  • SEN. CORY BOOKER MAKES U.S HISTORY – LONGEST SPEECH ON SENATE FLOOR AT CAPITOL HILL

    The record for the longest filibuster in Congressional history was once held by a staunch segregationist opposing the Civil Rights Act.

    Today, Senator Cory Booker has made history—commanding the Senate floor in a powerful stand against the dangerous and oppressive actions of this administration. A Black man breaking the record once set in defiance of justice, now using it to defend democracy against the tide of fascism.

    “Liberty—not just for people who agree with the president—but FOR ALL!” – Cory Booker 

    “It’s not a right or left moment. It’s a right or wrong moment. This is a moral moment in America.” – Cory Booker

  • A Marlborough man was apprehended following the discovery of 96 deceased animals in Sturbridge.

    Last week, a troubling discovery in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, resulted in the arrest of a Marlborough man.

  • Postal workers in Boston rally in opposition to proposed changes to the USPS, advocating for the preservation of its services and workforce

    Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Boston on Sunday afternoon to voice their opposition to proposed reforms to the United States Postal Service. Letter carriers from across the region convened at Boston Common to protest a plan that seeks to eliminate 10,000 jobs and cut billions of dollars from the USPS budget. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has indicated that he is collaborating with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to implement these changes. The protesters also expressed their concerns regarding the potential privatization of the 250-year-old public institution.

    According to WCVB 5, The National Association of Letter Carriers says the plan would put millions of jobs at risk and would put in place the following:

    • Abolish the Postal Regulatory Commission, leaving no independent regulatory authority on pricing and service
    • Raise shipping costs, driving inflation higher for businesses and consumers
    • Sharply reduce service to rural America, including over 50 million addresses where private carriers often do not deliver

  • Flights to and from Boston were severely disrupted today

    “According to WCVB 5, Flights to and from Boston were severely disrupted, with numerous cancellations and delays, as a fire at Heathrow Airport led to a complete shutdown of operations. Passengers were left stranded as the airport’s closure created widespread travel chaos.”

  • Unilever, the parent company of Ben & Jerry’s, has terminated the CEO in an apparent effort to suppress the brand’s political activism.

    The CEO of Ben & Jerry’s was dismissed by its parent company, Unilever, primarily due to the brand’s outspoken political activism. This conflict dates back to 2021, when Ben & Jerry’s publicly called for a ceasefire in Gaza and ceased sales in Israel, a move that caused tension with Unilever. The situation escalated when Unilever sought legal action to prevent the company from voicing criticism of President Donald Trump. Throughout its history, Ben & Jerry’s has consistently championed progressive causes, such as LGBTQ+ rights and climate action. It seems plausible that the company’s stance on these contentious political issues has led to what some might view as punitive measures, possibly influenced by Unilever’s desire to distance itself from the brand’s political activism. Furthermore, there have been reports from consumers suggesting that, in some grocery stores, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream has been locked away, making it difficult for customers to purchase it.

    What do you think about the intersection of corporate interests and political expression in this case?
