Does anyone use Bitwarden for a password manager? I'm considering switching from 1Password with the recent price increase. There's a free version of Bitwarden and premium is only $20, instead of $50 with 1P.

Elected officials, both local and on Beacon Hill, have had years if not decades, to do something about housing and they haven't.

Now it's up to us to do their jobs for them

I was wondering when the pushback against the potential rent control question would come & here it is

The industry is going to pull out all the stops to kill the ballot question. I hope they light the money on fire only to lose by double digits

I'd happily vote for rent control if given the chance

Every email I send, you can read. Every meeting I’m in, you can watch. The State House demands that level of transparency from every school committee and city council in Massachusetts.

But they exempt themselves.

They literally said they couldn’t work under the rules they set for the rest of us.

incredible that the lifelong Catholic in this specific situation is The Pope

👏Ex 👏Communi👏cation👏

Oh, this fucking sucks.

I went to a small, liberal arts college in New England and it's devastating to hear about them closing one by one.

Opinion Editorial Board America’s income tax is progressive The rich already pay more than their fair share

Unbelievable stuff from the Washington Post on behalf of Jeff Bezos today.

You just never realize how stupid living through the formation of the Church of England would have been

pope leo is weak on crime lmao. sometimes priests wear a cape type situation but he’s not batman, dude.

Among Healey's 32 District Court nominees, "18 (56 percent) come from law enforcement backgrounds, almost all former assistant district attorneys. Just three (9 percent) come from legal services backgrounds, meaning institutional public defenders or legal aid attorneys. That is a ratio of 6 to 1."

like the catholic church has both manufactured and dealt with petty autocrats for 2000 years does the trump administration think they're dealing with fucking amateurs

A New Law Voids IDs of Transgender Kansans. It Also Threatens Their Voting Access. - Bolts Almost as soon as Kansas lawmakers passed a new law targeting transgender people in late February, state officials started invalidating some people’s driver’s licenses without warning. The law, which ...

Just to spell this out…

You need ID to vote in Kansas. For most, that means a driver’s license.

Kansas has canceled valid licenses of people who’d updated their gender marker. Many of those affected will need new licenses to be able to vote.

A new license costs $16.

= Poll tax on trans people.

About god damn time. What a piece of shit. Here's hoping it sticks and he's kicked off Twitch permanently

This is the face of a lunar scientist who has just been told that the #Artemis II crew saw SEVERAL impact flashes (the flashes when meteors hit the lunar surface) in real time 😃 🌓💥

This morning, NASA sent up a message recorded by Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell before his death: “Hello, Artemis II! This is Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell. Welcome to my old neighborhood! When Frank Borman, Bill Anders, and I orbited the Moon on Apollo 8, we got humanity’s first up-close look at the Moon and got a view of the home planet that inspired and united people around the world. I’m proud to pass that torch on to you — as you swing around the Moon and lay the groundwork for missions to Mars … for the benefit of all. It’s a historic day, and I know how busy you’ll be. But don’t forget to enjoy the view. So, Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy, and all the great teams supporting you – good luck and Godspeed from all of us here on the good Earth.” Jim Lovell Jim Lovell Gemini VII, Gemini XII, Apollo 8, and Apollo 13 Astronaut

They are positioning this as less expensive than parking (which is partially true), but $80 per person is still a lot, especially if you are bringing kids. If you have 3 people, driving becomes cheaper. A mistake on the T's part.

"Some right-wing Israeli lawmakers enthusiastically adopted the noose as a symbol of their support for the law, wearing golden noose-shaped pins on their lapels in the Knesset...Israeli lawmakers frequently invoked the American practice of capital punishment when justifying the legislation."

As a person who is typically meat in this scenario - someone who walks more often than I drive - I do not want government agencies yelling things at me that I already know. I want them to yell at drivers to slow the fuck down, get off their fucking phones, and stop at fucking crosswalks.

i went into this expecting the medical grievance denial rate in federal prisons to be in like the 70–80% range

after crunching the numbers, i found that 98% of the 66,000 medical grievances lodged between 2014–2024 were rejected by BOP; less than 1,000 cases were granted relief in 10 years

MA continues to help funnel people into an immigrant detention system rife with human rights and due process violations. Every other blue state in the country has stopped this practice and there is no excuse for us to continue. Please consider contacting your representative: plsma.org/findmy

Holy shit the official account finally shared something

A tweet reads as the following "I hate to be that guy, but the No Kings protests are peak "feel good liberalism designed to make you feel like you're doing something ™️" There's no demands! It's even on a weekend so it doesn't threaten capital. Like, come on y'all" There are 2500 retweets, 20,000 likes on the tweet

Also, this blew the fuck up on Twitter and now my mentions are a fucked up dumpster fire 🙃

One more thought: If even 1% of No Kings attendees were to say, get involved with their local mutual aid org or ICE watch, it might be worth it.

Instead, the "protest" is designed for you to show up, listen to speeches & then go home, which does nothing. At best it's "orange man bad & please vote"
