🚨Good news and bad news! Do 🫵YOU🫵 know when the election is?!
Proud to earn the endorsement of Somerville For Palestine, an immense grassroots movement that has organized for years to end our government’s immoral support for Israel’s atrocities in Palestine.
a thing about these “priorities” is that they cannot be achieved without comprehensive Supreme Court reform, which means THAT is your actual priority
Daniel Drezner@dandrezner.bsky.social · 3w agoKlein asks Allen what liberals should prioritize if they win the trifecta in 2028. Allen suggests the following: 1) Putting an end to Citizens United; 2) Creation of national service; 3) Ending gerrymandering
🚨🚨VOTE BY MAIL - SIGN UP TO RECEIVE YOUR BALLOT NOW! The election is on September 1, a very weird day when many people are traveling, moving, or distracted - DON’T GET CAUGHT WITHOUT A PLAN TO VOTE!
✊Thank you Senator Jamie Eldridge & @jonathancohn.bsky.social for coming to help us knock doors in Somerville this morning!
🍕🎳Thank you to everyone who made our kid-friendly campaign party such a blast! Great to see so many friends, and colleagues ✊ And a HUGE thanks to the amazing people at 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨'𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐰𝐥 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 - the best!
✊Thrilled to have the endorsement of my friend and former colleague Mark Niedergang, a longtime progressive leader who truly knows what it means to serve the public.
🏡Somerville only re-legalized them in 2019, but if you look around, “accessory dwelling units” (aka “ADUs” or “backyard cottages”) already exist all over the city. I’m glad that we helped lead the way to make it easier to create new ones.
✊So inspired to walk the picket line with Mass Nurses Association, fighting for patient safety and fair pay, not corporate greed. Somerville has your back 1000%.
"The housing affordability crisis is the single biggest issue facing people in Massachusetts, and I'm thrilled to work alongside Abundant Housing to tackle it head on.” Proud to be endorsed by @abundanthousingma.org
“Looking at the fruit fly nervous system, it’s pretty clear that there is no ‘me,’ which actually threatens my sense of who I am.”

One year after Trump signed his “big, beautiful bill,” it has begun reshaping the country. At least 4 million people have lost food stamps. Millions more will lose healthcare. Refugees and other legal immigrants are getting kicked off the safety net. And the wealthiest Americans have gotten richer.

🛞Extraordinarily proud to earn the endorsement of UAW Region 9A, a powerhouse of worker power - and, my own union! (At my day job, my colleagues and have unionized as Harvard Academic Workers ✊) @uaw.org @haw-uaw.bsky.social
I’ve been honored to support the Mass Nurses Association on many occasions during my time on the Council, and now with two young kids I would honestly walk over broken glass to stand in solidarity with their fight for fair pair and safe working conditions. Extremely proud to earn their endorsement ✊
On the same day that the Supreme Court released its latest incomprehensibly cruel, racist, and radical attack on immigrants, the City Council was honoring the extraordinary public service of Regina Bertholdo, who has spent decades helping immigrants, homeless families & many more in our community.
