Vance on judge's ruling that admin must fully fund SNAP:

"The president and the entire administration are working on that, but we’re not going to do it under the orders of a federal judge. We’re going to do it according to what we think we have to do to comply with the law."

BREAKING: The Massachusetts Senate passed the Massachusetts Data Privacy Act S.2608, which would provide strong privacy protections for us all; including a complete ban on sale of sensitive data.
MassEquality and our fellow advocates applaud this action to protect our democracy and personal safety!

When the government forces a television network to take a late night comedian off the air because he made comments that the president didn’t like, we no longer live in a democracy.

This weekend, I was proud to work with my friends at @baystatestonewall.bsky.social to ensure that the new MassDems platform included language to protect LGBTQ+ people. In this moment in time we cannot afford to take our rights and safety for granted.

There are many things that concern me about last night’s missile attack on Iran…but let’s make certain that the powers that be don’t use this as a distraction technique so that we stop fighting against this administration’s horrific domestic policy priorities

I can confidently say that after knowing Etel for more than a decade that she has the kind of character and courage that many people talk about but very few exhibit when the chips are down. She is not the villain in this story.

1,461 arrests made in monthlong immigration crackdown in Mass. High-ranking federal law enforcement officials gathered in Boston to present the results of an "immigration enforcement surge" in Massachusetts.

This is a call to action for the Mass Legislature. www.wcvb.com/article/immi...

Last Thursday, I received an In-Service Award from MTPC. It’s really hard to express my joy and appreciation, because it feels prideful & because fighting for the rights of transgender people is just what you’re supposed to do as a human…

So, I’ve been really excited about getting into a Kung Fu studio again…but I also know that I wasn’t great at it in my twenties and I imagine that it will be way harder now with my 50 year old knees. That said, Kung Fu is for everyone.

Open Town Meeting is the rural New Englanders equivalent to Palm Sunday Mass…except that instead of yelling “crucify him” at Jesus, we’re yelling it at our neighbors

Shoutout to the 9 people who voted against paying off $110 in old debt from last year.

As someone who plays multiple instruments, I used to think that the keytar was the perfect instrument because you could dance while you played keyboards. As I have gotten older, I now lean towards lap steel because it’s a guitar that you can play with no expectation of ever standing up…

My screensaver is a random selection of photos that I’ve taken at work. Today I am sharing my joy at the irony of the drag queen story hour protesters holding up a picture of Jesus, wearing a dress, reading to children.

WWJD? Wear a dress and read to kids…

Excerpt from the linked story

Remember when the WH insisted that global HIV prevention & treatment was exempt from the freeze? When it seemed MAYBE they understood that cutting off medicine could put the entire planet at risk of drug resistant HIV strains?

Wrong. Elon Musk’s interns were simply shutting payments off manually.
