Show your support for public media NOW! Local radio and TV stations improve public safety, enhance children’s educational outcomes, and keep our communities informed and connected. Tell your lawmakers to #ProtectPublicMedia funding @MyPublicMedia: https://t.co/ouoCXrbAW0

[New England Public Media @nepublicmedia]

Public media is part of our everyday lives — it connects us, informs us, educates us, and inspires us. On March 6, NEPM is joining stations and supporters nationwide for #ProtectMyPublicMedia Day to celebrate what makes public media so essential: https://t.co/zKqhHoywwu

@jessemermell Arrrgh!

Why did this happen? 1. The economy. You can’t eat democracy. 2. Immigration. We’ve seen this around the world. When there are massive influxes of people, residents revolt. 3. Religion. many Latinos are part of a surging evangelical movement. 4. Machismo. Trump’s brand appeals.

This Kamala Harris ad narrated by Viola Davis is a cinematic masterpiece.

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

It sort of seems like the October Surprise is going to be our military leaders and Trump's own previous administration emerging to issue an endless series of dire warnings about Trump's unfitness, and their personal experiences with him

So glad the #MA House added the Healthy Homes Prog to the housing bond bill!

In my view, the key CPAC story isn’t that right-wing influencer Jack Posebiec said, “Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely.”

The story is how many Republican lawmakers are absolutely silent about it.

May I suggest the media ask every Congressional member who speaks at CPAC, and every Republican presidential candidate for that matter, the following three questions:

1) Do you reject Jack Posebiec’s comments?

2) Do you support democracy?

3) Do you respect the separation of church and state?

And don't stop asking until you get answers.

I believe journalists have a duty to uncover just how deep the threat to American democracy runs.

It’s the answers that should frighten us. Never the questions.

TY @MassGov Healey for supporting Access to Counsel in your FY25 draft budget!
Thanks also to @mikeday4rep, @RepDaveRogers + @SalDiDomenico for their leadership to prevent unjust evictions. #mapoli @MassLawReform #PHIWM

[LWV Massachusetts @LWVMA]

We couldn’t agree more @GlobeAbraham. Adding #AccesstoCounsel to @MassGovernor Healey’s housing bond bill is a no brainer—a proven solution to prevent evictions. @MassLawReform @GlobeOpinion #mapoli

NEW: I convinced a bunch of foreign diplomats to talk about something they don’t like to talk about: U.S. domestic politics. And boy did they let loose. This is worth your time: https://t.co/mSULskF2nu

Massachusetts is permitting 2.5 units of housing per 1,000 residents. Some of the worst housing production numbers in the nation & half the national average.

We have to recognize our housing production problems, both in the amount of housing we build and what we’re building.

So great to have our colleague Sarita Hudson represent #WesternMA, #PHIWM and the Healthy Air Network! Thank you @MAPublicHealth for your hard work! #BeyondBuzzWords

[The Clean Slate Initiative @CleanSlate_Init]

Today, New York @GovKathyHochul signed the New York Clean Slate Act into law, making it the twelfth state to enact legislation that meets The Clean Slate Initiative's policy minimums. As a result, more than 2.3 million people will soon have a #secondchance.
