Progressive Mass

MA has 9 statewide ballot questions this year. Be an informed voter! #mapoli www.progressivemass.com/2026ballot/

What would Question 3's jungle primaries mean in MA? i turned to activists in CA, including here transportation advocate @carterlavin.bsky.social. What do we learn? Question 3 would mean more outside money and more negative campaigning. Hard pass. Vote NO on 3.

What do we know about Question 5? It'll force layoffs, just to give tax breaks to the super rich. On Tuesday, November 3rd, vote No on question 5. #NoOn5MA #mapoli

Already did by mail! I used your guidance on the ballot questions! Thanks!

Do you have a plan to vote, MA?

Remember, Massachusetts! Today is the last day to register to vote or update your registration before the November 3 election. www.sec.state.ma.us/ovr/

It's the spooky season. And the scariest thing in MA isn't any vampire, werewolf, or zombie, and it's not found in Salem. What is it? Ballot Question 3, 5, and 8. Remember to vote NO on 3, 5, and 8.

Reminder: you can vote early in MA this weekend & through Oct 30. More voting info @ www.LynnUnited.org Check this flyer for our recs on ballot questions YES on question 1, 2, 4, 7, 9 NO on questions 3, 5, 8 @progressivemass.bsky.social @nsprogressives.bsky.social

Ask yourself: if the goal is to increase democratic participation, why is this question funded by the very, very wealthy? mauricecunningham153.substack.com/p/its-a-man-...

"If its proponents’ objectives include empowering marginalized voices and minor parties, then increasing the costs while reducing the time to organize and campaign seems particularly unwise." commonwealthbeacon.org/opinion/all-...

Question #3 is a NO.

"....Look at what the top-two system has produced in California and Washington: vote-splitting lockouts, perverse incentives to game the primary, and pressure on candidates without big money to drop out." commonwealthbeacon.org/opinion/ques...

MA will be on such a list in the future if Question 4 passes. Vote YES on 4. thehill.com/homenews/616...

Why did the founder of Tinder donate to Question 3, the campaign to bring California-style top-two "jungle" primaries, to Massachusetts? I have a few ideas. Remember, Massachusetts: swipe left on Question 3. #mapoli

You want to become California for all the wrong reasons, Massachusetts? Because saying yes on 3 will do that.

Massachusetts!

@progressivemass.bsky.social recently celebrated the 15th anniversary of its founding conference, and I was so happy that we were able to get @harmonywho.bsky.social to write this retrospective. www.progressivemass.com/progressive-...

Boston Mayor @wutrain.bsky.social is a No on Question 5 "to protect funding for schools, libraries, hospitals, and the city services working families rely on every day.” For more information, visit: No5ma.com #NoOn5 #mapoli

There's only two weeks left until Election Day! #noon5ma #mapoli

Want an expert opinion on why YOU should vote NO on 5? Hear from Dr. Phineas Baxandall #noon5ma #mapoli #MApolitics

The racist War on Drugs devastated our communities, and we won’t go back. Vote NO on 8 to keep marijuana legal Massachusetts and protect racial & economic justice.

In a democracy, having many good candidates should be a blessing. Under the top-two “jungle primary” system of Question 3, having many good candidates becomes a curse. Here’s how. This isn’t voter choice. It’s voter suppression. Vote NO on 3.

"The claims of the Question 3 supporters about the change that the all-party primary system will deliver simply do not stack up to the evidence from our current system or their system as it exists elsewhere. "

The current electoral system is bad, but the top-two primary has been even worse in California and Washington. The majority party risks getting shut out of the general election when it has too many primary candidates, so party elites often pick favorites in contested primaries to avoid that outcome

Am finishing up my decisions on the ballot questions. One I am certain on is NO on Question 3. Unless you want private equity to determine who we choose for our top two candidates for election, of course. Then, have at it.

On #mapoli Q3, the Coalition for a Stealthy Oligarchy is dominating the Testosterone Derby. Of 59 individual donations over $50,000, 57 are from men, most in high finance. The top 5 have kicked in over $3,000,000. mauricecunningham153.substack.com/p/massachuse...

Vote splitting can leave voters with no representation in the November election at all. And the ultra wealthy can manipulate elections by funding spoiler candidates to crowd the field. Don’t be fooled by private equity. Vote no on Question 3.

What's revealing to me about Question 3 (jungle primaries) is that they almost never actually tlak about one of the major changes in their ballot question. And that’s because it undermines all the (dishonest) messaging they put out.

This evening and next Wednesday, phone bank for No on 3, and help defeat this attempt to buy the bay state’s elections! #mapoli www.mobilize.us/massdems/eve...

I am voting no on question 3 in Massachusetts because every single ad I see on Instagram is yes on three and that tells me there’s some rich assholes who really want that to pass. #mapoli #NoOn3

Have you voted yet? The last day to register is coming up quickly. #VoteEarly #BlueWave

@ayannapressley.bsky.social is right. We cannot let private equity rig Massachusetts elections with Question 3.

Massachusetts voters: I found this cheat sheet to be super helpful to get a quick understanding of the ballot questions this year.

I voted early with a big NO on 3.

🗳️💪

On the ballot questions: 3/5/8 ain't great! www.progressivemass.com/2026-ballot-...

Thank you to our JP community! 🙏 ♥️ mailchi.mp/jpprogressiv... Make some time this week to volunteer with a ballot campaign—you can do it from home and the impact will be huge. We're especially concerned about the No on 3 and No on 5 campaigns!!

Massachusetts, here's our chance to prove we're smarter than California. (Also, a cautionary tale.) Vote No on Question 3. And tell all your friends to, too.

Private equity & billionaires are pouring millions on Question 3 to buy MA elections & rig them in favor of the ultra-wealthy. I'm with @voterrightsma.bsky.social & a grassroots coalition to say HELL NO to Question 3 so we can keep power in the hands of the people. www.facebook.com/share/v/1CQd...

Why are private equity execs flocking to Question 3? It's because they think it's a good for their bank accounts and a way to crush nascent working-class populism. I unpack it in the piece here. working-mass.com/2026/10/19/o...

To understand the impact of a top-two primary, we turned to friends in California who have seen how it played out. Here's long-time climate activist RL Miller, who explains how it's been a way for Big Business to buy legislative seats and crush progressives. Massachusetts, vote NO on 3.
