No Views, No Hikes, Just Zzzs: Welcome to the Sleepcation For these travelers, the ultimate vacation luxury isn’t a nice view—it’s a mattress.

I know we're not short of signs that things have gone very very wrong, but here's another:

Welsh erasure.

Absolutely beautiful.

Moronic for many reasons. How's the traffic going to be on Boylston outside the Chick-fil-a if only cars can do delivery?..

I immediately knew this was the work of Ed Flynn.

It's not about pedestrian safety, it's about a culture war against bikes and forcing everyone to drive.

How's the traffic going to be on Boylston outside the Chick-fil-a if only cars can do delivery, @edflynnforboston.bsky.social ??

Utterly ludicrous 😡

some of the key findings: biking in Cambridge has increased by 250% between 2004 and 2024, with a 283% increase in the number of kids biking between 2014 and 2024. But the bike network has only increased 128% in size.

for all the Worcester bike lane Opponents: build it and they will come

For sure! I was just wondering if I must've gone right past you or something =)

I had to head out after the first hour. Sounds like it was good for the second hour too!

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

Street 1: $450k

The fact that the only group in the world they deem worthy of asylum are white South Africans should be a pretty big clue.

Unhinged unaccountable fascist thugs.

Federal Agents Arrest Don Lemon Over Minnesota Church Protest

Sadly yes

We're at the arresting journalists stage.

Absolutely. I totally disagree with his politics but it's surprising and almost unique to see a Republican with any kind of spine and principles.

Exactly right

I can’t stand Rand Paul but I’ll give him a at least a bit of credit for being pretty consistent about calling out when his own side are doing things that disagree with his principles.

“In theater”

Fuck these assholes treating it like a war against their own citizens.

And you don’t care that it makes things massively worse? Like, manchin losing that election would’ve meant no KBJ on the Supreme Court and no hope of recovering a sane majority. And probably none of the legislation that Biden passed like the IRA etc.

So, just to be clear, if you were in West Virginia and had to choose to vote for Manchin or whoever the Republican was for senate, you’d vote third party or not vote?

Saying I hate him but prefer him to a Republican who’s objectively worse is “giving him props”?

The centre and left are fractured into way too many parties. It might be possible to win with 30% far right support under FPTP now. 🤢

I hate manchin but he’s *absolutely* the best case scenario from WV.

The alternative is a Republican who wouldn’t have voted for KBJ or the IRA, for eg.

It sucks but it’s the system we have.

That’s why I say advocate for system change as opposed to cutting off your nose to spite your face.

That’s another aspect of our stupid system which is that the senate grants way to much power to right leaning small states. So if you want 50+ senators you’re going to have to compromise way more than you’d like to.

1/

(If you're in Maine or Alaska, just rank the Democrat above the Republican, or preferably just leave the Republicans off your ballot)

It's a stupid system, but it's the one we have.

If you want to do something productive, then advocate for electoral reform in your state, like the ranked choice voting that Maine and Alaska have.

Under our current system, vote Blue no matter who.

Complete Streets redesign of Worcester's Newton sq / Highland st meeting on Feb 11th 6pm-8pm at Doherty High.

That section really needs a redesign and Complete streets principles are exactly what should be used.

Head over to support!

I mean, you’d think the *chair* of the judicial committee of “the world’s greatest deliberative body” might have some idea.
