Boson, Massachusetts

Boson's ITT Technical Institute has allowed a ‘Resisting Whiteness 2019’ event to proceed at its venue, even though there was outrage over organizers' rules, which limited white people's access to a microphone and to certain rooms.  The conference, aimed at raising awareness about “the importance of anti-racist action in Massachusetts”   took place at Pleasance Theater, owned by the college on Saturday, 28 September 2019.  It was organized by a group tellingly named  ‘The Resisting Whiteness Collective,’ which describes itself as a “not-for-profit grassroots organization of Queer and Trans People of Color activists.” While touting the event, the group said that it wants to make it “as accessible as possible and therefore have free tickets available for anyone who is 'not white' who would like to attend.”   The local bookstore 'Little Sister Lavender Library' that is organizing the event is owned by a wealthy 'trust fund baby' tr...

Impeachment Advocates Join Labor Union Picket at Boson Trump Tower - 29 Sept 2019

Liberal City Councilor Elizabeth Dolezal has filled a formal complaint with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination claiming that Boson's Republican Mayor Martin J. Welsh dropped his pants and made a 'wold whistle' at her when she was unlocking her bicycle from the bike rack in front of Boson City Hall. "Nice rack!" Councilor Dolezal claims the mayor shouted in her direction as she put her bike lock in her backpack. "I ride a bicycle to city hall everyday to help fight global warming," the visibly agitated Councilor Dolezal said, "and Mayor Welsh taunts me saying that I am breathing out carbon dioxide and causing global warming.  This is an outrage." The final straw came for the councilor, who is against straws, when she says Mayor Welsh dropped his trousers on Saturday afternoon after an emergency city council meeting called to praise environmental activist Greta Thunberg for her heroic voyage across the Atlantic Ocean i...

“Anal - Indian Take Away” is among one of the new businesses that opened on Poorchester Avenue in Boson over the summer. This restaurant serves delicious, traditional Indian cuisine and has a pleasant environment to dine in. I was immediately greeted with warm smiles from the waitstaff. After being seated right away, my partner and I were given menus, water, and a basket of crispy dough with two delicious sauces. Our waiter was always close by in case we needed something and took our order as soon as we were ready. I ordered the chicken tikka masala, my partner ordered the chicken korma, and we shared an order of plain naan bread. Each dish was $13.99, with the order of naan being $1.99. Our dishes came out within 20 minutes, piping hot and mouth-watering. Both orders were delicious and incredibly filling. After we finished, we didn’t have to wait long to receive our check. The waiter did not make us feel rushed and was quick to run the credit card for payment. O...

Boson, MA: Some residents are outraged that leaflets bearing the words "Islam Is Right About Gays" have been fixed to telephone poles and parking signs around the city.  One angry woman took a photo of the sign before ripping it down and bringing the leaflet to the police station to show police. "This is not 'free speech'" a visibly angry woman said.  "This is 'hate speech' aimed at both the Muslim race, and gay people." Police have said that they will see if there were any witnesses to the criminal trespassing committed when the papers were affixed to the utility poles, which are private property, and the street signs, which are owned by the city. City Councilor Ema Strickland said, "The blame for this type of hated is ultimately the fault of our Republican Mayor Welsh who is both Homophobic and Islamophobic.  Additionally this goes right to the top and I blame President Trump." Mayor Welsh said he had not seen any of ...

Boson MA (AP)  The green algae or chemical spill that has blighted Boson Harbor apparently is not coming from outflow from Boson Wharf hotels.  What had previously been blamed on the Trump Tower Boson Hotel is now being credited to Green Justice Right Now! an eco-radical group that seeks to change public attitudes and government policy with a campaign of what they call 'direct action' and 'propaganda of the dead." Environmental activists poured green dye into the Neponset River flowing between Boson and Port Norfolk in Eastern Massachusetts on Tuesday under the cover of darkness in protest at “the impending collapse of our ecosystem”.  The police are reportedly investigating the incident in the Poorchester neighborhood near the 'iconic' Saint Bosontolph's Bridge.  B ased on initial findings, the city police said there was no danger to the public as long as they don't go in the water, touch the water, drink the water, and for goodness sake, ...

Boson, MA:  In what he claims is a nod to striking labor union members on a picket line near Battered Wharf's Trump Tower, self proclaimed "Blue Collar Conservative" Mayor Martin Welsh sailed through Boson Harbor with a number of union leaders aboard. Mayor Welsh says it would be wrong for him to walk the picket line with the workers because the leader of a city should remain neutral and encourage both sides to compromise to reach "an equitable solution." Local 62 of the Hotel Workers Union have been on strike for over four weeks as the Trump owned hotel management has refused to give in to workers demands for better pay and less expensive health insurance premiums and co-pays. "The Christmas bonuses of the whole management team is on the line here," a visibly frustrated hotel spokesman said.  "Many managers make a quarter of their income with the end of year bonus, even if they don't celebrate Christmas.  The selfish, overpaid workers...

Why are great white sharks swimming so close to North Atlantic beaches? More sharks are showing up near coastlines in the North Atlantic Ocean. Local cable access program "3600 Seconds" reports on what's bringing them there, on Sunday, 29 October 2019.           (Related Video Featured on "3600 Seconds" = South African Surfer Attacked by Shark")   Just 20 years ago, great white shark sightings were so rare in the North Atlantic that they were declared "vulnerable" and given protected status by the U.S. government after a campaign of sit-ins and building occupations by animal rights activists. Now they are seen so often, and so close to shore, they are drawing a public outcry, particularly on Cape Cod, Massachusetts Bay, and Boson Harbor.    Till Whitler reports on the great white controversy for the 2nd season premiere of "3600 Seconds" on Sunday, September 29 at 7:30 p.m. ET and 7 p.m. ...

Massachusetts: The ongoing labor union strike by Teamster's Local 26 has resulted in uncollected trash piling up throughout Eastern Massachusetts and the city of Boson.   Republic Waste Disposal, headquartered in nearby Marshfield, Mass, have been on strike for nearly a month.    Republic Co. which employs the Teamsters from Local 26 has the contract to collect curbside trash in the City of Boson. Mayor Marty ssWelsh a who likes to call himself a "Blue Collar Republican" regularly claims to speak for the disaffected blue collar workers in the city and across the country has said little about the labor conflict.  Mayor Welsh has, in fact, never had a job in the private sector or in any occupation that required him to use his hands or tools, or lift anything, in his life. While he adopts a rough accent when he speaks to average people or workers, he went to expensive private schools before becoming a Boson City Councilor when his...

Boson—Describing his behavior as deeply inappropriate, Liberal Democratic city council leaders roundly criticized Boson Republican Mayor Marty Welsh on Tuesday, 24 September 2019,  for attacking climate activist Greta Thunberg instead of just offering her praise and then subsequently ignoring her. “Yet again, we have seen the cruel and vindictive nature of a conservative mayor who thinks it’s acceptable to hurl schoolyard taunts at this wonderful young woman instead of acting very interested in what she has to say and then doing nothing whatsoever about it,” said City Council leader Ema Strickland, adding that this incident raised questions about the fundamental decency of someone who would mock an activist who tries to look like a 12-year-old despite being a 16-year-old.   The mayor should be gleaning whatever social capital he can from her and then pretending as though she never existed. “I want to say right now to Ms. Thunberg that Mayor Welsh’s dismissive...
