This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Remember, friends: Vote no on 3, 5, and 8. These are the questions we hate! #mapoli

Time is running out for Rhode Islanders who want to vote by mail in the upcoming general election. Details: https://www.wpri.com/news/elections/ris-mail-ballot-request-deadline-is-oct-13/

“They’re kids! They’re kids!” Monstrous. Abolish ICE.

🔥 @jumaane.bsky.social : “They’re going to try to make the gentleman they shot the worst human you’ve ever heard of… a father picking up his child was shot by a rogue agency controlled by Trump. That’s what occurred. He represents evil. He is doing the Devil’s work.” #AbolishICE

I'd rather have an economy that makes 1,000 millionaires than 1 billionaire.

New Bedford and Fall River are still experiencing heavy ICE presence. See ICE? Call LUCE at 617-370-5023.

A helpful run-down on the 9 statewide ballot questions! #mapoli

Hear me out, people: what if instead of "Super Intelligence", we call it "Trump Intelligence"?

I'm in love.

Congratulations and profound gratitude to @hcrichardson.bsky.social on the occasion of this well-deserved honor!

ask and ye shall receive

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:

Wishing Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson a very happy birthday! Thank you for all you do to uphold the rule of law, defend the right to vote by mail, and protect democracy in our nation.

❗👇 🚨

When it comes to ballot questions, follow the money. The funding for Question 3 isn’t coming from democracy advocates. It’s coming from private equity execs and venture capitalists who bankroll education privatization, conservative Dems, and Republicans across the country. #NoOn3

Elon Musk is bankrolling an ad campaign to get you to check your voter registration through an innocent-sounding website. But his real goal is to collect and sell your personal data to advertising companies, Big Tech, and other Republican PACs.

Republicans promising that gas prices will go down after the midterms:

Absolutely amazing.

We are excited about the victories from endorsed candidates last Tuesday, but not all of our endorsed candidates won. To our endorsed candidates who didn't win: We are still proud of all the work you put into the campaign, and we are excited to see what you do next.

A whistleblower represented by Whistleblower Aid says #USPS secretly kept building Trump's mail-ballot restriction system after telling #Congress in writing it was complying with court orders blocking it. A federal judge has now confirmed the violation. #MailBallot Here’s what you need to know.

Corrupt multi million corporations and Mr. Dictator Trump directly benefit off the backs of hard working Americans. They only care to make more money for themselves. Making the average life of American citizens more expensive and difficult is their goal in the end. @agirlwithnopresident

@edmarkey.bsky.social has always shown up for Massachusetts with conviction and courage. Now, he needs us to show up for him on Tuesday and send him back to the Senate.

Reminder: If you have a mail ballot, put it in a dropbox now instead of sending it through the mail. It's too close to Primary Day to guarantee it arrives on time. Mail ballots need to be received by 8 pm on Tuesday.

Public opinion could not be clearer. The American people do not like data centers and do not want them built in their towns.

The primary is next Tuesday! Check out all of our endorsements here. #mapoli www.progressivemass.com/our-2026-can...

Super disappointing but not surprising to see a visibly shaking & struggling Bill Keating tonight try to make the repulsive & untrue implication @craigforcongress.bsky.social opposes Hakeem Jeffries for a reason other than his failure to fight for democracy, the working class, or Medicare for all.

Gorey, Gorey, hallelujah!

Lot of comments in this thread from people in CA explaining why MA voters should vote NO on 3. #mapoli

The choice in this election couldn't be clearer. Bill Keating voted for the #CORCA bill, which would give ICE & the rest of DHS increased power to combine surveillance across retail security cameras, #Flock cameras, facial recognition, and personal data.

MA friends! Are there offices on the ballot you are undecided about? Happy to answer questions!

A New Bedford officer was suspended earlier this year after investigators determined she did not render medical aid to a woman who later died after being hit by a car. Story: https://www.wpri.com/news/local-news/se-mass/new-bedford-officer-suspended-for-not-aiding-victims-after-deadly-crash/

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

Name your fav non-franchise science fiction film.

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."
