The thing I’m going to remember in 2026, is everyone who didn’t have the balls to run against Phil Scott in 2024, when we really needed them. That’s nothing less than an endorsement of his administration, his actions, and his policies.
“We can’t afford to build the housing needed” Ah, so we can afford to have exclusionary zoning to reserve valuable locations for wealthy people, and renters can afford to pay 20% extra on their property taxes, but we can’t afford to help the people impacted by those policies.
The city shouldn’t be clearing encampments without offering permanent housing. The national league of cities suggests providing services to encampments while dealing with the underlying policy failures that cause them.

Is this stuff only in schools for some reason? If not, like, are we sure it’s a problem? Do other states have this same issue?

I've never understood the black vest over a light shirt, or worse, a fleece. It's a lot of look.

@liamgriffin @btvpitchbot - The real winner in Sunday’s BTV Democratic caucus? Chris Felker
Right. Are there any Democrats who'd like to run for mayor now?

I guess in Vermont "Breaking News" has no meaning anymore. Great.
We call this bigotry. ⬇️
The #btv mayoral caucus is shaping up to be a reflection of the @TheDemocrats national coalition pitting Manchin Ds (Joan) vs. Biden Ds (Karen) vs. Bernie Ds (Mattison). #vtpoli
Everyone is “anti-crime.” The question is what is your aptitude to listen, learn, and lead the region in problem solving.

To the lost souls who mocked this Jew on #HolocaustRemembranceDay, who drew a swastika on my car window, who shouted “Free Palestine” at me in the grocery store: I am so grateful that I am not like you. Am Yisrael Chai, haters. Here’s my hilarious cat. 😘💙🇮🇱
Burlington’s encampment sweeps and criminalization of homeless may be a popular political strategy; however, these approaches are ineffective, harmful, and at odds with evidence-based strategies to solve homelessness. 1/ vermontpublic.org/local-news/202…
That would be a compassionate first step. Treating our homeless Vermont neighbors as criminals is more likely to actually turn them into criminals. Housing is a human right. #HousingFirst #vtpoli #btv
The city shouldn’t be clearing encampments without offering permanent housing. The national league of cities suggests providing services to encampments while dealing with the underlying policy failures that cause them.
