When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Of all the scammy, weird things the Josh Kraft campaign has done this feels uniquely bad and actually illegal. The FTC requires that sponsored posts be labeled #ad or #sponsored. For months, Kraft paid Boston influencers thousands of dollars for Instagram posts with no disclosure. #mapoli #bospoli

oh my god. around midnight last night, CPD flooded an occupied, 61-unit apartment building with tear gas and pepper spray to try to force one guy out. it didn’t work! the guy’s still there! but they did make a bunch of people sick and displaced instead

Police engaged in a nightlong standoff Friday in Cambridge after a man wielded a machete in Central Square and made it to his home in The Port neighborhood, according to police and police scanner reports.
In an effort to get the barricaded man out of his home, police used gas that sent several sickened residents fleeing instead.

Gas was shot into the building shortly after midnight and rose through the building - which had not been fully evacuated. The 1879 five-story brick building, known as the George Close, was once a warehouse. Its 53,724 square feet holds 61 apartments.
One man came out livid from being affected by the gas - a mix of pepper spray and tear gas, according to a Pro EMS responder. One of the people watching over the hours took video of a woman on the fourth floor coughing and calling for help. Elderly residents in medical masks were assisted out of the building at 1:25 am., followed by a man in a wheelchair and others.

One family on the third floor was exposed to the gas for five to 10 minutes, said a man who described trying to escape. "I vomited so many times," he said, sitting on the sidewalk with his back on the brick building. "I was trying to push my father's wheelchair. The police should have notified us."
Firefighters were brought in to take care of residents affected by the gas.
While the additional crisis of sickened residents grew, some argued with police for the right to go in and retrieve pets or neighbors, Just A Start delivered food for the people waiting. At 1:40 a.m., police arranged for the doors to be opened at the Fletcher Maynard Academy across the street so residents could be nearby when they were allowed back in.
But, police told a Just A Start manager, the initial problem of the barricaded man was not yet resolved.

The Cambridge Police (still exclusively on X, naturally) are furiously spinning this debacle. After hours of antagonizing community members, they teargassed a low-income apartment building with NO WARNING. An elderly resident & a baby were sent to the hospital, and dozens suffered while CPD watched.

“…Massachusetts remains the only state where renter-paid broker fees is common practice. Councilors in Boston, Cambridge, then Somerville each recently filed hearing orders in their respective municipalities to get the cost of brokers put on those who hire them.” from @sweetadelinevt.bsky.social:

Boston, Cambridge and Somerville councilors join forces to reform broker fees

Brokers are usually hired by landlords, but in Massachusetts, tenants often end up paying for the service.

To “turn away from trans people & focus on ‘working-class’ politics is patently absurd while being pushed by cushy Dem consultants & it also misses that trans people are ‘paid ~68¢’ for every dollar a cis person makes”.
