I know I have a lot of #Somerville and #MAPoli and housing activist people On Here - can someone explain to me how a large multi-unit apartment building with private trash pickup can get away without offering recycling? Because I’ve been letting a friend put her cardboard on MY curb in Dorchester.

So, it looks like Keir Starmer just used a child p*rn generator to announce that they will start protecting kids from “harmful” social media. WTF?

For those who aren’t up to speed on this topic, supposed age verification appears to be a cover story for the Epstein class to set up a system of constant surveillance over everyday people. In more local cases, I imagine some rep’s simply haven’t bothered to give it thought, or they don’t care.

What's up, warm people? It's warm, and I'm even warmer, having bicycled up to the top of Central Hill to be LIVE AND IN THE CHAMBERS for this evening's budget presentation. Wow it's warm. 1/?

They still have to reconcile the House and Senate versions. I haven’t reviewed the actual language of either bill. I would love to hear from folks who have done so.

Mass. House unanimously passes data privacy bill

Representatives voted 146-0 in favor of the bill, which would require affirmative consent before sensitive information can be sold or shared, ban the sale of precise geolocation data, create special protections for minors, and authorize enforcement by the attorney general and, in some cases, private individuals.

Because next year’s budget seems SUPER relevant when considering layoffs of last week (incl potential union-busting activities involved in laying off staff who were known to have signed up for nascent SWU union!), plus the EXPANDING police budget … I’ll add to this thread to talk about this year’s budget. #SomervilleMA #SomerPoli #MAPoli

Here’s the FY27 budget book, which city council is will discuss tomorrow night/tonight at city hall, in the annual budget hearing: https://city-somerville-ma-cleardoc.cleargov.com/23272/902298/d
