In defense of Boston-area municipal clean energy programs
Advertisement These programs support renewable energy investments and jobs, let renters choose clean energy, and maintain competitive prices. Since its start, Somerville's basic rate has been below Eversource's basic rate for 16 out of 17 rate cycles, and Somerville's default rate has been below Eversource's basic rate for 15 out of 17 rate cycles. A true accounting of Somerville's program shows we have saved 29,000 annual participants a total of $26 million since July 2017 compared with Eversource. Get The Gavel A weekly SCOTUS explainer newsletter by columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr. Enter Email Sign Up That's why Katjana Ballantyne Mayor of Somerville Consider the full impact of Boston Community Choice program Your recent article on the Boston Community Choice Electricity program presents a misleading picture of the program's costs and uses inflated assumptions about the electricity usage of Boston residents to estimate savings. Advertisement The article's first chart implies that BCCE charges residents more than Eversource for electricity. This is deeply misleading. Data filed with the Department of Public Utilities indicate that since the launch of BCCE in 2021, the average customer on the standard, or default, plan has saved approximately $800 compared with Eversource basic service. Further, the article inflates how much residents can save by switching from the standard to the basic plan. It assumes a monthly usage of 900 kilowatt-hours, while the city's data show the average BCCE customer uses less than 420 kWh per month — more than doubling the estimated bills and savings of the average resident. Within Greater Boston, aggregation programs have been a resounding success. Of the 81 municipalities served by Eversource and National Grid, 61 have aggregation programs, with eight more launching this year or awaiting approval. While there are opportunities to improve communications about program options and to see that low-income customers are automatically enrolled into the most affordable tier, aggregation programs are a proven way for municipalities to both save residents money and promote greater usage of renewable electricity.

Rock band reinvites Trump voters to shows after getting death threats
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is reinviting Donald Trump fans to shows after the band received an influx of death threats for previously banning Trump voters. 'Yo, what's up?' frontman Ronnie Winter said in a video posted to the band's Instagram Wednesday, July 2. 'Tour was rescheduled due to death threats. I'm going to go live tonight.' 'It's called a pivot guys,' the singer concluded. The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus has shows scheduled through November, according to their website. The band will perform at Crystal Ballroom in Somerville on Aug. 24. Winter said in an Instagram video posted Saturday, June 14 that 'if you are a Christian and you're watching this and you voted for Donald Trump,' then 'you are not allowed to come to my shows.' 'I don't want you there. It's awesome that you love 'Face Down.' Its not for you. It's not your song,' the frontman said, referring to his band's most popular song. 'If you voted for Donald Trump, do not come to my shows forever, not just like these four years. Don't come to my shows because you are going to hear a lot of woke propaganda, and you are going to hear the actual words of Jesus,' the singer continued. 'You are going to see a lot of words of acceptance from all areas of life and races. You are just going to see a lot of harmony, OK. That's not what you are about. Don't come. Refunds are available. Forever don't come.' In the days since Winter first forbid Trump supporters from attending the shows, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus shared a different message on social media. 'GOD's invitation of LOVE into its heavenly kingdom is open to EVERYONE,' the band wrote in an June 17 Instagram post. 'Let's stop trying to manipulate the Heavenly Fathers invitation,' the post reads. 'For a second didn't it feel weird to not be invited to our events? Let it sink in guys. Obviously EVERYONE is invited to our events but leave the dividing topics out.' By that time, Trump fans had already been firing back at The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. 'Now you're Dead jumpsuit apparatus cus you killed your career,' one comment read. Another individual wrote, 'The Left loves to market itself as the movement of peace, love and up until you disagree.' The band and Winter also faced backlash for disabling comments on certain Instagram posts and privatizing their X accounts. 'Smart move turning off comments...,' another comment reads. 'Your entire fan base from the 2000s' are all tired of the liberal BS and you make the stupid mistake of pandering to the wrong side? Good luck, boys.. Good Luck...' 'Hey Ronnie Winter, first you block anyone who disagrees after you speak about love and tolerance. Now, you turn off comments' another commenter said. 'Sounds hypocritical. You need to come to terms that not everyone thinks like you. Accept disagreements and move on.' The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus formed in 2003 in Middleburg, Florida. The emo-pop band is best known for its 2006 major-label debut, 'Don't Fake It.' The platinum-certified project peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard 200 and contained the smash hit 'Face Down.' The single peaked at No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has since been certified five-times platinum by the RIAA. The band has released four more albums — 'Lonely Road' (2009), 'AM I the Enemy' (2011), '4″ (2014) and 'The Awakening' (2018) — but none have matched the success of their debut. Iconic '80s band makes surprise appearance at pop star's UK show Famous rock singer responds after booed at historic farewell concert Groundbreaking punk band plays final live show in Amsterdam Influential '90s rock band loses member after 27 years: 'We wish him well' '60s pop icon 'feeling much better' after hospitalized with 'extreme pain' Read the original article on MassLive.

Under Trump's Crackdown, a New Crop of Immigrant Rights Groups Rises
The call came into the hotline one afternoon in March: A group of officers, masked and in plainclothes, were taking away a young woman in a hijab. ''Someone is being kidnapped!'' the caller said to Danny Timpona, the operator who answered the phone. His group, the LUCE Immigrant Justice Network of Massachusetts, had been preparing for such a moment. Within minutes, Mr. Timpona sent out volunteers to verify the report in Somerville, a suburb northwest of Boston. When they arrived to empty streets, they began knocking on doors, looking for anyone who could help them piece together what occurred. One neighbor offered footage from a home security camera. The video, which has since racked up millions of views, captured agents from the Department of Homeland Security surrounding Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish citizen and doctoral student at Tufts University who spent the next six weeks in detention. It gave the nation one of the earliest scenes of the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration. A crop of grass-roots immigrant rights networks like Mr. Timpona's has been rising across the country to try to halt President Trump's agenda of mass deportation. They aimto quickly corroborate the presence of immigration officers. They document apprehensions that might otherwise go unnoticed. And they spread the word on social media about people being detained. These groups have recently been most visible in Los Angeles, where an immigration raid at a clothing wholesaler prompted a rapid response from activists who confronted federal agents. Days of protests followed. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
