what most keeps me up at night is not even about housing, it's witnessing a century where the West will close its doors as global warming forces historically unprecedented mass migrations. & every Western center-left party in recent elections has shown ZERO sign to the contrary
@shwoolley @erika4rep Lol, I went to a ward Democratic meeting in Somerville once and almost the entire time was spent complaining about new development
If we want the war in Gaza to end, we can’t put our heads in the sand or ignore the voices of the Palestinian Americans in the Democratic Party. If we want peace, if we want real democracy, and if we want to win this election, the Democratic Party must allow a Palestinian American speaker to be heard from the DNC stage tonight.
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.
The super rich are backing Trump like never before. More than five dozen billionaires are supporting his campaign for the presidency.
This thread will show who his billionaire backers are.

@Tyler_A_Harper @BeijingPalmer Serious answer is that the ability to practice message discipline on social media is very poor. People see things and repost/amplify without putting too much thought into it (as the platforms are designed to encourage). Still, organizations should really know better.
Last night, after hours of heartfelt and powerful public testimony, Medford became the third city in the Commonwealth to call for an enduring bilateral ceasefire in Gaza and Israel. The full text of the resolution is below. I’m so proud of our community for supporting us in this.
🚨It's official! Somerville & Cambridge have made history as the first two cities in MA to call for a #CeasefireNOW.
While we push federally, I'm proud to see #MA7 cities lead locally.
TY to our colleagues for the courage & solidarity, & to the activists who made this possible.
For the past several months, I’ve been deeply concerned about Israel’s war in Gaza, thinking about what I can say or do, as an American, as a Jew, as a former Congressman. But one thing is crystal clear: the war must end.
New Interview: I talked to Biden spokesman John Kirby about the administration’s policy towards Israel, what it will and won’t tell the Israeli government, and whether the administration believes Israel is committing human rights violations. https://t.co/eklRn5camC
Netanyahu & his right-wing war cabinet have created a humanitarian catastrophe, killing thousands of Palestinian civilians. Israel needs leadership that will bring the hostages home, not wage months of war.
Stop bombing Gaza. Resume the cease-fire. Work toward a permanent peace.
This is, at this point, willful ignorance. How many Israeli government ministers have to confirm what is obviously happening on the ground before Biden stops supplying them weapons?
The United States rejects the inflammatory and irresponsible statements from Israeli Ministers Smotrich and Ben Gvir. There should be no mass displacement of Palestinians from Gaza.
