What if you could go *under* Park Drive & go right from the Fenway path to the Muddy River path (see the dotted pink line)? The good news is the T has the funding to build this vital connection. Tell them to build it! Please sign this petition and help make the Fenway safer! fenwaymissinglink.org

map of the Fenway intersection near the Landmark Center - where crossing is a complicated endeavor to go through 4 stoplights - a new direct path (shown with a pink dotted line) is possible if we convince the T to build it.

American voters: hey, you get me that cheap burger I ordered? Republicans: sure thing boss, here it is, reeeaaaal fuckin racist and expensive, just like you asked. American voters: what

And we can come together by ruining every single official in this shithole regime who stole our future from us. This election was a howl of rage from Americans who wanted to live in a rich liberal democracy and not some wacky tinpot dictatorship.

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.

These MAGA pricks thought 2024 was an affirmative vote to wreck this country and turn it into an authoritarian hellhole, it wasn’t and they are gonna reap the whirlwind for their crimes.

Just apropos of some content I’ve seen on Instagram lately, if you deliberately route your CX course into a massive ditch, mud puddle or a stream bed you’re just being a dick imo.

To add context on #3, it’s actually fine if Republican politicians want to run for office in Massachusetts, but they should be honest about it. Likewise for Democrats. If anything the toxic GOP brand here dilutes the utility of the Democratic Party label, Yes on 3 will worsen that problem.

Summary of votes on Mass ballot questions, some with comment. 1: Yes. 2: Yes. 3: No. The jungle primary is an effort to sneak Republicans into office by obscuring the toxic-in-MA GOP brand. Party is an important data point for voters! 4: Yes. #mapoli #mapolitics

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

looked at in longer perspective, it's striking how much this resembles the premodern system of exclusion, rents, and personalist connections, which was--and this part's important--radically worse than the modern system of impersonal rules and general taxation

Boston’s chief planner is a true believer in the San Francisco model, in which you make it impossible to profitably build apartments by-right so developers are forced into a politicized discretionary negotiation with the city, which relaxes the rules in exchange for below-market units.

It's well-documented that the president maintained a years-long friendship with the world's most notorious child sex trafficker. It might strike you as odd there aren't direct allegations of Trump engaging in child sex trafficking.. except there are. There are SO MANY. They just never get reported!
