Regarding the proposed 40B project in North Plymouth and [Select Board Chair Kevin] Canty’s letter [to the state regarding it], I wonder how we can check the veracity of the following: “In the letter, Canty wrote that the town has become overrun with 40b projects that have ‘placed considerable strain on town services and the […]

I write in support of the mission and pray for the safety of ICE agents who were enforcing long-standing immigration laws in North Plymouth, a job embarrassingly made more difficult and dangerous in this state where local law enforcement is prohibited from cooperating. Some suggest that remaining in the country without authorization is a civil crime […]

In cities across the Commonwealth, disturbing scenes are unfolding: masked individuals are seizing people from the streets and forcing them into unmarked vehicles—detaining them without granting access to legal counsel or even a phone call. These chilling tactics evoke the “little green men” Russia deployed in Crimea, and they have no place in a democratic […]

Your description of Long Beach is accurate and informative. I would just add that the impression you describe from the sticker checking hut to the entrance to the 4×4 road is easily improved.

I agree entirely with Theodore Bosen’s letter to the editor, “ICE’s actions here and elsewhere are unconstitutional.”  I’m so sick and tired of people calling them “illegal.” Trump labeled them all during his campaign as just that and it remains and is spread as fact by the uninformed right-wing population who take Trump’s words as […]

Two important bills addressing sand mining in Massachusetts were the subject of a State House hearing before the Joint Committee on Environment and Natural Resources on June 3. House Bill 918 and House bill 948 will put a one-year moratorium on sand mining in Southeastern Massachusetts and establish a committee to study the effects of […]

Stafford Hill Assisted Living hosted a LGBTQ+ art show at its residence on Thursday, June 12, where both residents and community members gathered to admire work featuring one of their very own residents, Gerald Donelan. Gerard Donelan (pen name Donelan), a 76-year-old American cartoonist, was part of the first wave of openly LGBTQ+ cartoonists. Born […]

On a warm June evening under the bright lights of the Plymouth North High School football field, close to 100 spectators gathered to witness something truly special: a “Super Bowl” showdown between teams made up of middle school girls from Plymouth Public Schools’ first-ever girls flag football league. This event wasn’t just a game – […]
