Kerry in the straddle on Iran

July 20, 2008 By derrico 14 Comments

John Kerry was in Israel just before the July 4 holiday, stumping for Obama (and for his own candidacy as secretary of state?). He spoke like a hawk, saying, "Iran is a risk, a danger, a threat and a challenge, and we have to deal with … [Read more...]

Scary Stuff

May 20, 2008 By tedf 17 Comments

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

If you’re going to use “nothing about us without us”, could you put image descriptions in the alt text of the photos in the tweet where you used a phrase popularized by #Disability rights activists?

More Than Words @mtwyouth

Critical conversation w/ @AndreaForAG at our Waltham site about issues impacting the lives of young people... hate crimes against LGBTQ+ community, price gouging, cost of living, gun violence, the DCF to prison & homeless pipeline and more. Nothing about us without us.

Shana, we disagree about the performance of one elected official. That is it. There might be some others (elected officials), but here, it is just the one. 🤗 I expect every elected official to possess a broad, strong command of the issues relative to his office. Periodt. #mapoli

Boston First Responders United (BFRU) @BostonFRU

@RachelMiselman @CllrKendraLara Sounds like you should confront them. We know nothing of it. Are you going to continue going on and on as if we BFRU can do something about this problem that other people seem to be presenting? Or go handle it at the source like we do when we recognize a problem?
