Remember when Martha’s Vineyard residents had to deal with illegal aliens for two days in September courtesy of one Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL)?
This was after Labor Day and “the season” was starting to slow down. Suddenly, 49 men, women, and children appeared on the island. None of these liberals had ever seen anything like it — perhaps because they are on a literal island secluded from the Democrat policies causing the flood of illegal aliens.
Nonetheless, those hearty New Englanders dealt with the newcomers for a paltry 48 hours the best that they could.
For that Herculean task, The Boston Globe — the region’s largest Left-wing rag — has awarded the citizens of Martha’s Vineyard the title of “Bostonians of the Year.”
It should be noted that past recipients include Monica Cannon-Grant — a BLM-aligned activist who was arrested last March along with her husband Clark Grant. The two were federally charged and arrested on 18 counts of fraud and conspiracy in relation to her non-profit, Violence in Boston (VIB).
Over the summer, VIB shut its doors and Cannon-Grant requested unemployment assistance from the state.
Yet Cannon-Grant’s troubles of her own making are nothing compared to the plight that the denizens of the lily-white vacation spot of climate czar John Kerry and the Obamas had to go through (a fiasco also of their own making).

Babylon Bee?.......................
“Babylon Bee?”
Unbelievably it’s not. Smh
They won a prize. What, “The biggest jerks of the year”?
I just assumed the🐝. Our country is insane.
There’s no need for anyone to look up Monica. I took one for the team.
Unless you fly, you cannot get to Martha’s Vineyard in under 2 hours from Boston, maybe 3 is doable. Will the Globe be calling New Yorkers ‘ Bostonians of the Year ‘ next?’ The Globe is trash, nobody reads it anymore whom I know. I read it every day for over 20 years except when I was overseas. I bought my last copy in 1991, and by then it was little more then just habit. The local stores cannot even sell 5 copies a day. Years ago they sold easily 50-100.
We have become the Babylon Bee.
Cmon man...this is Massachusetts were talking about here. The virtue signaling here is mindnumbing all day everyday...why not memorialize it for posterity.
They gave themselves a major award?
They named some students who were not from Boston either.
A formerly good newspaper now trash,very woke trash.
.
They were just runners up…Bill Russell was named Bostonian of the Year.
.
Are those the same people who called up the National Guard to haul their “sanctuary island” guests to a fenced and barb wired camp on Cape Cod? I didn’t see AOC grasping at the chain link fence, bowing down and weeping for them.
Progressives giving progressives trophies. Now they’re part of the cool kids.
should be, ‘wins a prize for deporting illegal aliens within 48 hours’
