Why the fuck is #RachaelRollins running for office again? Why hasn't she crawled into a cave to live out the rest of her life in shameful introspection? Why are we saddled with politicians forced from office due to scandals of their own making, circling back just a few years later, after doing no work in the interim to acknowledge or atone for their misdeeds, to try to take another dip in the public trough?

RE: https://mastodon.online/@universalhub/117022153043538761
Second time this week the General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts* has made me glad I live in this state.
A number of months ago I was informed by a dumb Massachusetts leftist that our legislature "never does anything." The inability of some stupid people to understand the difference between "doesn't do everything I want" and "never does anything" is quite concerning, actually.

*Yes, that's what we call our legislature, live with it. -

The #Massachusetts legislature continues to respond robustly to the threats posed by our fascist federal government.
They certainly haven't done everything I think they should, but the stuff they're doing is real and substantive.
This is important legislation that was just passed and is on its way to the governor's desk for her signature:

We're going to have yet another legislative season where the Massachusetts legislature refuses to legalize automated traffic enforcement and I'll never forget how Ron Mariano moved heaven and earth to pass sports gambling #AutomateSafeStreetsMass #MApoli

Okay Massachusetts, are you choosing Democrat or Republican for the primary? (I’m reminded as my card to request mail in ballot just arrived.)
Greater Boston should note that we vote for our next district attorney (Suffolk county) among other things this fall.
Has Maura Healey responded to the MassHousing corruption case, or is it her work? How will taxpayers recoup the lost money?

Massachusetts: Housing program under Governor Healey has been giving $ millions to politically-connected people who either do shoddy work or lie about doing any at all. #Boston Globe:
Two men receiving most of the cash had recently sold a house to the person in charge of grants - so the money appears to be a kickback.
Unless serious action is taken to retrieve these tax dollars (+penalty) by September, this governor def needs to go.

I am constantly amazed by how bad the #Massachusetts #RMV is at customer service.
Yesterday my motorcycle license plate broke off on the highway. It had gotten bent several times, so it was only a matter of time before the metal fatigued enough for it to fall off.
Tried to order a replacement online: nope! Online not allowed for vehicles with only one plate. Why the fuck not?
Tried to make a service center appointment. Nope! Appointments aren't available for this. Why the fuck not? 😠

“In this day and age, even if you don’t like AI, you don’t have an option FOR NOW to opt out of it.”
I fixed the quote.
Anyone been following B. Globe more closely? Today’s article on “AI” continues to frame the thing as inevitable. As if Gen Z is mostly concerned about it for moral reasons. But the concern is EXISTENTIAL.
So yeah this piece hasn’t done anything to shift my perspective on the Globe. It’s an out-of-touch paper serving corporate interests. Shame

A @[email protected] headline makes the claim that "Most Mass. voters oppose" a congestion toll in polling. But that's not accurate: Pollsters didn't ask whether voters oppose the policy. They asked “would you be willing to pay to drive downtown if there was less traffic – yes or no?” #mapoli (1/3)

So, it looks like Keir Starmer just used a child p*rn generator to announce that they will start protecting kids from “harmful” social media. WTF?
For those who aren’t up to speed on this topic, supposed age verification appears to be a cover story for the Epstein class to set up a system of constant surveillance over everyday people. In more local cases, I imagine some rep’s simply haven’t bothered to give it thought, or they don’t care.
