Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

Whether it’s liberal tweaking their language to be more gender inclusive or Elon Musk tweaking Grok to say more positive things about Adolf Hitler, both sides have a free speech problem.

Just to accurately lay out the course of events, people were yelling at him because his auto-responding robot that was trained on Twitter’s userbase still displayed — against all odds — a modicum of empathy. He then made the robot speak like him and within hours it was calling itself Mechahitler.

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

Just voted! 😃 I do not live in New York City, so my local polling place was very confused, but after a lot of threats they took my ballot and put it in some kind of trash can-shaped ballot box, so I can say I did my duty. Punched an old person on my way out to stop them from voting for Cuomo.
