Recently a local paper published a piece on a City Council candidate that reads more like a campaign press release than reporting, without clearly labeling it as such.
A news piece on the candidate would at least mention he's a board member of a group that sued the city to rip out bike lanes.

In addition to being at the forefront of the urbanist/YIMBY movement, Burhan is one of the kindest, most thoughtful officials I have ever met. Please donate to his campaign if you can: secure.actblue.com/donate/commi...

Burhan has been at the forefront of Cambridge's recent progress on housing, e.g expanding the Affordable Housing Overlay and ending exclusionary zoning city-wide. He needs our support to continue this work in the next council term!

Iβve got my strategy for the next 2 years.
We canβt stop the admin and weβre certainly not able to undo their harm.
But we can be roadblocks. From filibustering to suing to protesting at every over reach.
We need to SLOW THEM DOWN.
We need to make it through so we can rebuild after.

SAVE Act: House Passes GOP Voting Bill That Could Disenfranchise Millions

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a major voter suppression measure that, if it became law, could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine U.S. democracy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This should be a wake up call for all the βtake Trump seriously but not literallyβ people.
He literally wants tariffs even if they cause economic harm.
He literally supports Putin over Ukraine.
He literally wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
And he literally wants to run for a 3rd term.

Harvard is facing an existential crisis. The Trump administration is blackmailing them and need a community that's willing to stand with them and that's willing to fight.
This is a battle for the soul of Harvard.
