If ⁦@BillGalvin4MA⁩ hadn’t BLOCKED a lawsuit in 2017 challenging the state’s requirement that eligible voters register 20 days before an election, we would have same-day voter registration today. His reason? “Paperwork.” This moment demands so much more #mapoli #democracy

This move is:

A) Harmful (more kids will be labeled "failing" during an ongoing pandemic)
B) Backwards (only 11 states use graduation exams, down from 27)
C) Un-democratic (225 of 229 public comment were against this)
D) All of the above!

This comparison is beyond repugnant. I wish I could say #mapoli is better than this, but here we are...

Patrick Kearney @RepKearney

On January 6, people DIED, because Trump told lies about election integrity. @cdempc says he voted in every election since 06 but is shown skipping ‘16 and ‘20 primaries . Can we get some clarification @BillGalvin4MA @Tanisha4MA @DianaDiZoglio? #mapoli

Thread 1/3
Is @marcela_elisa working for the Arroyo campaign? She made a big deal about Mijente endorsing Arroyo. In her Globe article she implied that Mijente was a large organization. Boy was she trying to pull the wool over everyones eyes!!
