If Josh Kraft cared about Boston or its people he would stand with @MayorWu & tell the AG that the President’s masked muggers are not welcome here, that immigrants are part of our history & our community.
He didn’t. He doesn’t.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

It’s what she does.
And, if the Globe doesn’t report it, she pays no price.

Trump on moving World Cup games from Boston: "We could take them away. Your mayor is not good."

Hey Boston, I wonder what return on investment the Kraft family expects from their donations to Frank Baker.
(Especially since none of the #Krafts actually live in Boston anymore)

The biggest threat to America isn't Antifa, it's Stephen Miller, Russell Vought (Project 2025) and NAR (New Apostolic Reformation).

Does anyone else feel that everything would be much better if we just streamlined a path to citizenship for these folks?
Our country does benefit by having more workers.

And use diplomatic efforts to influence refugee countries to improve situations for migrants in their home country.

I’m not a Mainer either.
But, Mills has stood up to Trump in public and won.
Platner had zero gov experience.
That matters

President Zelenskyy at the NATO Parliamentary Assembly annual session:

Putin can be forced into peace - just like any other terrorist. By stopping Russia now, you [Europeans] are not only helping us protect our lives - you are helping yourselves. Russia must lose.

This is a searing read from @donmoyn.bsky.social
about Trump’s growing war on America.

“The Trump administration… wants a government that rules by fear, where we cannot even question the masked and armed gunman that invade our neighborhoods.”

• Purge - eliminating those deemed not to be aligned with Trump.
• Merge - combine different components into a single omniforce.
• Surge - impose Trump's control over Democratic cities; instigate enough unrest to justify escalation; find examples to brutalize and tamp down any dissent.

Does anyone feel as free to post their opinions since Trump was elected? Not a niggling worry about some consequence?

Join millions of Americans October 18th to make your voice heard.

⚡️ A year after relearning to walk following a Russian attack, a Ukrainian journalist ran 10K.

Ukrainian journalist Olha Zvonarova, who learned to walk again after being severely wounded in a Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia, has just completed 10 kilometers at the Kyiv Marathon of Resilience.

Pure manipulation that this was written such that any councilor who didn’t vote to support it would be charged with not supporting BPD.
If not for activists, all elections would depend only on $$.
Something no Americans want.
fortpointer.bsky.social
A co-sponsor of this week’s Council resolution supporting BPD, writes, “It's long past time for elected officials to stop worrying about activists & support our BPD families.”

The resolution passed unanimously.

Every elected condemned the violent activists. Why sow division?

We must take our country back to the people away from these violent forces.

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

everything is on fire these days, sure, but how is it that 50% of all news stories are not about how I just spent $20 on a bag of store brand coffee at fucking costco

Adventures in framing:

Headline presenting this as a real-world question. Rather than as another sign of deepening vortex of narcissistic delusion and detachment from reality.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

I have never ever ever understood why TV/pool reporters let people get away with this. Why is not there a follow of: you haven't followed the biggest story of the day, really? WTF are you doing? and...I'm going to interview your CoS/press people to see if they talked to you about it?

I love how Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House and #2 in line for the presidency, is always like, “What? News?! I never read or hear anything that happens in the world, anywhere. I’m totally offline. What even is ‘social media’? They play news all day on TV!? Wow! That’s a surprise!”

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

After a nearly five-hour congressional oversight hearing, Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared as the “president’s loyalist rather than as a constitutional officer with the appropriate respect for a coordinate branch of government,” Quinta Jurecic argues:
Pam Bondi, Loyal Servant
At a congressional oversight hearing yesterday, the attorney general followed her north star: pleasing the president.

The alignment of far right politicians with billionaire tech bros is at play.
The op ed is an illustration of why so many subscribers left the WashPo and so many journalists left the newspaper in disgust and dismay over what happened to a revered paper.
annabower.bsky.social
You’ve gotta be kidding me.

This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump.

Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies.

Really embarrassing stuff.
But the mere fact that a legal tool might be available does not mean it should be used. The
current rage over Grassley's revelation shows why. Smith showed little restraint in his pursuit of a former president. He charged Trump for official acts he took as president. He sought a gag order to limit Trump's ability to criticize the prosecution. He tried to accelerate the case to try a leading presidential candidate before the 2024 election.
