A place for people in Lexington, Arlington, Bedford and beyond to take collective action at the local, state, and federal level and build community.

Democrats, if you spent the fall talking about the dangers of Project 2025, try not voting for it.

“It’s not legal” isn’t going to been much of a buffer for a man who committed 4 separate felony crimes during his 4 years in office, especially now that he has total immunity.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

When Obama tried to use recess appointments because Republicans were filibustering nominees, not because of their qualifications, but just to block him from filling posts, the Supreme Court slapped him down. Now watch them give Trump a complete greenlight.

[Jonathan 'Boo and Vote' Cohn @JonathanCohn]

Republicans will have the majority. But they want to be a victim.

If you defraud Medicare and Medicaid you can be sent to prison.

Rick Scott defrauded Medicare and Medicaid and he’s being championed by the worst people to be Senate Majority Leader so he can oversee cutting both programs.

Super-wealthy criminals always fail up.

For those who suggest the big problem for the Dems was information silos -- the fact that Trump targeted livestreamers/podcasters/YouTubers -- and that's where a lot of people, especially young people get info, that's true, but, there's something to consider. A 🧵...

It's been great to see so many people emigrate from Twitter to BlueSky because BlueSky needs a greater critical mass of politicians, journalists, and activists to match Twitter. And it isn't controlled by a Nazi.

"The people who watched Trump’s television ads... had not been harmed by a transgender person, or by an immigrant, or by a woman of color. The magic lies in the daring it takes to declare a weaker group to be part of an overwhelming conspiracy."

#mapoli, who is doing this here?

Until we make it clear that Republican policy causes their economic woes, Americans will continue to believe Republicans are better on the economy.

It’s not about the issues. Biden delivered big for the working class but none of it mattered bc of ingrained perceptions.

[Bob Ferguson @BobFergusonGov]

We’ve been working for months to prepare for another Trump term. 

We’ve gone line by line through Project 2025. We’re ready to take on unconstitutional assaults on your reproductive rights, access to health care, and civil rights. 

Elections have consequences, and presidents have a lot of power — that’s appropriate. But we will not stand by if the President exceeds his authority and acts unlawfully in a manner that harms Washingtonians. We will stand up for the Rule of Law.  

And we won’t stop governing. We have a lot of work to do. I will fight to improve the lives of all Washingtonians, regardless of whom they voted for.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Need to watch out for this. It connects to Trump's statement: "I want Hitler’s generals." As of August 1934, those generals became Hitler's via a loyalty oath. That made him the Führer.

[Swing Blue Alliance @SwingBlueAllian]

The work isn’t over yet. We’ve got a great way to keep up the fight.

Help us cure ballots in razor-thin races. Your calls could be the difference!

We’re looking for volunteers to help support key Senate and House races in PA, NV, AZ, NC and CA.

I think this is a good article. Republican policies of low wages and no access to affordable healthcare or childcare in TN keep people struggling, working 2-3 jobs to survive and no time to follow factual news or hold their GOP leaders accountable. https://t.co/rVZtJgv1qi

[ACLU Massachusetts @ACLU_Mass]

The ACLU has never been more prepared for the fight ahead. We have the playbook to fight back — and we, the people, are ready to defend our fundamental freedoms.

Here’s how Massachusetts leaders can take action TODAY to build a firewall for freedom: https://t.co/5sI0aB4EUO
