WBUR reports on the planned IPO of Dunkin' Brands and notes that the filing states there is one Dunk's for every 9,700 people in New England and New York. That ratio has got to be way lower within 128, right?

The Globe reports the MBTA board decided today not to change its policy and ask parents to fold up strollers on T trains and buses.

The vote came after mothers showed up at a board meeting today to express their displeasure at the idea.

Googiebaba discussed the organizing moms did:

The mothers have mobilized. You wouldn't know because you aren't on our listservs. But while you making your pretty fingers bleed posting comments on web sites, they have been organizing. They are writing letters, contacting elected officials, going to meetings and making a plan of attack. I would have put in a good word for you, but I decided that I hate you.

An anarchist group is taking credit for smashing windows at three Upper Crust restaurants on Sunday. According to a posting on Boston Indymedia:

Early on the morning of May Day, Boston anarchists smashed the windows on three Upper Crust Pizzerias. This chain was targeted because the owners of the chain have been making millions of dollars while exploiting their immigrant employees. ... This action was done on the morning of May Day to both stand in solidarity with Upper Crust workers as well as celebrate the international day of worker and immigrant rights and struggles, which are still going on today.

This struggle is a result of the inherent oppression within the capitalist system and will not end until this system is dismantled and replaced.

Banks and stores south of Boston are being advised to watch out for a guy who puts pennies in dime wrappers and then trades them in for bills.

He's successfully pulled off his subterfuge in three banks and a Dunkin' Donuts, police say.

If you see him, contact Easton Police at 508-230-3322.
