Article 19, petitioned by 5 Brookline PAX Board members, calls for the removal via the 25th Amendment of a President obviously lacking in mental acuity and soundness of mind to responsibly carry out the duties of his office.
No. We voted overwhelmingly for residential expansion along Harvard Street. We want to grow, and especially close to transit. My main argument against a proliferation of commercial signs is that it discourages exactly the residential growth we want.
WA13 would have discouraged housing development along the Harvard St. corridor. Brookline needs more housing and our businesses need more customers. That’s a win/win that PAX supports
It’s up to those proposing a change from the status quo to make a compelling argument, supported by data or not. Petitioners failed to do so in the case of WA13, and Town Meeting rejected their proposal, accordingly.
Article 13 would have negatively impacted mixed use residential/commercial neighborhoods poised for housing development. I described it as an (unintended) anti-housing warrant article.
Trump in 2016 on anti-trans bathroom bills: Leave it the way it is right now. There have been very few problems. Leave it the way it is....There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go. They use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate. There has been so little trouble.
PAX is joined by @BrooklineGreen in opposition to Article 13, which would significantly increase the size and number of commercial signs in Brookline. Tell your Town Meeting Members to vote NO on Article 13.
Rep. Troy Nehls: “If Donald Trump says tariffs work, tariffs work. Because Donald Trump is really never wrong. Think about it. He is never wrong.”
Blind loyalty doesn’t make for good governance.
MAGA is BIGLY mad at this opening of 60 Minutes Last night.
60 Minutes merely just told the truth. Why does the truth make you guys so angry?

This week the Brookline Select Board voted in favor of bringing back the School Resource Officer (SRO) program that was eliminated in 2021. My comments in support of the SRO program can be viewed here https://t.co/y9L0BPC1jl
A second Trump administration is a clear and present danger to our democratic norms, processes, and institutions. But our nation is stronger than one man or political party – no matter how determined they may be to upend our democracy.
We, the people, are powerful together.
Here in Massachusetts, we don’t have a moment to lose. We must immediately get to work building a firewall for freedom – to keep our state safe and free, to strengthen access to at-risk reproductive and gender-affirming health care, and to reduce surveillance.
We've got local ballot question coverage at @brooklinenews!
