r/aboutMassachusetts

Boston erupted in chaos and violence again last night. 13 people shot, at least two dead, two more stabbed early this morning and all the while “officer in trouble” calls being heard all across the city. As a result, the BPPA continues its calls for more cops on the street and more help and support from elected leadership.

Donna Festinger paid her own way to Washington, D.C. and has been personally staffing the Massachusetts booth so visitors wouldn’t walk by an empty exhibit from the birthplace of American freedom. She’s out there representing all of us with heart, pride, and zero political games.

It’s outrageous that the governor didn’t see the importance of representing the constituents here in our state at a once-in-a-generation event honoring 250 years of America. But Donna stepped up when leadership didn’t, and she’s saving the day for Massachusetts.

Thank you, Donna. You’re a true patriot and a shining example of what it means to love this state and this country.

A man went to the FRPD this week to report being assaulted in Fall River with a machete. We’ve confirmed with the FRPD that the assault is under investigation.

Massachusetts was made up of real men back then

Guess what "__________ man" he is?

A Massachusetts man!

But then again Mass lefties think ACAB so he's just running point for the DSA.

You can be a communist or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both.

To the communists, have a shitty day.

"I've never seen racism like it was directed at me today."

Massachusetts State Representative Marcus Vaughn reports that at a debate Democrat supporters and a Democratic Town Chair verbally harassed him for being black and a Republican.

Republicans soft on crime again.

BOSTON — The U.S. Marshals Service District of Massachusetts says it has arrested 110 violent fugitives since launching “Operation 250th,” a summer-long initiative aimed at apprehending more than 250 fugitives across the Bay State in honor of America’s 250th birthday.

Chudsters Paul Heroux and Maura Healey need to Go!

☎️They’re phoning it in while leaving YOU with the bill.

At 10 p.m., with more than half the Senate voting remotely, Beacon Hill passed another sweeping energy bill that will shape what Massachusetts residents pay for heat, electricity, transportation, and the electric grid for years to come.

If this bill is so important, why weren’t senators even in the room? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

This bill does not deliver real ratepayer relief. It pushes more offshore wind, more electrification mandates, and more grid expansion while families and businesses are already struggling with high energy costs.

Before final passage, senators rejected amendments that would have: ❌ Limit the growth of Mass Save spending ❌ Increase transparency into state energy procurement costs ...and came within ONE VOTE of making it harder to expand natural gas service.

They did not even need to be in the room to vote for higher costs.

But Massachusetts ratepayers will feel it.

“On July 1, ICE Boston arrested Alfredo Wilson Figueroa Landaverde, a previously removed illegal alien from El Salvador, during targeted operations in Everett, Massachusetts.

An illegal alien disarmed a Boston ICE agent this morning during a targeted arrest in Everett, Massachusetts.

Sources told @TPostMillennial that the previously deported illegal alien pulled the firearm out of an agent’s holster while he resisted arrest.

ICE agents ultimately won the battle and took the subject into custody. He will likely be facing fresh criminal charges, sources said.

Earlier this morning, Boston ICE arrested a Salvadoran MS-13 gang member who had a red notice. The subject is facing 45 years behind bars in his home country for his involvement with the terror group, sources said. The criminal alien was hiding out in the sanctuary city before ICE closed in on him.

Massachusetts' latest offshore wind procurement has been delayed for the sixth time, with contract deadlines now pushed back to January 29, 2027 — putting the process about 2.5 years behind schedule

Got to push it off until after the election. 🤔 Those with an ounce of brains know this is because the cost of windmill power is going to be far higher than other sources. Can't have opponents having that talking point. Common sense folks

The "Immigration Legal Defense Fund" started at $5 million.

Then it became $7 million.

Tonight, lawmakers approved $8 million.

That's a 60% increase in just over a year.

When politicians tell you they have to tighten the belt, remember what it is they chose to spend even more money on.

Boston councilor Erin Murphy slams city's 'safest city' claim, vows to stand with the rank-and-file as she demands the Mayor and Council make hiring more officers an urgent priority"

We also need to stop hiding behind the claim that Boston is the safest city in the country," Murphy wrote. "What does that title mean when residents in too many neighborhoods are witnessing violent crime and telling us they do not feel safe? Safety is not a slogan or a ranking. It is whether people feel protected in their neighborhoods, on their streets, and in their homes.

"In a written statement titled 'Is Boston Really the Safest City?', Murphy calls the mayor's talking point a slogan the city is hiding behind, and demands City Hall make recruiting and retaining officers 'an urgent priority' after the Dorchester attack on a lone Boston officer.
