but in the end truth will out.

"The best advice on writing I’ve ever received was, 'Rewrite it!' A lot of editors said that. They were all right. Writing is really rewriting--making the story better, clearer, truer." ~ Robert Lipsyte

Massachusetts braces for clean energy layoffs amid Trump’s cuts - The Boston Globe The state could lose an estimated 30,000 jobs and $3 billion in wages over the next decade as the federal government rolls back incentives for clean energy.

What does Donald Trump’s ugly bill mean for Massachusetts?

30,000 clean energy jobs gone.
$3 billion in lost wages.
$6 billion ripped from the local economy.

It’s a lose-lose-lose for working-class families.

PBS News is not going anywhere.

We will continue our work without fear or favor, as we have for nearly five decades on the air.

We are profoundly grateful to Viewers Like You for your loyalty and unwavering support.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

CBS to Cancel ‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ Citing ‘Financial Decision’ CBS said it planned to cancel Stephen Colbert's Late Show after next season, citing the weakening finances of late night

What a time for CBS to cancel Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” and blame it on a “purely financial decision”: variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Congrats to Stephen Colbert for never bending the knee.

Wilt thou conceal this dark conspiracy?

Stephen Colbert is a profoundly good and deeply talented man with a great staff and an excellent show. They all deserve better.

Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness

The chair is a toilet.

Defunding PBS and NPR is an act to silence the truth, which is the enemy of a wannabe dictator.

Make your voice louder. Call 202-224-3121 or 5calls.org to tell your Senators: vote NO on the Rescission package.

This isn’t just budget trimming. It’s part of a broader effort by the Trump regime to undermine independent institutions and silence public voices.

The Senate is about to vote on a sweeping cuts package that would gut funding for public broadcasting, global health, and foreign aid. That means local NPR and PBS stations are once again on the chopping block.

Another WV miner joins suit against federal government over shutdown of miners’ health program • West Virginia Watch Another miner has been added as a plaintiff in a class action suit pending against the federal Department of Health and Human Services.

Another miner has been added as a plaintiff in a class action suit pending against the federal Department of Health and Human Services over its prior shutdown of an agency crucial to helping coal miners protect themselves against dangerous black lung disease, reports @caitycoyne.bsky.social.

Life on the frontier was hard. Newlyweds might go months without eating a small white infant.
