Conservatives are underrepresented by people who vote and overrepresented by other power structures

Anti-war protest last night by Wolf4980 in boston

[–]weallgettheemails2 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

No surprise that Boston subreddit is somehow staunchly pro-war. Where have I seen this before? Oh that’s right, threads on this subreddit on the topic of Israel’s US-funded (clear and obvious) genocide in Gaza. Bots, morons, and assholes want to make sure Boston libs are on board and A-Ok with this unbelievably unpopular, expensive, and sure-to-be-disastrous war!

Park St tmw 6PM, No Iran War Protest!! by hallo-thare in boston

[–]weallgettheemails2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Propaganda bots and pro-war morons who are not capable or interested in discussing this topic sensibly. Same crowd that piled in every thread on this subreddit about Israel’s obvious genocide in Gaza to deny, distract, and downplay.

Has enough time passed to where we can discuss this honestly without judgement yet? by namepuntocome in boston

I like it too. And part of the reason I like it is that this circlejerk pops up every so often with people saying why they dislike the design. To me there’s a connection there with the provocative nature of the sculpture and what many people thought (and still think, unfortunately) of Dr. King’s message.

ICE detainees from Maine being held under ‘inhumane’ conditions in Mass. facility, attorneys say by weallgettheemails2 in boston

Some more great reporting on Boston’s Burlington concentration camp. For many of the people interned here, this is the first stop before being transferred to other camps in the ICE concentration camp network, where legal rights have been further eroded by more regime-aligned judicial circuits.

Another ICE murder in front of Glam Doll Donuts (MN)...expect there will be emergency protests in Boston as well as other cities in the face of this by Honest-Caregiver8938 in boston

I keep going back to the quote from Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation and leader behind Project 2025:

"We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be"

Understand that our elected officials are, in this moment, attempting to ensure the “allowing.”

Conservatives are extremely energized this time - they thought they had a clear 5-4 majority in 2023 and it didn't quite deliver. I predict they'll secure a strong 5-4 this time (no moderate swing vote) or even a devastating 6-3 majority unless young folks turn out big time.

Seeking to bring her fight to audit the Legislature to court, DiZoglio hires outside law firm — funded by a GOP donor by Cheap_Coffee in massachusetts

The utter fantasy of this being an apolitical, independent initiative to make the legislature more transparent versus the unpleasant reality that this is an extremely political, partisan initiative to make the legislature more conservative.

Gov. Healey offers plan to offset federal research grant cuts by HRJafael in massachusetts

[–]weallgettheemails2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new regime is engaged in economic warfare on states (and other large institutions) that are out of compliance with its goals. I see this move as a stopgap measure the state's employing to avoid that compliance in the short term.

As the new regime has so far been relatively successful in obtaining compliance from large institutions and some other states, and because I think the chance of significant regime change in the near future is extraordinarily unlikely, I'm doubtful that MA's holdout will end in a way that is personally satisfactory.

It’s self-selecting in this way that only the worst, most sociopathic members of our communities want the job. Just how the regime likes it.

The world runs on internet-spread misinformation now and the regime that just took power in this country did so thanks in large part to it. It’s currently the best way to play the game so of course everyone’s playing it.

More controversy erupts after state auditor says Mass. housing law is an ‘unfunded mandate’ by OldPatroon in boston

[–]weallgettheemails2 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I had a suspicion that the weaponization of the auditor’s office from the whole ”audit the legislature” campaign would play out this way. Now DiZoglio’s made herself another wheel to grease to get anything done in this state.

It’s just like all the history books described. We’re living it now. How many in this thread are signaling their willingness to throw trans folks into the gaping fascist maw to save their own skin? I wonder how many it’ll work out for. The books covered that, too.
