Excited to be supporting Burhan Azeem for State Senator. His kickoff campaign event is tomorrow night. Please join me and @bmcavin.bsky.social for this event and show your support for more #housing and better #transit in Massachusetts.

I'm just so angry that they are firing my people when I had to endure my teacher leading the class in applause when JFK was assassinated. She didn't get fired but her descendants are all hot and bothered because we disparage a racist.
Hmmm. I'm a #NoKings urban boomer who grew up in the Bible Belt. I'm not comfortable with Talarico's religious enthusiasm. I know he is an antidote to all the right wing MAGA evangelicals but I'm still not comfortable with it.
NONE OF THIS would be happening today if it hadn't been for Julie K. Brown's (@jkbjournalist.bsky.social) journalistic work on the Epstein story.
Deep, deep gratitude...

Thank you!!!
Update from Housing Court, after I spent the past four days working to stop the eviction of a longtime constituent by invoking an eviction protection law I passed on Beacon Hill. โโค๏ธ๐
Like our streets, our sidewalks are a public resourceโand our city policies should treat that them way when it comes to snow clearance

"[W]e should see our shared humanity in any victim of fascism, whatever the personโs race, gender, or politics. If Americans internalize that, then we might really advance the cause of justice and the quest for a more perfect nation."
"Sadly, a larger swath of Americans โ white men and gun-owners, for example โ might only have been stirred when the victim turned out to be someone who closely resembled themselves and people they know."
So frustrated when Kamala's campaign was criticized for identity politics. I get that we needed to expand the identities but, honestly, it was Trump's campaign that was all about identity, not Kamala's.

I wish I had known. I would never have volunteered to help get him elected.
This is one of the reasons, I can't stand Platner. He reminds me of Fetterman.
Friday Jan 30 is a call for a national shutdown
NO WORK. NO SCHOOL. NO SHOPPING. VOTE NO TO ICE FUNDING.

LIZA DONNELLY's cartoon of 2 snowmen, one saying "I wish I could get to Minneapolis to help somehow." The second one responding, "Me too. They don't need snow, probably."

โHeartbroken but also very angryโฆ sickening lies by the administrationโฆ reprehensible and disgustingโฆ Alex is clearly not holding a gunโฆ please get the truth out about our son, he was a good manโฆโ
It's not only worthwhile in the larger world but definitely an antidote to being overwhelmed by awful news. I love this group, The Singing Resistance, that has formed in Minneapolis.

How about โdonโt vote to fund this government at all until ICE is reined in.โ
This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.
Thousands singing โHey-Oh, we wonโt be silent while our friends are gunned down.โ
Really listen to it.
โDo not get lost in a sea of despair.โ

Don't forget, he did win a Senate seat. I fear that if Trump doesn't see out his term, Vance will cause even more harm than Trump has. He might be a weirdo and he might even lose the 2028 election but he's still dangerous.
The President of the United States appears to be getting regular IV infusions, the public doesnโt know anything about it, & the DC media evidently doesnโt care.
We are months into the mystery of Trumpโs hands, the White House is lying, & Iโve seen a grand total of one serious news story about it.
Historian here people forget the immigration regime being championed by the Trump regime and its bigoted heart in Miller. Make America 1924 again.
I enjoyed the 2017 movie "The Man Who Invented Christmas."

Please donโt lecture us by claiming that Republicans care about drug traffickers or people suffering from addiction while Trump has pardoned several of the most notorious drug traffickers in history and funding is cut for rehab programs.
Hernรกndez bragged he would shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos. He is responsible for bringing more than 500 tons of cocaine into the United States - photos of Hernรกndez, a child and a young person snorting coke. Trump & Hernรกndez thumbs up. Trump pardons Juan Orlando Hernรกndez while blowing up fishermen on small boats who might be fishing or might be smuggling drugs. Trump pardons Hernรกndez while threatening war with Venezuela - small boat of fishermen and a map of western hemisphere highlighting USA & Venezuela with photos of Trump and Venezuela's president, Maduro.
Hernรกndez bragged he would shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos and yet Trump pardons him while at the same time blowing up fishermen who MIGHT have drugs on their small boats.
Trump pardons a drug lord while threatening war with Venezuela.
A president utterly out of control.
