Americans should not be at risk of injury and death in mass shootings because people who want to do harm have easy access to weapons of mass destruction #mapoli#ctpolitics
A survivor of the Sandy Hook School mass shooting in 2012 is a student at Michigan State University: “I am 21-years-old and this is the second mass shooting I’ve lived through. We can no longer allow this to happen. We can no longer be complacent.”
A homeless shelter in a residential area #OnlyInRevere has the residents up in arms and they came out to a site plan review meeting to complain. As you can see here things got tense between attorney for the property Gerry D'Ambrosio and Councillor John Powers.#mapoli
"This is the biggest story in the world, and it must be spoken as far and wide as our voices can carry and much further still. Thank you for your support! I will not earn $ from this book as my copyright belongs to the Greta Thunberg Foundation-royalties go to charity" #mapoli
I’m so pleased to share that The Climate Book is now available in the USA and Canada! I have gathered the wisdom of over one hundred contributors to highlight the many different crises we face and equip us with the knowledge we need to avoid a climate disaster. 1/2
Kyle Rittenhouse killed two people with an AR-15 at a protest and was found not guilty of committing a crime. Here he is showing his gratitude that his life wasn't ruined by a conviction and loss of freedom #wiunion#wipolitics
Housing Court Judge Joseph Michaud—a former Dartmouth selectman and Republican candidate for state rep. who was sworn in by Gov. Baker in 2018—violated Mass. Code of Judicial Conduct when he made social media posts in 2020, says State Commission on Judicial Conduct #mapoli
@kyledcheney@joshgerstein@joshchafetz He can’t be an executive branch official when Congress wants to hear from him and a legislative branch official when the Justice Department wants to hear from him.
Former football coach trots out his anti-choice argument. Why here and now? Supreme Court repealed Roe and said they are leaving it to the states. While Texas and other states are suing to repeal a 22 year old FDA approval of mifiprestone #mapoli#nhpolitics#alpolitics#txlege
What are the health risks of the the chemicals released into the environment by the train wreck and the fire suppression? Seems like the public interest should not be relying on the railroad to be the one assessing health risk on a house to house basis #mapoli
Just so we’re all clear, the guy whose tweet about the train derailment/chemical leak has been retweeted more than 112,000 times is the same guy behind the anti-vax documentary Died Suddenly. His Twitter feed is a mix of anti-vax/bioweapons misinfo & satanic conspiracy theories.
After council vote tomorrow, fate of Boston’s right to vote for School Committee is in Mayor’s hands. Mayor said👇🏼she’d work w/Council. Has she? Will she?
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Boston 💕s an elected school committee,
Don’t ghost #bospoli voters,
please
Wu repeats she doesn't think it's time to restructure the school committee (which mayor appoints). Here's some background on Wu v voters when it comes for the prevailing desire to shift back to an elected school committee:

Gerry Callahan had the same reaction to this song being performed but he blamed the NFL Commissioner as if the Commissioner chooses the setlist. Apparently Gerry thinks the white people in charge should select the black performers' songs. #racialcastesystem#bospoli#mapoli
This is what democracy and homeless housing politics looks like.
The cost of housing in Mass. poses a housing problem. Opposition to homeless housing means people live outdoors. #bospoli

It took 10 days for Senator Hillbilly JD Vance to comment (ignorantly) about the train catastrophe in his state. But he was on the lookout for Chinese balloons.
You go to a protest and Trump tells you to march to the US Capitol and take your country back before you don't have a country anymore. So you unlawfully enter the US Capital and maybe commit other felonies. Should you be prosecuted for trying to overturn the election? #mapoli
DeSantis now says FL might ban ALL AP courses, all bc the College Board dared criticize the state's response to AP AfAm Studies. What a petty little child.
Notice white folks: this is why racism hurts you too in the end. He'll sacrifice your kids for political points.
