Amen.

As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

Great piece, Laura. I was living in Coolidge Corner in the 70s and remember S.S. Pierce. What a store. I will definitely look for Anthony's book.

My latest column for the Post-Gazette weekly newspaper introduces you to historian/researcher Anthony Sammarco, who has written/and is writing over 80 books on various Boston-centric subjects, such as history, individual neighborhoods, businesses and more!

Good morning, my friend! Here’s my latest every-other-week column for Boston’s Post-Gazette newspaper. Meet Anthony Sammarco, #author of 80+ books about Boston’s #history, #neighborhoods, institutions, #foods, even #departmentstores - and that barely starts the list! (clic on pic to enlarge) 🗞️

Where does one drive one of these cars to its full potential? Too much traffic in Boston.

G must have been in his element!

So great to see @johnwdean.bsky.social

A great America hero. I was glued to the hearings every morning before I went to work.

Your secret is safe with mel, Laura

And they are OnSale! 2 for $4. Great deal.

Quick reminder: Epstein.

Yes they do

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.

Anyone interested in going in with me to buy a couple of cases of Peeps

And On Sale! 2 for $4. What a bargain!

Hey Laura, interested in going in with me on a few cases of Peeps?

Meme: A dog inspects a workbook and says, “Bad grammar. Poor spelling. I cannot eat this homework.”

Meme: A man speaking to a uniformed man points to another and says, “I know you’re with the grammar police, but who’s that guy?” The policeman answers, “He’s the corrections officer.”

Good morning, my friend! Today is #NationalGrammarDay, an annual “designated day” since 2008. To the teachers (and anyone who identifies as a member of the Grammar Police), remember to have your red ink pens at the ready and march forth! 😉📝

So true.

Melania is as evil as her husband. And a slag also.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

and as @beauharnais.bsky.social said a little earlier, that, and year-round ice coffee. So, yes, we’re a tad odd. Could never live anywhere else. 🥰

Who??

Excuse me?
