"That we now must double our efforts to ensure that this widely popular change be implemented illustrates exactly why the audit is so needed: if our state leaders are willing to publicly ignore the will of the voters, what might they be doing behind closed doors?" - @scotia_h
Surprise, surprise: to close off a session where 112 of 132 Democrats voted with the Speaker 100% (!!) of the time, not a single Democratic rep voted against this blatant attempt to water down the voter's decision. recorder.com/Beacon-Hill-Ro…
🚨 CALL TO ACTION: DEFEND QUESTION 1🚨 Yesterday, the State House voted 135-10 for a rules change to appoint a private firm to conduct a financial audit of the legislature– ignoring MA voters 72% vote to grant @DianaDiZoglio the power to conduct a full legislative audit.🧵
Mass. House wants DiZoglio to choose outside firm for financial audit, mum on whether they’ll tweak Question 1 trib.al/hiPXubm
The stupidest and most ruinous outcome of 2024 would be Democrats deciding that they need to become more transphobic or racist, while continuing to cling to the same broken institutions that tens of millions of former Democratic voters have rejected. We *cannot* let this happen.
Seth Moulton telling @reidepstein that identity politics hurt dems “I have two little girls. I don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete. But as a Democrat, I'm supposed to be afraid to say that” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
Post-election take for your bingo card: MA House leadership chomping at the bit to make concessions to a party that got 36% of the vote in our state.
Even in deep-blue Massachusetts, Harris underperformed Biden. Dem Mass. House Speaker Ron Mariano says his party "must view this election not only as a wake up call, but...an opportunity to renew our focus on the issues that drove voters...towards the Republican Party" #mapoli
I need the Massachusetts Legislature to drop the bullshit and actually be the progressive beacon of hope that people think it is. The Feds aren’t coming to save us so we need to step up now. No more excuses.
all eyes on our state leaders in MA. voters re-elected Democratic supermajorities in both chambers and voted against Trump by 25+%. our state leaders have a democratic mandate & moral responsibility to act swiftly to protect their citizens from the worst to come #mapoli
This is great news because if Trump wins, we’re going to need a better state legislature in Massachusetts.
NEW: Mass. voters have approved a ballot measure giving @massauditor the power to investigate the Mass. Legislature, the @AP is projecting
Would be great to have MA join! A regular reminder that the MA senate has voted for this several times, and each time, the MA House blocked it. #mapoli
You can register to vote on Election Day in the following states: AK, CA, CO, CT, HI, ID, IL, IA, ME, MD, MI, MN, MT, NV, NH, NM, RI, UT, VM, VA, WA, WI, WY, + Washington, D.C.
Rep Connolly isn’t at fault here, but the only reason we’re here is because legislative leadership chose to not move on these things before the end of formal session. The Democratic supermajority created this problem and now they’re having to deal with the consequences. #mapoli
Just walked out of the House Chamber after witnessing Republican Leadership block passage of the comprehensive climate and clean energy siting and permitting bill. It’s disappointing that anyone would use parliamentary tactics to try to halt necessary progress on urgent climate…
I love when our governor or legislators say "A ballot question isn't the way to do this" about something. Yes, the correct way to do things is you doing your job. But that doesn't happen, so....
in personal news!
ICYMI we have a new executive director- Scotia Hille! @scotia_h is an AOM alum, having served as a regional organizer during the 2020-2021 People’s House campaign. Originally from Natick, MA, her background is in climate policy & organizing. We’re so excited to have her back!
Democrats who were running for president in 2020 ran on platforms of universal health care, stimulus checks, climate change, $15/min wage, housing, etc. How many of these policies came into fruition? They’ve had 3 yrs to show us exactly how “different” things would be.
Disappointed that MA's delegation @SenWarren & @SenMarkey declined to join @SenPeterWelch, @SenSanders & @SenJeffMerkley in opposing sending billions of taxpayer dollars overseas to perpetuate what is, unambiguously, a humanitarian crisis of catastrophic and horrific proportions.
Earlier this morning, I voted against the national security supplemental package. I cannot, in good faith, send more U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund Prime Minister Netanyahu’s relentless bombing campaign in Gaza.
*Tapping the sign*
The Democratic party continually demands that people turn out and vote to fight an extreme right they themselves are never willing to fight. This is becoming obvious to people
it’s impossible for me to square my life experience — with nothing ever remotely resembling horrors like this — with the reality that this is happening to a person right now. millions of people, right now. while i sit in a comfortable, warm home, feeling safe and healthy.

Let me just say it’s f*cked that AOSIS wasn’t in the room when #COP28 President gavelled the decision, and it was painful the way their objections after the fact were “noted”. These are the voices that have tirelessly pushed ambition into this process. We should have heard them.
Tears flowed and a lengthy rousing ovation during final plenary just now for AOSIS Chair #AnneRasmussen, as she delivered an emotional response filled with unsparing observations about the final outcomes from #COP28UAE
A good day to contemplate the war crimes we could stop right now
protests followed Biden to his Nantucket Thanksgiving retreat at private equity billionaire David Rubenstein's compound—chants of “we charge you with genocide” mixed with Christmas music as Biden cowered behind a children’s choir

Before smoking: too many bugs in this goddamn house!!!! After smoking: to be alive means to share the world with the rest of gods exquisite creations, who are we to say they belong any less
