    A junior at a local Boston high school wrote this poem. Regardless of how you feel about and gun reform, please take a minute to read it. This is how our children feel right now. This is what keeps them up at night.

    Serious vulnerabilities in our elections systems have been exposed. Even with stronger cybersecurity, the reality is these systems can be hacked. We must counter those vulnerabilities. Voter-verified paper ballot/paper back-ups are a commonsense way to hack-proof our elections.

  11. Supreme Court rules immigrants can be detained without bond. Need to publicize the reality of the ICE detention camps. Have to fight inhumane treatment of so many vulnerable people on so many fronts these days.

    6 in 10 Americans oppose defense increases. But only 8 Senate Democrats voted against Trump’s huge military increases. We can make every college & university free instead. Dems will only deserve victory if we have the guts to offer an alternative vision!

  17. See story below re GOP/NRA gun legislation allowing conceal carry, silencers & more - delayed only because of horrific mass shootings. PLEASE DEMAND Congress drop those bills, pass ban on assault weapons & common-sence gun legislation!
