Malden Teachers and community members out yesterday to protest the 100+ pink slips in handed out by the district this past week.

Many who were let go "for performance" haven't even received their annual performance reviews yet.

Massachusetts became the first state to legalize same-sex marriage eighteen years ago today.

Today, same-sex marriage is legal in all states.

Between May 17, 2004 and December 31, 2004, nearly one in five marriages in Massachusetts was a same-sex marriage.
