@gbhnews has a new podcast series, “Scratch & Win,” which is about the rise of America’s most successful lottery. Expect tales of organized crime, the FBI, and U.S. politics — just another day in America, in other words.

GBHScratch & WinNever in American history has it been so easy to gamble, legally at least. We’ve got casinos, sports betting, online poker, keno — but it was all made possible by state lotteries, which brought gambling out of the shadows and into the public square — into the government itself.“Scratch & Win” follows the unlikely rise of America’s most successful lottery. We begin in 1970s Boston, with state bureaucrats going toe to toe with mafia bookmakers, and each other, as they struggle to launch the state's greatest innovation: the scratch ticket. But the story reaches all the way to the present moment. How do we feel about the gambling industry that lotteries helped summon into being? And should the state be in this business at all?“Scratch & Win” is made by the Peabody Award-winning team behind “The Big Dig,” produced by GBH News and distributed by PRX.

If you’re new, welcome - every week I scour through event listings and calendars for cool #boston #massachusetts area stuff to share with you, because you live in a stupidly expensive city and you might as well leave the house to enjoy it sometimes.

I put this together as a way for us neighbors to connect here on the Fediverse - it’s my hope this helps you to find some community here. If this sparks joy, please share/boost this thread to share my work.

I’d love to see more community-oriented projects like this one, and hope this sort of thing can be something you can talk about when you’re trying to convince friends to join us here on Mastodon.

#Resist #Tesla #MA @teslatakedown

actionnetwork.orgTESLA TAKEDOWN - WATERTOWN,MA We are protesting Elon Musk/Tesla. Unelected Elon is using his DOGE to dismantle programs including programs for vulnerable children and veterans. Elon had the nerve to call Social Security a "PONZI" scheme! Billionaire Elon says he wants to be a trillionaire, he supports tax cuts for the wealthy only to enrich himself. He does not care about the American people. No one is coming to save us, we must persevere, protest and boycott for as long as necessary. It may be week after week, month after month, year after year. We must sustain these protests for as long as necessary. Most importantly we will do so peacefully and courageously. #TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla

bbc.com/news/articles/cnvze9dz

" #Tesla facilities across the #US are facing protests and vandalism in response to the political role #ElonMusk... has played in the #Trump administration.

Most #TeslaTakedown protests have been peaceful, but a few have been destructive with fires intentionally set at Tesla showrooms and charging stations in #Colorado & #Massachusetts last week."

'The Healey administration launched a new website Friday to connect fired federal workers with job opportunities and training resources in Massachusetts.

More than 46,000 Massachusetts residents work for the federal government, across sectors like public administration, education, transportation, warehousing and the postal service, Healey’s office said.'

📣 NEW STATE ADDED: I've completed pie charts breaking out total population enrollment in #MEDICAID, #CHIP, #MEDICARE & #ACA exchange plans for every Congressional District in #MASSACHUSETTS:

acasignups.net/cd-pie-charts/ma

ACA Signups · Congressional District Enrollment: MassachusettsNOTE: THIS IS AN ONGOING PROJECT; IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL DAYS TO ADD EVERY STATE. CHECK BACK SOON. Over the past couple of months I've compiled a master spreadsheet breaking out enrollment in ACA plans (Qualified Health Plans & Basic Health Plans), Medicaid/CHIP coverage (both traditional & via ACA expansion) and Medicare (both Fee-for-Services & Advantage) at the Congressional District levels. With the pending dire threat to several of these programs (primarily Medicaid & the ACA) from the House Republican Budget Proposal which recently passed, I'm going a step further and am generating pie charts which visualize just how much of every Congressional District's total population is at risk of losing healthcare coverage. USE THE DROP-DOWN MENU ABOVE TO FIND YOUR STATE & DISTRICT. You can find the data sources & methodology explanation links here. ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​
