Couple of weeks ago I was riding too close behind my wife's bike and when she braked suddenly I hit her bike, fell off my bike, and helmet (with my head inside) hit the ground.

First time I needed the helmet in 20+ years of city biking, but I'm very happy the helmet hit the ground and not my skull.

Massachusetts needs to pass the Safe Communities Act so that we can limit such blatant police collaboration with ICE.

We can't stop everything ICE is doing, but our state and local law enforcement should no the making their jobs easier. #mapoli

Who should you vote for in the School Committee election? Not the incumbents!

This is very long, I know less about School Committee, and I may've made some mistakes, so please let me know if I got something wrong or why you disagree.

Our shitshow of a School Committee, and who to vote for instead

We need a completely new School Committee.

Nothing says "liberal society" like claiming to protest a war while simultaneously sending your children to commit genocide as part of that war.

From www.nytimes.com/2025/10/12/w... —

“It’s a success story of an Israeli public that on one hand is sending its children to Gaza, and on the other hand is protesting every week,” he said. “And nobody shot anyone,” he noted pointedly.

“If these protests will succeed, and I think they will,” Mr. Golov added, “nobody will be able to say that Israeli society lost its liberal nature. I think it regained it.”

Continuously annoyed by how journalists are unable to spend more than 30 seconds to understand candidate positions.

Flaherty is NOT "staunchly pro-new housing". His website makes clear he is opposed to the recent upzoning measure (saying it "fails to include the voices of abutters and neighbors").

Candidate slate vows to ‘Repeal’ zoning building the housing that might change neighborhoods

Many higher-donor candidates this race are staunchly pro-new housing and buoyed by contributions from real estate developers. But that’s not the whole picture

another curmudgeonly thread for the many of you who will be entering organizing spaces.

all other things being equal, when confronted with one team of people recruiting you to Be a Thing and another team recruiting you to Do a Thing, please give serious thought to joining the second.

We had a great event recently in North Cambridge!

Good conversations about afterschool programs, protecting immigrant residents, safer streets, housing affordability, and responding to the federal government

Massachusetts: Are you feeling frustrated about the state of affairs in this country? Well, you can do something at the state and local level. Learn about how cops are sharing our data with out of state cops and feds, and then take action to stop it: data.aclum.org/2025/10/07/f...

If Democrats want to stop fascism, they have to stop their cops from beating & arresting anti-fascism protesters in their own cities

Why is that a thing I have to say out loud

13 arrested, 4 police officers injured during pro-Palestinian protest in Boston

Thirteen people were arrested, and four police officers were injured during a pro-Palestinian rally in Boston Tuesday night.

This is the main issue I have with so much of the coverage around e-bikes. It's not that there aren't legitimate issues. But there is a panic around e-bikes and crickets regarding the daily toll of cars. And that's because the harm of cars is just accepted. It's baked into our society.

The deference we give to drivers is astonishing: speeding, blowing through red lights, crashing without a whisper; yet we jump on non-drivers the moment they step out of line.
