Keller: If it’s not true, at least it’s a good story

October 19, 2007 By Charley on the MTA

If you can't check Keller's work, how do you know you can trust him? The absence of annotation unfortunately and perhaps unnecessarily puts the whole book straight into the category of "Bullshit", as defined by Harry … [Read more...]

The Bluest Pundit: chapter 4

Even before these projects, MA was NOT on track to meet Global Warming Solutions Act climate goals. ANY new gas infrastructure was NOT compatible w/ GWSA goals. *Now* MA has more/better env. laws, incl. EJ laws! Unlawful permitting by State agencies don't matter, I guess? #mapoli

@MassGovernor @GBHNews @GreenRootsEJ @XRBoston @SlingshotAction @breathe_ns @MassClimate The big question here: should @massgovernor try to pause or halt fossil-fuel projects that advanced in the Baker years, but still aren't complete?

So far, that's not something she seems inclined to do: https://www.wgbh.org/news/politics/2023/02/02/as-healey-ramps-up-environmental-focus-some-advocates-demand-more #mapoli @gbhnews

Prisoners in Massachusetts may soon be forced to choose between their organs and their freedom: Democratic legislators in the state are proposing a law that would allow prisoners to donate organs or bone marrow to get up to a year off their sentence. https://jacobin.com/2023/02/massachusetts-democrats-prisoner-organ-bone-marrow-donation/

Trump probably won't win his $50M lawsuit against Bob Woodward; the suit turns 1st Amendment on its head https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-probably-won-t-win-his-50-million-lawsuit-against-bob-woodward-with-experts-saying-the-suit-turns-the-first-amendment-on-its-head/ar-AA170DmE #MaPoli #NHpolitics

Proud boys held "Free Speech" rallies at the beginning of Trump's presidency; used violence to overturn an election at the end.

Organizing got @massedjustice this far. It's past time for communities like Lawrence and Boston to have true self-determination. Listen to parents, students, educators! Invest in what works, do away with failed strategies. #maedu #mapoli
