At one May First celebration, in 1955 I think, Holley Cantine walked in. He wore a green alpine hat and a soft jacket with leather elbow pads and comfortable slacks cut off at the bottom. He had a well-trimmed beard and carried a trombone case. He asked whether we would be singing Solidarity Forever, and we said yes. So he sat down in front and didn't say another word. When we started to sing Solidarity Forever he opened his case, took out the trombone, and played along with us, though he couldn't play a single note correctly, as if he had never played a trombone before. Then he left without talking to anyone.

... unemployment... due solely to the worldwide depression, he says, and I find the expression pleasant sounding and appealing. I imagine a deeply grieving world where everyone has pulled down their shades and turned off the lights, while the rain streams down from a grey and inconsolable heaven without a single star." - A young narrator at a political speech in the 1930s, in Ditlevsen's "Childhood"

Critic Simon Reynolds described it as "jungle by non-junglists for non-junglists," stating that producers are "free to take the idiomatic features of jungle — fucked-up breakbeats, mutant bass, sampladelic collage —and exacerbate them away beyond any conceivable use-value to DJ or dancer."
To: Somerville School Committee From: Amara Anosike, JD, Chief of Staff and Strategy, SPS Date: April 27, 2026 Re: School Climate and Safety Memo Somerville Public Schools (SPS) is initiating a process to develop a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Somerville Police Department (SPD) regarding the potential placement of a School Resource Officer (SRO), at Somerville High School and Next Wave/Full Circle, consistent with districts across the Commonwealth and in neighboring communities. This process will be based on the Massachusetts Model MOU and is pursuant to G. L. c. 71, § 37P. The MOU will define roles, responsibilities, training expectations, and coordination protocols between SPS and SPD. As schools navigate increasingly complex student needs, SPS is committed to ensuring our safety systems are clear, consistent and aligned with best practices. Engaging in a thoughtful process grounded in the Commonwealth’s MOU, can strengthen our ability to support safe, inclusive learning environments. Under Chapter 71, § 37P, the development and execution of the MOU fall under the authority of the Superintendent of Schools. As part of this process, SPS will engage students, staff, and families through focus groups in the months of May and June 2026, to gather feedback on key elements of the MOU, including the role of the SRO, expectations for school-based support. This engagement is intended to ensure that the MOU reflects safe, supportive, and equitable learning environments. In addition to the development of the MOU, once it is complete, SPS is required to meet annual reporting obligations under G. L. c. 71, § 37P(d). No later than August 1 of each year, the district must report to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and publicly present to the School Committee: ● The cost to the district of assigning a School Resource Officer ● A description of the proposed budget for mental, social, or emotional health support personnel ● The number of sch…

"Human communities as variegated in their ways and beliefs as birds are in feathers were invaded, despoiled and at last exterminated beyond imagination's grasp. The clothes and artifacts of the vanished communities were gathered up as trophies and displayed in museums as additional traces of the march of progress; the extinct beliefs and ways became the curiosities of yet another of the invaders' many sciences. The expropriated fields, forests and animals were garnered as bonanzas, as preliminary capital, as the precondition for the production process that was to turn the fields into farms, the trees into lumber, the animals into hats, the minerals into muni-tions, the human survivors into cheap labor. Genocide was, and still is, the precondition, the cornerstone and groundwork of the military-industrial complexes, of the processed environments, of the worlds of offices and parking lots." from fredy perlman's "continuing appeal of nationalism"

Sitting at tea on her thirty-third birthday, Virginia and Leonard Woolf agreed on three resolutions: they would purchase Hogarth House in Richmond, procure a handpress to do their own printing, and buy a bull dog, whom they would name John.!' There is no further mention in Woolf's diaries of John the bulldog, but they soon bought Hogarth House and two years later, they purchased a handpress, thereby merging their home and a small-scale letterpress studio into the Hogarth Press.

Based in celebrating a successful grassroots movement to stop the development of a highway, the festival is a living tradition of the power of collective organizing and how such actions often radiate outward into the greater community.

They were all disputing about the war, about what Thu would do next, what A-lo would do next, what the CWG would do next. "Why do you talk only in abstractions?" he inquired suddenly, wondering as he spoke why he was speaking, when he had resolved not to. "It is not names of countries, it is people killing each other. Why do the soldiers go? Why does a man go kill strangers?"
