Governor's comments on Anthony DiPierro 

“People like that should not be serving in office, it’s quite simple,”  https://www.wgbh.org/news/politics/2022-05-20/healey-calls-on-everett-city-councilor-to-resign-over-racist-comments Healey said to applause from the audience during Friday’s  taping of Boston Public Radio at the Boston Public Library.

 

Fletcher’s ability to play a totally unhinged character, who, yes, we would now call a Karen, is what the late actress is best remembered for. And Invaders from Mars gives her the opportunity to go full Karen in a horror-movie way rather than the psychological chills of Cuckoo's Nest, or the complex sci-fi geopolitics of Deep Space Nine. She’s terrifying, and what makes her scary is the realism of her behavior. We can all imagine a Louise Fletcher type in our own lives, which is why her turn in Invaders from Mars is such a fantastic example of why she was a wonderful actress.

Fletcher doesn’t fully fix the clunkiness of Invaders from Mars, which is inferior to its 1953 progenitor if only because it feels more cynical. But if you’re serious about fully understanding what makes certain genre characters work, revisiting the work of an underrated master like Louise Fletcher in Invaders from Mars will make your sci-fi education more robust and weirder than ever before.

“The failure of management and the landlord to assure peaceful enjoyment for all tenants is unlawful, according to the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.”—Office of the Attorney General Advisory. Either the aggrieved tenant or the Attorney General can file a civil case. Most tenants in housing cannot afford a legal action, and have great difficulty finding an attorney willing to do a housing case, and the Attorney General rarely, if ever, intervenes.

The final rule on hostile environment harassment under the Fair Housing Act covers the rights of members of protected classes. Complaints can be filed with HUD or the state commission, MCAD; usually, complaints to HUD are sent to MCAD. At present it is not clear if HUD will intervene. MCAD deals with alleged violations of civil rights; the Commonwealth has an expanded set of protected classes. MCAD has a backlog of cases and their procedures are reported to be difficult without the assistance of an attorney.

When a local housing authority fails in their legal responsibility to protect tenants from harassment and assure their right of quiet / peaceful enjoyment, EOHLC does not intervene, and may not have the authority or resources to act, so far as we know.  

The need for some form of accountability and intervention is clear. In a statewide survey of bullying done in 2017 by the Commission on Bullying, almost half of respondents (most respondents were tenants in public and subsidized housing) reported experiencing or observing bullying in their housing. Because of the fear of retaliation, many did not seek relief. Of those few who did seek relief, only a small percentage reported receiving a remedy or relief.
