November 27, 2012 By markbernstein 5 Comments

We've all read about the importance of databases and cell phones, email and text messaging to the Obama and Warren campaigns of 2012. The success of VAN and Narwhal and campaign media outreach were vital. But the next election will come; we … [Read more...]

The Dude Can Ride

September 2, 2008 By syphax Leave a Comment

OK, here's a small item that doesn't have the word 'Palin' in it (by the way, did you know that Sarah Palin is your new Segway?). So, apparently Senator John Kerry can ride a bike.  Well enough to impress an apolitical former bike … [Read more...]

Are newspapers doomed?

August 28, 2008 By ACLUm blog 2 Comments

What are we supposed to do?

October 24, 2007 By Charley on the MTA 32 Comments

It's all terribly self-indulgent navel-gazing, but I suspect that a lot of us may be able to relate to this article explaining to Tom Friedman why young folks these days don't go out and protest and change the world, like they all did in … [Read more...]

A white nationalist neo-fascists group marched through #Boston July 4th weekend. Which one, no not Proud Boys or Oath Keepers indicted for seditious conspiracy, a spinoff of a group at Charlottesville unite the right rally https://theintercept.com/2022/06/17/jan-6-hearings-right-wing-white-nationalists/ #MaPoli #BosPoli

A mass shooting on the 4th of July in Philadelphia with fireworks in the background a few hours after a mass shooting in a Jewish suburb by a Trump supporter really adds to the rising fascism vibes.

WOW @MayorWu look at the GREAT 👀 example you’re setting to your peers… now they dont have to answer or acknowledge constituents.. you people must not want to be re-elected! #bospoli #mapoli #scum #SCREWWU #WuTrainWreck

Owner @nkboston12

The councilor blocks me because I question the tweets she posts or deletes. Never once did I use profanity or derogatory terms. Some of the posts she’s made legitimize radical actions or groups. I wonder if she realizes the pendulum swings “left” and “right?” #bospoli @Tania4D7
