Owner of hyper-local news at HollistonReporter.com I took over in 2023 because I believe local news matters for democracy. We cover local government.

The videos and stories of people not being able to feed their children, grandchildren, or themselves break my heart and crush my soul. If you don’t feel the same way or are indifferent to it, I don’t have any use for you and neither does humanity. #FundSnapNow

❤️ if you think Kimmel and Colbert need to start their own podcasts immediately to amplify the resistance so the truth can be made loud and clear and we can take back the House and Senate come 2026 midterms.

In John F. Kennedy’s Profiles in Courage, he described some of the pressures that require courage from politicians. Working against your party or your constituents demands conviction. But viewed another way, we can start to see ways to move those who lack that fortitude. (Thread)

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

Trump cannot unilaterally end collective bargaining for federal workers. We know when people organize and collectively bargain, wages go up, and working conditions improve. We will fight this decision in the courts and in Congress. Unions make America strong.

There's a reason Trump hates Marc Elias - he's literally distributing very important information (in an accessible way) that is normally ignored or glossed over by most media.

Another reminder tonight that MAGA’s ONLY ideology is devotion to Trump. When Trump said let’s extricate America from the rest of the world, focus on home, no more wars, no nation-building, MAGA cheered. But now Trump says let’s take over Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal, & Gaza. And MAGA cheers.

BREAKING: Trump will hold off on Mexican Tariffs as Mexico places 10k troops to Border.
FACTS:
- Mexico already has 15k troops along the border
- 90% of fentanyl seizures occur at U.S. ports of entry
- U.S. citizens comprise 86% of fentanyl trafficking convictions
This is POINTLESS

There are 550 FEMA staff on the ground in LA and nearly 3,000 still helping NC and FL recover from Helene/Milton. As climate change makes US disasters more frequent, Trump, echoing Project 2025, wants to limit FEMA's role and put more onus on states/cities. By @zhirji.bsky.social (gift link)

The agency is currently juggling the response to more than 100 major disasters nationwide.

Read this!!! 👇👇👇. You're being gaslighted AGAIN
Deportation flights never stopped. The Biden Admin deported about 1 million people per year. Republicans never talked about that because it didn’t fit their narrative, and Democrats never talked about it because they feared it would anger part of their base. So ignorance ruled.

Donald Trump rescinded Biden's action to lower prescription drug costs for Americans on Medicare and Medicaid.
There's no other way to spin it. That means more money out-of-pocket for seniors and families.
Big Pharma first. Ordinary people last.
