A retired policeman posted a Charlie Kirk meme. He spent a month in jail.
The 61-year-old Tennessee man plans to sue after authorities dropped charges over a political Facebook post. Free-speech advocates say it’s a symptom of a wider crackdown.

Campaign finance data is now available for Somerville ballot question 3. I was interested that the anti-ballot group running the campaign "Focus on Somerville" raised so much money from outside Somerville. They can tell Somerville what to do, but we can't care about broader issues?

This is similar to the myth that health conspiracism is driven by dissatisfaction with the American healthcare system. Countries with the best healthcare systems in the world also have very large anti-vaxx movements! In both cases the problem is more closely related to information environments.
The myth that racism is primarily driven by economic conditions must die, especially on the left. It is a misdiagnosis and a kind of excuse

Zohran wants universal childcare for everyone in this city and I hear people who NEED this asking 'OK but how will he pay for this?' I'm like 'bitch I haven't heard your ridiculous ass ask ONCE how the city is paying 11 BILLION A YEAR FOR COPS.' NOT ONCE. So damn demagogued.

The newly formed political group “Shalom Somerville” writes that their mission is “building an inclusive, respectful, and civil community,” but it really gives the game away when one of their top candidates refers to people like me as terrorists (for calling for a ceasefire.)

Deeply saddened by the Israeli Embassy staff deaths.
I'm reminded of Matt Nelson, who despaired about Gaza and self-immolated in Boston last fall. The press barely covered it.
Non-violent protests deserve attention. When people are despairing, we don't want them thinking non-violence is futile.

Horrific murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in the middle of DC. This kind of violence is illegal, immoral, inexcusable and of course - if the chant of ‘free Palestine’ by the alleged shooter is true - solves nothing and helps zero Palestinians.

Even by the highly problematic IHRA definition of antisemitism, none of the 5 Somerville cases in the ADL annual audit actually qualify as antisemitic incidents.
Is antisemitism really at an all-time high? Prof. Jeremy Menchik (@menchik.bsky.social, Boston University) exposes the flaws in the ADL’s latest audit, from inflated numbers to unreliable data.

This is what a rigged economy looks like:
In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.
In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.
This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.
