The so-called Antisemitism Awareness Act is in the Senate. It's an attack on free speech, and on Jews who criticize Israel. Please call Sen. Markey (617-565-8519) and Sen. Warren (617-565-3170) and ask them to vote AGAINST it. I wrote an op-ed: commonwealthbeacon.org/opinion/anti... #MAPoli

@mcc I'm not familiar with the second and third options, but we've *gotta* make a change here fast. Our electoral-media system is so wildly f*cked. Seeing signs for Ranked Choice here in Boston. I think it's past time that Massachusetts vote again on something else that isn't first-past-the-post

Heard a rumor that Bob Kraft was lending the Patriots jet to the regime to aid in disappearing people, but the only source I can find is a YouTube video hosted by an anchor cat, so I'm assuming it's made up though of course totally credible. #boston #MAPoli

Terminating funding for Roca will make people in Massachusetts less safe. Their work against violence and recidivism is among the most effective there is. #MApoli

Republicans not holding town halls , dems showing up in R counties and holding town halls and people are showing up. Nobody had Bernie and aoc holding rally’s in Idaho on their bingo halls #mapoli

Continued thread

Ooh a shouting from the audience. Angela a federal worker wants Dems to be talking to the public every day about what they’re actually doing. Not “showing up with a knife to a gun fight” #mapoli

Q2 - gets into budget stuff. The cruelty is the point; there’s nothing efficient about making people hungrier poorer or sicker.

“On Elon Musk and his DOGE bros”. As a special government employee he can only serve in that capacity for 130 days, on May 30th we plan to fire Elon Musk. #mapoli

Q2 (summarized) what are you doing to stop the trump-musk admin from taking away social security. Ayanna itemizes a lot of things trump/doge is doing. Dem offensive strategy is 3 part - Litigation/legislation/agitation/organization. #mapoli

Continued thread

Q1 what is happening with the SAVE act? “They mean to make America Jim Crow again”. It’s voter suppression plain and simple - passed the house, 4 dems voted yes #mapoli

Continued thread

Ayanna is glad to be in somerville. Back from Louisiana this morning. Has met with #rumeysaozturk - rumeysa said when she was transferred to shackles she felt she was sure she was going to be killed. But that she was going to be tortured first. #mapoli
