The Massachusetts Attorney General now has a site for reporting misconduct by federal agents.

"Please use this form to report potentially unlawful activity or misconduct by ICE and other federal agents enforcing immigration laws in Massachusetts to the Offices of Governor Maura Healey and Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell. You can submit the form for yourself or someone else.”

VA chaplains in Mass. told no public prayers mentioning nurses, Alex Pretti

"Chaplains of all faiths at Veterans Affairs facilities Massachusetts were told this week not to mention VA nurses at all, let alone the name Alex Pretti, at worship or gatherings.

Clergy also were told not to offer counseling or support to Veterans Affairs nurses, all according to emails obtained by The Republican.”

@Gargron@mastodon.social I think the cruelty serves a purpose to promote group cohesion among the admins supporters. And it also serves a much more important purpose for their goal to disenfranchise Blue cities and states so they can “win” the mid-term elections. They know they will lose decisively if folks in these areas get to vote. https://ruby.social/@stepheneb/115911651820152268

The late Tom Stoppard, in his play Hapgood, had some good advice for writers of scientific papers.

@mattblaze@federate.social Sounds like how I try and structure emails. If you only have time to scan the subject line put the shortest form of the key take away there. The first sentence is a longer version of what’s in the subject. The first paragraph outlines decisions, next steps, and people who are or could be involved. After all that comes the details.
