Hyper local in Somerville, MA. FOIA requests & long threads live-tweeting city meetings. Also @fdmts

  1. 6 months later, with armored humvees and (as of tomorrow) military personnel carrying weapons of war through the capitol, with a concentration camp built in the florida everglades, with SCOTUS and circuit courts enabling this every step of the way, i think this framing has been entirely vindicated

    the constitutional crisis is actually 25 years going, but most people shrugged their shoulders and kept moving because it was happening very slowly. we are now in the final constitutional collapse phase, which is moving orders of magnitude faster.

  2. The next day, I was getting dressed out of the plastic bag where the paramedics had put my possessions.

    I discovered that somebody had put my two bike lights - front and back - in the bag along with the keys.

    They would have been stolen for sure if they had been on the street overnight.

  3. I continue to unpack my gratitude for how much help I got when I crashed my bike a few weeks ago.

    I was pretty dazed at the scene. My memories restart with the ambulance arriving.

    When somebody asked if they could lock up my bike - I fished the keys out of my pocket and handed them over.

  4. Did anybody ever get a response on these FOIA requests to DOGE? I certainly did not.

    I encourage everybody to file FOIA requests with DOGE for any documents or data they have on you.

    It’s a good idea, and also it will -bury- them in administrative work.

    Here’s a website that explains how to do that.

    They work for us. Not the other way around.
