Not that anyone asked me, but I am solidly supporting Tram Nguyen in the race to replace Seth Moulton for US Congress (MA 6th District). She is smart, reliably progressive, and has a track record you can check for yourself. She was a law school classmate of my law partner and went on to be a civil legal aid attorney for crime victims. Then she flipped her state rep district from a MAGA lunatic (and chair of the MA Republican party). LFG. #MApoli #Massachusetts https://www.tramforcongress.com/issues

The #Massachusetts legislature continues to respond robustly to the threats posed by our fascist federal government. They certainly haven't done everything I think they should, but the stuff they're doing is real and substantive. This is important legislation that was just passed and is on its way to the governor's desk for her signature: https://malegislature.gov/PressRoom/Detail?pressReleaseId=1458 #politics #USPol #MAPoli #MALeg

For those following the MA state senate seat to replace Pat Jehlen this fall: https://www.gottaknowmedford.com/20260717_five-democrats-pour-nearly-500-000-into-open-2nd-middlesex-race/ For what it's worth, my vote is undecided at this time. I’m not voting for Barber and definitely definitely not voting for Hopcroft. #MApoli #SomerPoli

🚨 Massachusetts: Housing program under Governor Healey has been giving $ millions to politically-connected people who either do shoddy work or lie about doing any at all. #Boston Globe: https://www.bostonglobe.com/video/2026/06/25/metro/investigations/spotlight/boston-globe-spotlight-team-how-two-developers-took-advantage-of-a-state-affordable-housing-program/ Two men receiving most of the cash had recently sold a house to the person in charge of grants - so the money appears to be a kickback. Unless serious action is taken to retrieve these tax dollars (+penalty) by September, this governor def needs to go. #housing #MAPoli #Massachusetts

Not as bad. But as described, I don’t see how it would work without running into the same data harvesting/breach/privacy problems as other bills.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@eff/116467123144167468 This bill is in the Senate now. It passed the house. MA folk, write your State Senator to oppose. #MApoli #BosPoli #Massachusetts

Absolutely not. All I'm getting from Rollins running again is that she can't find enough work in the private sector. It is mystifying to me that she considers this job "hers" in some way; she needed to put her finger on the scale re: her replacement when she left, and now she's running for it again. Don't get me started on how awful Hayden is--I knew exactly what he was doing--but that doesn't make Rollins a good candidate. https://www.wgbh.org/news/politics/2026-04-08/rachael-rollins-pulls-papers-to-run-for-suffolk-da #mapoli #boston #corruption

And speaking of #corruption I want Tompkins officially out--voted out--but it almost seems as if there's an endemic problem with the sheriff's office. #mapoli https://www.masslive.com/news/2026/04/suffolk-sheriffs-dept-members-earning-over-200k-surges-amid-spending-scrutiny.html
