Grass Roots vs. The Tea Party

October 13, 2011 By steven-j-gulitti

The Pathos of Denial

March 10, 2011 By steven-j-gulitti

You know as far as being honest about the role of the Koch brothers in Scott Walker's anti-union efforts, it's been more than somewhat amusing to see the elaborate kabuki dance of denial, self delusion and double talk that has emerged on … [Read more...]

Scott Walker, Conservative Hero Propped Up By the Koch Brothers

February 24, 2011 By steven-j-gulitti

Of Snowstorms, Conspiracies and Tea Parties

December 28, 2010 By steven-j-gulitti

I have more than a few Tea Party adherents in my family who, prior to this summer, used to make a habit of sending me every little headline about how cold and snowy it was and how those "facts" proved that global warming was a fallacy being … [Read more...]

I think that you mean *Atkinson* Street. 😉 @seroxbury

The public health approach is to contain people on Akitson Street living in tents!

“‘It’s a pivotal moment for #SalemMA, and I feel strongly that we can’t go backwards,’ Dominick told GBH News Wednesday. ‘We have a strong foundation to build on and keep moving our city forward as a place that works for everyone.’”

I support trans rights, yet I can’t help notice the growing and historically new and weird trend of protesting at your statehouse for because of what other state legislatures are doing, things that your legislature is firmly on record being against. #mapoli

SenRobynKennedy @senrobynkennedy

The message is simple: Protect Trans Kids.

We must ensure that our kids feel safe and protected as they pursue a life free of discrimination and danger because of who they are.

Let me just say loud and clear - to transit twitter, to the governor, to the legislature, and everyone else in #mapoli: Transit Matters has been wrong for years in their predictions of what is and is not possible at MBTA.

TransitMatters @transitmatters

"Let me just say loud & clear—to him, to the governor, to the legislature—if [Phil Eng] only has the resources that he has today, he will fail because they're not enough."

Thank you @SenJohnVelis for inviting me to speak with Housing Authorities in your district! #mapoli #bospoli

Senator John Velis @SenJohnVelis

Grateful to my friend and @MA_Senate Housing Chair, @LydiaMEdwards, for taking the time today to meet with Housing Authorities in my district.

We had a productive conversation on how we can improve CHAMP (MA Common Housing Application) and support our Public Housing Authorities.
