State of the Commonwealth?

January 26, 2022 By Christopher

It appears we've hit another lull in activity here as it has been a few days since the last diary or comment.  I figured I would see what people's thoughts were on last night's "State of the Commonwealth", the final one for Governor Baker.  … [Read more...]

Rachel Rollins Conformed as United States Attorney

December 9, 2021 By Christopher

This after some concerns raised by Republicans about her record, which frankly I wonder about too.  Biden doesn't seem the type to nominate a radical, but I thought I heard her run for Suffolk DA on a platform of declining to prosecute a … [Read more...]

A Columbus Day Rant

October 12, 2021 By Christopher

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

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...]

AG certifies petitions

Attorney General Maura Healey has released her decisions regarding the constitutionality of proposed initiatives.  Here is the list with links to declination letters where applicable.  These rulings are not about her support or opposition … [Read more...]

Wait, WHAT?

August 21, 2021 By Christopher

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

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...]

As you can see here, women like this one and @juliaforboston have had enough of the harassment of @DoctorTurtleboy. So it's hilarious to watch him try and play the victim here when it's clear the low rent porn star is finally getting a taste of his own medicine. #mapoli?… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1638900492649594886

Great data! Trying to pass salary transparency bills in Massachusetts this session!! We need this!! #mapoli @KarenSpilka @nwlc

National Women's Law Center @nwlc

When employers are clear about salary expectations and standards, women benefit. We're past outdated and sexist barriers to pay equality, and we're demanding change. Now. https://nwlc.org/resource/pay-range-transparency-laws-benefit/
