U.S. Senator Ed Markey (D-Massachusetts) is one of the most left-wing members of the United States Congress and yet, many of his left-of-center supporters are unhappy with a recent statement he made.
In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Markey supports the State of Israel, to the dismay of some. As of Thursday morning, more than 450 people and organizations had signed a petition calling on Markey to stand with the Palestinian people.
If you go to a high school baseball or softball game in Massachusetts this year, you may notice something that looks a bit different from the CDC guidelines.
The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association developed rules for spring sports this season in response to the coronavirus pandemic. This comes after the organization that governs athletic programs for most public and private schools in the state cancelled spring sports altogether last year because of the virus. Notably, in outdoor spring sports, the players must wear face masks at all times. This includes high school baseball outfielders who are standing by themselves, as a NewBostonPost reporter saw at three separate high school baseball games earlier this month.
