Faced with our lawsuit, the Trump Administration has rightly decided to release $184 million in critical funding that helps Mass. residents serve their communities.
Our lawsuits are working, and we won’t stop fighting to hold the federal government accountable when they harm our residents.

The censorship of 80+ games on Steam this week was apparently the work of Australian antiporn group Collective Shout, which partnered with US evangelicals to pressure Visa and Mastercard.
