Seth Moulton's investments in defense companies that come before his committees are making him MILLIONS. Meanwhile, Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and rent. It's disgusting. And it should be illegal.

Statement from @bikeboston.bsky.social, @streetsboston.bsky.social, and @walkmass.bsky.social about Louisa Gag, who was hit and killed by a driver today. Yet another life taken because our society and leaders refuse to address the destruction wrought by cars.
My friend is dead. A driver, through neglect, recklessness or malice, has killed Louisa. I’m beside myself with grief and filled with righteous anger at a city that has stalled and slow-walked safety improvements for all road users. Louisa should be here with us.

“There may be.” FFS. Forget the flags. I have a literal masters degree in public health, I’m an actual union leader (in my second term as chapter president,) I’m a college professor, and a reproductive health advocate. And people are quibbling over if he abused his exes enough to be disqualifying.
the supposedly "originalist" unitary executive theory has led us to a point where the president is claiming the sovereign authority to force all institutions, public or private, to bend to his will or suffer the consequences www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/u...
