Our members voted, and we're proud to endorse @evanforcambridge.bsky.social for the 25th Middlesex. #mapoli

Evan MacKay, State Rep, 25th Middlesex

A delegation of IfNotNow members and staff – alongside our longtime movement partner, the Center for Jewish Nonviolence – are currently visiting the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel to meet with Palestinian partners and Israeli solidarity activists.

The co-founder of the 2024 National Uncommitted Movement, Abbas Alawieh, decisively won his primary to become a State Senator in Michigan. Abbas was endorsed by both Bernie Sanders and Gretchen Whitmer. Abbas Alawieh also privately met with former VP Kamala Harris last month upon her request.

It's one thing to have bad opinions on here, whatever, but I really don't want to hear about how antisemitic al-Sayed is from people paying the world's richest Nazi so they have extra characters to tweet about it

ive never cared much for jacobin nor current affairs personally. a journal isnt just their editorial leadership, but nathan's this goofy faux-posh dude, and its kinda bizarre how little sunkara interfaces with bdsa despite being FROM cambridge. i legit just assumed the guy lived in nyc or la lmao.

I don't want to be one of those "meta is recording our conversations" people but I finally watched Obsession, swear I didn't click like on anything, and immediately my instagram timeline is all Obsession stuff

@sunrisemvmt.bsky.social helped elect a new generation of leaders who came from our movements and brought those movements with them into the halls of power. Now, we’re bringing that fight to the Massachusetts State House.

On the eve of our Mega Canvass with @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social founder @varshiniprakash.bsky.social, it's such an honor to receive the endorsement of Sunrise Boston, as we fight together for the MA — and the world — we all deserve. I hope you'll join us tomorrow in Porter at noon! bdsa.us/Aug1st

TF: "Shotspotter is a technology that saves lives & solves crimes. It's important, I'll say it again Shotspotter is a technology that saves lives & solves crimes. It is not a surveillance system. It is not designed to record and collect data." « I think each of those statements is provably wrong? »

Maybe I’m persnickety but there’s a thing that gets my goat so now I’m doing a post about it. We don’t “send billions of dollars to Israel” that could be spent here. We spend them here! On weaponry produced by US corporations employing US workers. Then we send the product to Israel.

Over 100 volunteers came together for our biggest canvass yet because we believe Cambridge deserves a future worth fighting for: reliable public transit, clean air and water, and a government that answers to working people, not billionaire donors.
