Progressive Framingham/Metrowest

#Framingham/#Metrowest Chapter of @ProgressiveMass, a statewide, member-driven grassroots organization fighting for #progressive values in #Massachusetts

[Luke Savage @LukewSavage]

Whether you supported Sanders or not, it's a grave inditement of the political mainstream that so many pundits and operatives witnessed this energy and overwhelmingly saw it as a mortal threat to be contained rather than something to be harnessed or even just understood.

Very disappointing. Students w/ disabilities who complete every other grad requirement but struggle with this test can never receive a diploma. Massachusetts governor will oppose dropping MCAS graduation requirement in upcoming ballot question https://t.co/VCxOpriYyt via @wbz

[Progressive Framingham/Metrowest @ProgressFramMW]

Think harder about unifying with other progressive groups - and work together knock off incumbents. "Do nows" from @rkuttnerwrites as prompted by former educator/State Senator @SoniaChangDiaz at @ProgressiveMass

[Progressive Framingham/Metrowest @ProgressFramMW]

This is about power - about amplifying power at all costs. Sad that Massachusetts badly trails Connecticut(!) in terms of the transparency of our state legislature. @SoniaChangDiaz @rkuttnerwrites at @ProgressiveMass annual meeting.

[Progressive Framingham/Metrowest @ProgressFramMW]

We need wealthy liberals to start investing in #Progressives back home - while also supporting our champions in DC. References to this great article by Robert Kuttner - worth a read @rkuttnerwrites

Why does #Massachusetts send so many Progressives to Washington but we get so little done in Boston? Great question posed by @rkuttnerwrites at @ProgressiveMass annual meeting

[Progressive Framingham/Metrowest @ProgressFramMW]

The crowd & @JonathanCohn is pumped to hear from #Progressive champions @SoniaChangDiaz & @rkuttnerwrites at the @ProgressiveMass annual meeting!

It's time for Massachusetts to put learning above the test!

Once again @TTuberville is showing the nation who he is... a feckless, bumbling, embarrassing and out of touch politician who is endangering America's national security.

He doesn't stand with our soldiers because he is currently blocking crucial military promotions.

He doesn't stand with our closest ally Israel and is currently parroting some meek "both sides" message.

It is past time for @LeaderMcConnell & @SenateGOP to stand up to Tuberville and put our national security and military first.

[Samantha Perlman @SamforMarlboro]

Today is the day in #Marlborough and the right choice for #Mayor is Samantha Perlman. She has the right approach to moving the city forward & the track record to back it up. Get out there & vote! @SamforMarlboro @ProgressiveMass

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Auto workers on strike are asking everyday people to stand with them by joining their rallies and picket lines.

Join us THIS SUNDAY in St. Louis to support @UAW’s Stand Up strike.

Let’s show the Big 3 what solidarity really looks like 💪🏽Wear red & see you Sunday! #StandUpUAW

[The Mehdi Hasan Show @MehdiHasanShow]

"We have to be clear the Republican Party is the party of climate arson in addition to a fascist threat to our democracy," progressive organizer @kai_newkirk tells @MehdiRHasan the next steps for activists concerned about global warming.

[Steve Herzfeld 🌊 @american2084]

Would you support a federal law that bans assault weapons, including the AR-15?

[Charles Kenny @charlesjkenny]

We demonstrated it was possible to slash child poverty.

And then we decided it wasn't worth the effort.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

It’s now clear that Leonard Leo, Ginni Thomas and Harlan Crow conspired in the wake of Citizens United, where Justice Clarence Thomas cast a decisive vote, to unleash over a billion dollars to reshape the judiciary in the mold of the Federalist Society.

The result is now an extreme right-wing Supreme Court that has overturned abortion rights, environmental law, and affirmative action. And they are far from done.

Citizens United must be overturned, by constitutional amendment if necessary. And we must hold justices to account for their corrupt acceptance of lavish gifts and demand their recusal in case involving or helping out their buddies.

This is a cancer that will otherwise consume our Republic.

[Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway @SatyaForMadison]

⚡️Incentivizing clean energy development

👷‍♀️Creating good green jobs

🌱Supporting resilient agriculture

🚌Advancing clean transportation

The surest sign a ballot question deserves our support: big $ trying to keep it off the ballot. (See Fair Share)
