A Columbus Day Rant

October 12, 2021 By Christopher 4 Comments

Yesterday was one of those days that the historian in me did a lot of cringing as I saw a lot of posts, articles, etc., mostly from sources I usually agree with, either trolling a virtue signaling over a key date in the history of … [Read more...]

Updates from today’s Massachusetts Democratic “Convention”

September 25, 2021 By Christopher 30 Comments

I put the last word of the headline in quotes because the root wood is "convene" from the Latin "convenere" meaning to come together, which unfortunately is not what we did today.  About a month ago at our meeting the Democratic State … [Read more...]

Wait, WHAT?

August 21, 2021 By Christopher 1 Comment

I nearly fell over when I saw this headline in my feed today.  I assumed that something like this in my lifetime would have been agreed to by the overwhelming majority.  I know it still occasionally causes controversy, but I just assumed it … [Read more...]

Why are so few vaccinated on the Cape & Islands?

August 2, 2021 By Christopher 20 Comments

This is so out of whack that I question whether I'm reading or interpreting this correctly.  According to this page (on which you will still have to use drop down menus to find specifics) Barnstable, Dukes, and Nantucket Counties have less … [Read more...]

In Congress – July 4, 1776

July 4, 2021 By Christopher Leave a Comment

I think it was David who had a tradition of posting this every year and I want to keep it going.  For the last four years on my FB page I posted a riff that was a bill of particulars against Donald Trump.   It is with tremendous relief and … [Read more...]

Boston Globe Recommends “Future Proofing” the Presidency.

June 9, 2021 By Christopher Leave a Comment

Massachusetts's paper of record has posted a 6-part series on how to insulate the presidency from another Donald Trump.  I have not read the series yet, but I understand the theme is legal remedies to codify norms.  They will run one at a … [Read more...]

Senator Warren to Seek Re-election

May 8, 2021 By Christopher 17 Comments

Politico frames this as a surprise among Massachusetts Democrats.  It isn't to me, nor have I heard the conversations speculating that she would not run.  I tend to assume that incumbents will seek re-election until I hear otherwise. … [Read more...]

RIP Vice President Walter Mondale

April 19, 2021 By Christopher 3 Comments

He was VP when I was born and one of my earliest political memories is of him being the 1984 Democratic presidential nominee. I remember hoping he would win, not because I had real political views at age 6, but because that is the age we … [Read more...]

What do eggs, lotion, and Slurpees have in common?

All of them have been deemed “dangerous weapons” in courts that made young people ineligible for judicial diversion to community supervision instead of incarceration.

12 senators wanted to keep it that way. #mapoli

Thank you to the 32 senators who voted to expand opportunities for judicial diversion to community supervision instead of incarceration for youth!

Incarceration is not designed for rehabilitation and cannot offer an outcome it's not designed for. #mapoli

More proof that my state representative hates women and LGBTQ+ individuals -- and apparently healthcare providers, too. He needs to go.

Everyone in the district must vote for Emmanuel Dockter for State Representative in November.

Look who voted no on H.4930, a new #ReproductiveRights bill. Shame on DeCoste for voting no on this vital piece of legislation.

We shouldn’t be surprised, though, as he has a history of voting against the fundamental rights of women and LGBTQ+ individuals.

At every level of government, we must have intelligent, thoughtful representation. We have a better chance of achieving this if we have two, truly viable parties, which would allow for the actual challenge & contrast of ideas. #mapoli

According to the @PioneerBoston, #Massachusetts lost over 20,000 residents in 2020. Maybe a positive spin can be put on this, but the reality still must be acknowledged. The cost of living & the lack of political choice are driving people from the state. We need change. #mapoli
