This is a place where Democrats will be complete cowards if they take power. They should just step in and cancel all the contracts which is exactly what the Republicans would do.

Because he is not acting in good faith and has not been for years now. He promotes a new outrage every day to get clicks and to try to earn conservative bona fides. It is all very 2022.

This kind of bullshit is why people do not trust the police. And, oh by the way, the Chicago police and Rahm Emanuel used the same excuses to hide a video of a cop murdering a 17-year-old.

@mattyglesias.bsky.social never misses the chance to be proudly and obnoxiously on the wrong side of a debate to be edgy or contrarian or whatever the hell it is he has been milking for the last 15 years.

But wait, the Herald and certain city councilors told me that these things are very unpopular.

I mean, it was an egg sandwich. Was there bacon? Cuz that could explain it.

Good Fry Day!

Thank you for sharing this and many other things about what the Councilor is doing. It is all rage bating and gaslighting at this point. I can only assume he is trying to position to run for Lynch's seat when the time comes.

Interesting since Morrissey is also a total asshole.

Best analogy I have seen. Just perfect.

Also, the column today suggests that somehow a private lawsuit between private corporations is a public problem that is scaring people away from Boston.

But that doesn’t fit the narrative.

This is truly a beautiful piece of art.

It is also being treated by many like a Lifetime Achievement Award for Stafford.

He had to curry favor to survive financially. I mean, he is just getting by. All these billionaires are such assholes. Fuck (and tax!) them all to hell!

He is such a weak, pathetic, and embarrassing hypocrite.

We all love your state right now! Representing for all of us.

He such a pathetic child.

Be nice. We are Massholes, but we mostly vote the right way and support the right things (i.e., democracy, education, health care, marriage equality, the Patriots). Okay, I'm just fucking with you on the last one, but the rest is true.

I guess being an asshole all the time (especially to reporters just doing their jobs) has a price. I know he should be in, but I like it when arrogant jerks get some comeuppance. And I am a Pats fan.

I guess being an asshole to everyone has a price.

I am sure your girls are going to love it!

From what I can gather, the Speaker does not have a TV or a computer or a smart phone.

Right?! Masks and vaccines are tyranny, but murdering citizens, kidnapping children, and terrorizing whole communities are just fine. Hypocrites. Actually, morons. Okay, hypocrites and morons.

Yes! When I saw the promos I thought he was just a cute twink. Then the opening 20 minutes happened. Holy hot.

"Oh, you strenuously object? Well, then..." #AFewGoodMen

They executed him. He was laying on the ground surrounded by them. There was no legal justification. They need to be prosecuted. And if it does not happen now, then it has to happen when these horrors end some day.

Yes. The last 10 years have made me realize that toxic masculinity is as insidious as racism and sexism. Maybe worse because it crosses races and genders.
