Proud to announce a new campaign from the ACLU of Massachusetts to ban the sale and trade of cellphone location information. We must end this predatory practice once and for all. Learn more and get involved: https://twitter.com/ACLU_Mass/status/1668951528009285632?s=20

This is so fantastic. The city of Boston is installing speed humps on ALL residential streets. Thank you Mayor Wu and Jascha! https://content.boston.gov/making-neighborhood-streets-safer

I know it sounds crazy, but what if the FBI was simply prohibited from doing unconstitutional surveillance in the first place? Wild concept right. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/19/us/politics/fbi-violated-surveillance-program-rules.html

I’ve gotten so many of these calls. The right wing grift machine is so strong it’s amazing. I say good for them. Better than them using the money to try to influence politics. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/05/14/us/politics/scam-robocalls-donations-policing-veterans.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

My leadership on the board of Torturing Puppies and Kittens LLC should not in any way imply that I cannot do my job to run the Center to Stop Animal Cruelty, and frankly to even suggest so is offensive. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/04/12/science/harvard-environmental-lawyer-under-fire-oil-industry-ties/

Really disappointing to hear WBUR rely on former Boston police commissioner turned security consultant Ed Davis to opine on whether Bostonians are at risk of terrorist attacks, 10 years after the marathon bombings. Davis literally has a financial interest in making people afraid.
