Alexandra ThornI'm starting to work on building up a network of Massachusetts residents interested in passing the Electronic Privacy bill.DM me if you're interested in connecting.

rednikkiThe law in Massachusetts is that minor children need the signature of one parent in order to change their gender marker. The form has only one signature slot. But, contrary to the law and the form, the Registry of Vital Records and Statistics is rejecting forms that don’t have signatures from two parents. (Where does the second parent put their signature? Unclear.)The policy isn’t on their website and the form doesn’t have a spot for a second signature. Applicants don’t get the form back and are required to go through the process of compiling all their information again. Seems like something that a large media organization ought to cover. Also, if you want a role model for how one person in government can delay or destroy implementation of a law, this is a great example.<a href="https://toot.boston/tags/massachusetts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#massachusetts</a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/MAPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MAPol</a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/mapoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mapoli</a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/transrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transrights</a> <a href="http://blog.erikashira.com/2024/12/massachusetts-has-sudden-secret-policy.html?m=1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://blog.erikashira.com/2024/12/massachusetts-has-sudden-secret-policy.html?m=1</a>

Jonathan KamensEven in the midst of a depressive episode I can appreciate that Marilyn Petitto Devaney had finally been unseated from the Governor's Council.

Formerly <a href="https://babka.social/@amichai" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@amichai@babka.social</a> but hopping over to calckey for reasons.

I am in the process of converting to <a href="https://simcha.gay/tags/Judaism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Judaism</a>.I was raised in a fundigelical xtian family but was a closet atheist by the age of six, and there's still religious trauma I'm working through there. I live with my husband and our cat (Libby) and dog (Momo). I like posting unexciting photos of them (often "lap check with Libby" and "here's Momo ignoring me again while we're on a walk"). For the USA, I am extremely politically left... which means things like I believe things like <a href="https://simcha.gay/tags/EveryoneDeservesAHome" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EveryoneDeservesAHome</a>, <a href="https://simcha.gay/tags/HealthcareForAll" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HealthcareForAll</a>, and <a href="https://simcha.gay/tags/LandBack" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LandBack</a>.

I'd love to connect with more Jewish folks, especially Jewish queers of all types. DMs are welcome! If you want to follow me but would prefer I tag or CW some sort of content, let me know and I'll be delighted to do that. I will always put alt text description of images I post. If I boost something that does not have alt text already (or it's not an accurate transcription), I'll add suggested alt text in a reply.

I suppose Polio and Small Pox were scared out of existence by Big Pharma, then?<a href="https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/05/08/robert-kennedy-jr-measles-vaccines-226798/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/05/08/robert-kennedy-jr-measles-vaccines-226798/</a>Annnnnd, here's an article about his cross-continental press conference. I mean, campaign launch. Note how the people they interviewed about it responded. Those who were skeptical, said so. Those who showed up to support him were decked out in sloganeering bullshit, the kind of conspiracy theorist energy that has lobotomized our politics already. The lady with the cheap "Question Everything" shirt breathlessly babbling about something she clearly doesn't understand.<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/19/politics/robert-f-kennedy-jr-2024-announcement/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/19/politics/robert-f-kennedy-jr-2024-announcement/index.html</a>

Also, how exactly DO we heal the divide?By insisting that vaccines = Hitler, DUH!Dear RFK Jr, your father was a good man, you are a grifter breaking his good name into pieces and exchanging them for notoriety.The US does not need a Blue MAGA, it needs people willing to call antivaxxers what they are...ignorant and/or dishonest.ATTN: Reply Guys: How was smallpox eliminated here if vaccines don't work?

Anyway, Brookline (my hometown) passed RCV by 79%, and we're part of a movement to implement RCV for municipal elections. So the effort marches on!
