At 8:00 a.m., a new queue forms: the first batches of food are passed through the kitchen service windows, staffed by apron-clad volunt…See the Story

Those are the findings of The Shoestring’s investigation of the Chicopee Police Department’s new Real Time Crime Center — a massive surveillance network powered by software from policing technology firms including Axon Enterprise, Axis Communications, Milestone Systems, …Read Article

Editorial: The time is right for public grantmaking for Mass media

If you’ve read The Shoestring’s newsletters or fundraising emails in the last few years, or come to one of our events, you might have heard me say something like, “nobody has figured out the trick to funding local news, or else we’d all be doing it.” And it’s true. Display ads and classifieds — two of the pillars that supported legacy newspapers during their heyday — were both undercut by Google, Facebook, and Craigslist, and as readers began to…Massachusetts · Massachusetts Read Article

Doxing, death threats, deportation: How the far right stifled campus activism and sent ICE after a local student

When the right-wing Zionist organization Betar tweeted on April 8, it directly targeted a Hampshire College student from Turkey. “We identify Efe Ercelik as one here on visa and we have submitted his name for deportation,” the tweet read. “There’s so many of these bastards nationwide he’s an egregious one in Massachusetts, a rotten state.” The social media post appeared to have an immediate impact. Just one day later, the federal government sil…Gaza · Gaza Read Article
