August 16, 2008 By Charley on the MTA 14 Comments

Furthermore, MA is unlikely to be an electoral battleground, which can actually lead to a sense of complacency and even powerlessness. I'm interested in finding out what we can do to help battleground states -- even beyond NH. Can we … [Read more...]

Then, #Brookline TMM @TommyVitolo stood up for what used to be his principles.

Now as rep, Tommy stands up for @RonMariano and votes down transparency measures he used to fight for as a TMM

What happened, Tommy? #MApoli

Ryan Black 🌹 @thatRyanBlack

What’s tragic about @TommyVitolo’s refusal to vote to make House committee votes publicly recorded

is that while in TownMeeting, he spilled a lot of ink in support of TM (+ TMMA) recording votes

constituents are always owed transparency not only when it’s politically convenient https://twitter.com/bklnecoalition/status/1557385318512443394

This is why we say ACAB and don’t consider 🐷 to be a part of the labor movement. They do the bidding of the rich. They do not stand in solidarity with us. They are class traitors and Starbucks is waging a war on its own workers. If you can, head to 874 Commonwealth Ave ASAP. https://twitter.com/bostonsbwu/status/1557383321591635969

Ricardo Arroyo has a 'Do Not Prosecute' list. Violent crime has risen in every city where "Progressive" DAs have implemented similar strategies. A vote for Arroyo is a vote for crime.

Well done, @TommyVitolo campaign treasurer tells #Brookline State Reps who maintain a legislative system that is so broken it barely works, constantly killing critical legislation.

It simply doesn’t have to be this way. But it has been for FAR too long. #MApoli

In 1972, USS NEWPORT NEWS imperfectly performed combat mission after combat mission, achieving major objectives, and making real mistakes, some fatal. @SECNAV awarded us a #NavyUnitCommendation, the unit equivalent of the #SilverStar. I wear it proudly. BZ Brookline Reps! https://twitter.com/bklnecoalition/status/1557385318512443394
