We need to stop w/ this excuse. Imperialist and colonial racist maniacs don’t need Epstein files an excuse to implement a white supremacist agenda.

Call me a raving radical but I literally do not care whether your imperialist massacre of children is “constitutional” or not.

clown car city, truly 😂

how else would we grow a strong enough crop of Worcester Tumbleweeds for the spring

looking forward to trash and recycling sitting out on the street for two days bc we STILL don't have a citywide notification system (and we don't update the city website at all if there's a delay, apparently?)

the dump healey lawn signs are right

that's 50,000 rent checks

Underground art has always been where the best work is done, and it will become doubly important now.

even if he'd be willing to read one article about it first, he'd be ahead of the ones I've worked with 😂 tysm!

anyone know a physical therapist with hypermobility expertise in central mass (my shoulder has become my enemy)

the only thing worse than being on the roads in this weather is being on the roads as a pedestrian in this weather. oh my god people slow down.

There are over 400,000 internal refugees within the US, having to flee their home states because of harassment and targeted attacks *by their governments* - to say nothing of the social/community harassment and attacks, or the people who don't have the means to flee.

Ex-Worcester councilor who protested ICE to appeal assault conviction The former councilor was found guilty of assaulting an officer during an ICE operation but found not guilty of interfering with officers at the scene.

Former #Worcester city councilor Etel Haxhiaj will appeal her conviction for assaulting a police officer who was assisting an ICE abduction of a mother with a valid asylum claim.

Haxhiaj was convicted of assault for touching Shauna McGuirk when the officer violently yanked Haxhiaj by her shoulders.

imagine if all the money poured into medical AI was used to fund residencies instead. you could see an actual doctor instead of Googling what that weird symptom might be.

I think this is my first visit to a Dr office during a COVID wave (since like, 2021?) where they're requiring masks. Imagine public health measures in health settings. Wild.

A crisis that needed my attention In May of last year Bill Shaner reported for Hell World on the abduction of a Worcester, MA asylum-seeker named Rosane Ferreira-De Oliveira by the federal government. It was an early look at how horri...

In May we reported on the abduction by ICE of an asylum seeker in Worcester. @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social, a city councilor at the time, was absurdly and unjustly convicted last week of assaulting a police officer that day in what she says was a politically motivated trial. We talked about it.
