I love Boston. As a fourth-generation guy from Eastie, I’ll always hold that affinity. The demographics have changed — that’s okay. I’ll always steward my city, but I’m so sad at see the current state of its political landscape. The city is in severe trouble.

@MassieforKY You’re draining the swamp.

I filed with FEC for the 2028 House race. This allows me to raise funds to continue my political operations supporting my position as a current office holder and as a potential candidate for federal office. I haven’t made a final decision about which office to seek, if I run.

@kimKBaltimore @MassieforKY I understand completely… This is not total bullshit.

@MassieforKY Haha. For those of us that understand… this is total bullshit. Keep swindling the stupid.

@Cjpearson I once had some respect for you.

Getting a real job is always an option, by the way.

@CityMinneapolis Derek Chauvin is a hero.

Today we remember George Floyd.

@DavidFischer At Starland in Hanover, Massachusetts.

Be honest: who is old enough to say they played this game?

@4everwalkalone @muskonomy Pfft…

@muskonomy To my knowledge he always gave credit. This is contemptible.

NEWS: X just kicked out one of its biggest accounts for stealing content. Massimo built a massive following by taking other creators' videos, cutting out the watermark and posting them as his own. Thousands of videos. Same trick every time. Nikita Bier, X's head of product, told him directly: "Today is your last day in the Creator Program."

@muskonomy Good.

@Villgecrazylady Benjamin is a maniac.

4:00 yesterday Trump announces they’ve made a deal About 2 hours later a man with a long history of mental illness who was literally involuntarily committed by the secret service last July somehow gets access to a gun and shows up and opens fire on the White House. 11 hours after that Benjamin Netanyahu decides to make a public post specifically about this shooting that is very reminiscent of his weird ass posts following Charlie’s murder. He made this one before ever even publicly acknowledging the very unpopular Iran deal. And within hours, it looks like the whole deal is off again. Call me crazy, IDGAF, this shit is not coincidence. I don’t know how they’re doing it, probably some kind of mind control or hypnosis but it’s them. I cant rove it but its them.

@marcuslemonis @Lammes1885 Although you’re not perfect — neither am I — I do see some capitalistic virtue and goodness in you.

Does anyone know the owners of @Lammes1885 ? I heard it’s closing and want to stop that.

@amar_4inc @MarcoFoster_ @TomSteyer It would be compassionate to reject transgenderism at the government level.

@MarcoFoster_ @TomSteyer Tom Steyer is right , compassion isn’t weakness. Every kid deserves safety, dignity, and the chance to belong, including trans kids.

Tom Steyer: “I’m totally in favor of trans athletes in high school. When you understand the vulnerability, the stress, the danger of being a trans kid and you understand almost half of them try to commit suicide. Then you think we’re gonna punish those kids, we’re gonna cut them off from team sport. It’s like, no we’re not”

@7thTimeCharmer @Lordmiles @frankwrighter Oh… I had no clue.

@BostonByBirth @Lordmiles @frankwrighter You can buy the title of Lord. It easy even difficult.

I’ve met this man and his son. Incredibly kind and honest. Catholic, prayed before every meal, helped people in the streets, very /ourguy politically. I recommend you follow @frankwrighter

@CreeCoder I don’t blame Nikita.

🚨 Nikita just removed Rainmaker1973, an account with 4.3M followers, from the X creator program for reposting content without proper attribution. Using internal data Nikita says the account sourced 2,759 videos from ViralRushX over 6 months and recently cropped out a watermark on a viral dance video to avoid crediting the original creator. If you’re removing watermarks or cropping videos to bypass X’s attribution system, expect to lose monetization soon.

@ScottJenningsKY Iran is going to get money?

🚨After receiving a briefing from a Senior TRUMP Administration Official on the status of the Iran negotiations (someone in the know & not just speculating), I can tell you the following: -USA IS NOT GIVING IRANIANS MONEY FOR NOTHING. All speculation and propaganda to the contrary is false. Some hardline elements of Iran’s govt (IRGC) have pushed fake stories & propaganda to try to kill this negotiation. -Iran deal is NOT done (95%, but still haggling over some language). No deal being signed today. May be a few more days before this is done. -Iran will NOT get any money or sanctions relief up front. -Iran must turn over nuclear stockpile to get anything. USA position is that failure to meet deal commitments means Iran gets nothing. -Long term USA objective is preventing Iran from having nuclear weapon. -Initial deal point is to re-establish free flow of commerce by reopening Strait of Hormuz. Deal should have 2 phases: Step 1 - Open Strait of Hormuz. Give world economy breathing room. Iran agrees to give up enriched uranium. Step 2 - Get the nuclear material turned over. Only then can Iran get sanctions relief. Bottom line: goal is to make a deal that lowers costs for Americans, calms world energy markets, and guarantees that Iranians cannot have a nuclear weapon over the long term. We aren’t there yet. Iran takes forever to get you a response on even small things. But we are close although it still could be a few days. “If we get what we are demanding, this is going to be a historic deal,” SAO says. SAO sounds prepared to do no deal at all if all Iran will do is a “bad deal.” SAO admits deal could fall apart yet. But if a deal is reached, SAO expects very senior USA admin officials to take part in a signing ceremony of some sort. Iran has agreed in principle to the framework but there are still a couple points USA isn’t satisfied with. 95% done. But literally changing words sometimes requires days in Iran’s system. Haggling over language. But USA feels like we have a commitment on nuclear stockpile and on opening Strait of Hormuz. If IRAN doesn’t deliver on commitments, they get nothing. “Iran’s ability to project power is a lot more limited than it was two months ago,” SAO says. “Their industrial base for building ballistic missiles has been substantially destroyed.”

@WillColeshill Of course… Go to sleep!

@BostonByBirth Thanks Jonathan :D

One moment I see a guy with a good tache and decide to interview him, the next...

@amitylee13 @jeremykauffman You guys are wild.

The chair just ejected @jeremykauffman from the floor.

@thecoastguy Casey Affleck.

I find the audio on new movies muffled and indistinct. Old movies are still fine. Is it just me?

@METAVERZUZ Yes.

Have you ever seen your favorite band live?

I don’t want to reform the UK, I want to restore Britain.

@SruliFruchter I despise the ignorant behavior.

Was just accosted on the subway for being Jewish. "Are there any Jews on this train? Where are the k*kes at?" He spots me in kippah and tzizit: "Got something to say Jew? Can't spare a dollar? This is all the k*ke Jews" Everyone's silent. I rush off. "Sorry," one woman says.
