This is an absolute failure from our state government. We are facing a housing crisis, an infrastructure crisis, a climate crisis, and so many more.

We have to invest these resources into our communities! Our people desperately need the help! #mapoli

State House News @statehousenews

NEW: A week after fiscal 2022 ended, Mass. Taxpayers Foundation estimates "historic" $3.6 billion state budget surplus. #mapoli

Hard to read that second post as anything other than a call for violence but hey, what do I know. #mapoli

Dean Tran having a very normal one since being indicted

And if I was very credibly accused of invading some random law abiding elderly constituent’s home to steal her guns I’m not sure I’d be posting about “good people bearing arms to fight against tyranny”

.@BrianEKennedy2 this is the truth!!! “Time and time again, this country has decided against democracy and the pursuit of liberty for all peoples and has instead chosen to protect accumulated wealth.” Super relevant to #mapoli current tax policy convos. #taxjusticeISracialjustice

Liberation in a Generation @liberation_gen

.@BrianEKennedy2 wrote a tour-de-force for our @NextCityOrg #HearUs4Justice column about the "stolen, and later coerced and exploited labor of Black workers [that] has underwritten the United States' survival and its successes." Don't sleep on it ⬇️

I am a lowest-level elected official (join your local ward committee!) and I gladly endorse pretty much all of this. #bospoli #mapoli

David Rothkopf @djrothkopf

I've worked in DC and in and around politics most of my adult life. Here are a bunch of reasons I have concluded along the way I could never be a politician:
1.) I believe the US Constitution is in need of a big overhaul, is profoundly out of date in key ways & flawed in others.

This story is unreal - and still unfolding. An entire town poisoned, possibly spread through contaminated ground water and toxic inputs being passed into organic waste streams.

Protecting our water and soil from contamination is more critical than ever. #mapoli
