Tonight, the Governorโ€™s Mansion is lit purple in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Every person deserves to feel safe in their own home. To the survivors out there who may be reading this: You are brave. You are not alone. And weโ€™re here to support you.

AI perhaps offers us a really great opportunity if we choose to take it. The one thing it produces is cliche. In order to resist it, we must declare a war on cliche. We must make our language and remake it. Our visual imagination should be shaken up and strive for the shock of the new.

Today the Free Information Group, PLLC, celebrates our first anniversary! In our first year of suing the government we've opened or appeared in 17 lawsuits against the Trump Administration and one noteworthy case against DC.

This man won his primary by 30 points.

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We donโ€™t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect themโ€”and all of our neighborsโ€”because trans rights are human rights.

In my opinion Democrats get nothing nothing NOTHING by betraying trans people. They hurt themselves with a good deal of their committed voter base, and still donโ€™t get the Republican votes they are so fucking obsessed with winning over. Lose-lose! People hate voting for squishy moral cowards!!
