Romney Distorts-Front Page Editorial

I’m endorsing John Edwards (finally)

January 1, 2008 By Charley on the MTA

Obama: Bean-bag or judo?

December 29, 2007 By Charley on the MTA

I don't mean to hijack the discussion going on on David Eisenthal's Obama-endorsement thread, but I'd like to state what I'm sure I *don't* know. It is possible, I think, to acknowledge the concerns of … [Read more...]

The #HousingCrisis & the #ClimateCrisis must be addressed together. We can no longer let our communities, particularly black & brown communities, be displaced by speculative investors buying up properties & jacking up rent.

Morning, Mass. ☀️ Engagement is down across the #mapoli & #bospoli hashtags, new @LegislataApp data show. Is Twitter still useful for pols/activists? We asked @JonathanCohn & Boston Mayor @wutrain. Plus:
— Boston evictions spike
— Grappling w/climate goals https://politi.co/3yXRgkN

We could improve our solar + farming (agrivoltaics) program and IX situation :) so we can actually get MWs in the ground while keeping farmers farming for another generation. #mapoli 1000MW+ of solar in the SMART program stalled in MA.

The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe

An alarming new report on climate change raises a difficult question for Massachusetts, already ahead of most states on climate policy. Is it even possible to move faster? https://trib.al/qHy7zwc

“What if I told you… this wasn’t a question of how liberal we are? 🙄 Or that what happens to literally five one-hundred-thousandths of a percent of the Earth’s surface area…. won’t matter for the planet’s mean surface temperature at all? #mapoli

Sabrina Shankman @shankman

On Monday, UN Sec-Gen. @antonioguterres said that in response to the dire IPCC report, developed nations should aim for net-zero by 2040. That's 10 years before MA's goal, so we asked the question: In liberal MA, is it even possible to move faster?
