Auto insurance - one of the biggest nightmares we’re forced to deal with in the U.S. [Provider name here] will ask if you have a mole on your left butt cheek. What’s your favorite cuisine. Anything it seems they can log and possibly sell to a third party.

I was excited to learn, thanks to a flyer at my door, that #DanielLander is challenging #Massachusetts State Senator #WillBrownsberger.
I was once a Brownsberger fan, but my enthusiasm waned as his progressivism did. My last straw was his refusal to support the unionization of legislature staff.
I don't know if Lander can beat him, but Brownsberger needs to feel heat from the left.

MA Gov. Healey declares a state of emergency, including a remote telework day Monday for non-emergency employees. "I urge all private employers to do the same," she said.
And to all: "Please say off the roads. It's really critical for folks to stay off the roads."

Officially kicking off Mayor Wu's re-election campaign!

Yet another generationally rich, entitled white man who doesn't know how to sit down and wait his fucking turn while a woman from an underrepresented group shows him how it's done.
I would say, "I'm sure Josh Kraft is a nice guy," if it weren't for the fact that if he feels compelled to run against Wu then he's clearly not.

Today on #CCTVCambridge's What's That About: Is DCR the state parks department or the Department of Cars and Roads? After the city of Cambridge showed overwhelming support for keeping Riverbend park open on Saturdays for the third year in a row, the DCR... arbitrarily closed it anyway. We address that question and more, like why Cambridge's rep Marjorie Decker is the only local politician refusing to take a public position.
