn’t this more in the news? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_St...
Re : Melissa. 30 years ago author John Barnes gave me nightmares with the novel “Mother of Storms” The causes were a bit different and the solution is unattainable but the impact on the population is similarly devastating. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_...
Ok @cnn.com You are really ok with posting a story that includes this line: "Barack Obama engaged in the “big dig” that retrofitted the Situation Room and dug out space under the West Wing for who knows whatever else." This reads like a 4th grader's C- essay. DO BETTER.
My favorite thing about the #FrogResistance is that we’ve reclaimed amphibians from that ugly incel-groyper-pepe thing. Hurray Portland and the world of tactical frivolity! bsky.app/profile/thet...

“It is fashionable among elites now to frame the majority of people as “NPCs,” or non-player characters, in the parlance of video games: unthinking, sheeplike, atomized automatons. “ A gut punch because it is true in all aspects of our lives now, not just jobs. www.thecut.com/article/job-...

This is what retirement looks like! Betsy and I are spending our first week of NOT-teaching standing up for the constitution and our neighbors. Also ran into my friend @suzbrockmann.bsky.social and her husband, Ed. indivisible-ma.org/bearing-witn...
I need help if anyone is techy- good at sourcing video. A fb acquaintance is sharing the following video from a group called Lexit. I am positive it’s altered- certainly the sound has been added. He’s riling up anti-Arab sentiment. I want to counter. Thx www.facebook.com/share/v/1Hg2...
Even a stopped clock…. Coke currently uses high fructose corn syrup which is way worse than sugar for your body. Fast food restaurants exist and people will eat there. This is the kind of change we talk about when comparing our food here to European food. www.bbc.com/news/article...
It’s always more complicated than a sound bite. Facts for when you’re arguing with 0AN watchers: yes Trump HAD to destroy 500 tons of food aid- it’s expiring. Why? Because he fired all of the USAID employees who would have made sure it was distributed! amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/07/...
