Another cyclist died in Cambridge on Friday morning, right-hooked by a truck.
No words.
Well, I have lots of words, but I'll save them for my city counselors who think bike safety improvements are optional.
Fuck....and I cannot stress this enough...the police.
UPDATE: The "Antisemitism Awareness Act" has passed the House. IfNotNow released the following statement: https://mastodon.social/@ifnotnowboston/112368252438750972
URGENT: Within hours, Congress will vote on legislation that criminalizes student protest under the guise of fighting antisemitism. Write your rep now and tell them to vote NO on this authoritarian campus crackdown.
College students have a long and proud history of activism, and their right to protest must be protected. Yet this week, students protesting against the Israeli government’s genocide of Palestinians and for equality, justice and a thriving future for all were brutally attacked by police and counterprotesters. Instead of protecting these students, Congress is voting on legislation to criminalize their activism under the guise of fighting antisemitism. Congress is about to vote on forcing the Department of Education to adopt a widely discredited definition of antisemitism that defines criticism of Israel as anti-Jewish hate. Unsurprisingly, those leading this effort are MAGA Republicans and AIPAC endorsees. As Jews, we reject this cynical move in AIPAC’s longstanding efforts to forever secure unconditional U.S. political support for the Israeli government. We know that, far from supporting Jewish safety, this campus crackdown is part of a MAGA-led, anti-DEI crusade upholding white supremacy. Jewish students are a core part of student movements across the country, proudly embracing our tradition and making clear that Jewish and Palestinian safety are intertwined. Now is the time to tell Congress: supporting Jewish and Palestinian safety means protecting students’ right to protest, calling for a ceasefire, and rejecting AIPAC’s agenda of unconditional U.S. weapons to Israel.
Cambridge Street, Cambridge.
