#BosPoli #PSA's (please :boostRequest: if you have #Boston folks in your feed):
1) We still need poll-workers for the November election. See https://www.boston.gov/departments/election/how-apply-become-poll-worker. ngl it's likely to be a crazy busy election and we'll need all the help we can get. No experience necessary, and it's a paid gig.
2) I am once again begging you not do do write-in protest / joke votes. No one will ever see them except the poor poll-workers who have to stay late at the polls counting them. Be kind.

He’s not a ‘fascist’. He’s a fascist. Putting it in quotation is a choice, not an expression of pure journalism or whatever. Linguistically, there is no good reason to put the word fascist in quotes unless the intention is to downplay the threat of #fascism.

🔴 🇺🇸 🗳️ History professor examines Nelson Rockefeller’s career as a lens for Republican Party’s rightward shift

“When Ronald Reagan left office, people like Newt Gingrich were more antagonistic and had a more ideological approach to conservatism. They kept pushing the party further and further to the right. What we see now in the Republican party is part of this long tradition during the 20th century,” Barrett said. “It will continue down this path as long as enough voters find this version of conservatism attractive.”

A bilboard shared from Leland, North Carolina. A nice twist on the red striped t-shirt-wearing Waldo, eh?

Yes, it could be AI or Photoshop. But that doesn't detract from the message.

"Nguyen said after moving to New York for college, talking politics with her parents became easier. She still sometimes struggles to express the topic in Vietnamese, taking some moments to look up translations for political terms, she said.

But with each conversation, Nguyen said they have become more patient, learning more about their parents’ lives and preferences in the process."

"Agenda47 is Trump's official campaign platform for the 2024 election. It is separate from the oft-mentioned Project 2025, but proposes his plans for crime, immigration and other issues.

While Trump's proposals on healthcare are slim, he has put forward a few policies focused on drug shortages, prices and addiction."
