Blog | Stand Up, Speak Up, Speak Out: Remembering the Legacy of John Lewis — Mass 50501 Until the end, Lewis inspired many across the world to engage in the kind of good trouble that had moved mountains in the American South. May he inspire all of us to do the same.

Our friends at @mass50501.bsky.social have written an essay with important historical context about the work of civil rights leader Congressman John Lewis ahead of next week’s #GoodTroubleLivesOn events:

X advertisers remain silent after Grok goes off the rails and CEO resigns The lack of public response from advertisers stands in stark contrast to their response in 2023 following an antisemitic post from Elon Musk.

Media capitulation takes many forms, including Amazon, Apple, Comcast (NBC), Disney (ABC) & Warner Bros (CNN) reluctance to respond to a journalist's request about advertising on Musk's hellsite.

Bullied into silence.

FEMA leader is a no-show after deadly Texas flooding David Richardson hasn't made public appearances, statements or social media postings since last week's flood. Former FEMA officials say that's concerning.

As FEMA responds to the deadly flooding in Texas, one key resource is missing: the FEMA leader. David Richardson, the agency's acting administrator, has not been to the site of one of the deadliest floods in the U.S. in the past 25 years. www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

Reminder: Trump is pushing for crypto legislation to keep lining his own pocket.

President Bush's former ethics lawyer says we have never had a president since the Civil War with such a conflict of interest.

We should not pass any crypto legislation without shutting this down.

Mahmoud Khalil files $20 million claim against Trump admin, says he'd also accept apology for ICE detention The claim alleges Khalil was falsely imprisoned, maliciously prosecuted and smeared as an antisemite as the government sought to deport him over his prominent role in campus protests.

Federal bill imperils $335 million set aside for massive Mass. Pike project, state officials say - The Boston Globe State transportation officials said they were “awaiting clarification” on the grant’s status from their federal counterparts.

Trump's Big, Ugly Bill is threatening the I-90 project, the most transformational and community-driven project our Commonwealth has seen in generations.

This is disgraceful and it's a direct assault on the communities who depend on it.
