Hey I reported this piece this week and I think it gets at a pretty important corner of the housing crisis right now and I'd love if you read it

The state estimates a cost of half a billion dollars to connect the communities of the Quabbin watershed to the eastern Mass-serving reservoir. But residents and officials say that's not the only way the state could recognize those communities' sacrifices: theshoestring.org/2024/11/22/qua…

With a drought and its resultant fires ongoing across the state, The Shoestring looked at EPA data to find the biggest greenhouse gas emitters in western Mass. By @dustyc123: theshoestring.org/2024/11/19/mee…


once vince staples did amherst college's spring concert and that shit was in the gym and it sounded like ass and whenever he said something everyone (lotta white people) just cheered and I later found out he was saying something like "yall ever experienced police brutality?" :(

Vince Staples just asked a predominantly white crowd “yall fuck with that real nigga shit?”, and when they screamed “hell yea!”, he called them some stupid mfs lmfaoooo



Can't wait to see how RFK and the guy who would accept a McDonald's IV drip if they had one get along once they're both in office

Nauseating how many Democrats are about to discover their commitment to international law and opposition to genocide now that they are no longer in power.

For the millionth time, it’s not “despite US warning”—the “warning” is fake, it’s liberal PR. It’s not real. Israel is starving Palestinians WITH the US, the US is an **active participant in the starvation campaign**, not a powerless humanitarian third party simply being ignored

It was actually Biden who urged states to spend pandemic money on police instead of tools to help us prepare for a future threat.

new pandemic and Trump as president, what could possibly go wrong



Bro he is dead

hey i have a question. if donald trump is a singular threat to democracy that the democrats desperately want to keep out of power and protect vulnerable minorities from, why isn’t biden issuing a flurry of executive orders right now

The implications for nonprofit newsrooms are ... alarming: "H.R. 9495, would grant the secretary of the Treasury Department unilateral authority to revoke the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit deemed to be a 'terrorist supporting organization.'" theintercept.com/2024/11/10/tru…


On so many levels. People who donated to this campaign were just helping a billionaire make another million? Rule number one is find someone willing to donate their time like ???

Sounds like this should be a bigger scandal

The Men’s March to Abolish Abortion is coming to Boston. It is organized by Christian fascists and is a direct threat to the safety of our community. Join us on Saturday, November 16th at 11:00am at Charlesgate Park to resist this fascist attack on our community!

At the start of COVID, the government implemented many social programs that helped people who were struggling. These programs were immensely popular. Yet instead of fighting hard to extend and expand them, Democrats prematurely declared the pandemic was over and let them expire.

It wasn't just that Biden-Harris failed to address financial hardship and hunger. It's that they were telling people how great everything was as those basic human security conditions deteriorated. Who wants to hear about the GDP when they're hungry? stephensemler.com/p/a-couple-cha…

Liberal politicians do not understand this. They have no way to understand and connect with the reality of falling living standards. So they see GDP growth rates and stock market returns and pat themselves on the back. At election time, they repeat ‘we just need more’.

gonna keep ringing this bell: everyone from climate to repro activism should get familiar w/ the techniques used to repress the Stop Cop City movement (bs RICO charges, weaponization of vague new "anti-terror" laws, criminalization of bail funds, ect) and have a plan to meet them

Voters came out against Question 5 — a proposed wage hike for tipped workers — by a margin of nearly 2:1 on Tuesday, following big spending by local and out-of-state restaurateurs and a slate of high profile endorsements. William Amend reports: theshoestring.org/2024/11/06/bus…


IMO this is the most useful analysis rn. My real fear is that liberal dem voters have spent the last four years accepting genocide and border fascism and won't be open to joining leftists in the streets like they were 2016-20. Maybe we don't need them to. Time will tell

Look at the popular vote. America didn't get more right wing, it just gave up on the national Democratic party. Trump lost 3 million votes... and Harris (and Biden), lost 15 million votes. That's what happens when you run the "everything's fine the way it is" campaign
