Allston-Brighton Progressives

Allston-Brighton Progressives Local chapter of Progressive MA.

Hello, neighbors.

Will I follow through on my constant threats to bring fresh baked goods to our monthly meeting on Tuesday, or once again be distracted by a shiny object?

ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.

Aaron, I would like to sincerely apologize from across the river at how hard this made us laugh.

A federal official said South Station needs to address crime and safety. What’s next for the transit hub? - The Boston Globe The Trump administration announced plans Wednesday to take over management of Union Station.

This isn’t a game of authoritarian Monopoly.

Other countries aren’t for sale. Boston’s South Station isn’t a federal property.

Flynn blocks council from approving resolution backing mayor's battle with the regime; says councilors need to get back to basics like potholes, sidewalk repair and Mass and Cass City Councilor Ed Flynn today used a council parliamentary rule to keep the council from approving a resolution in support of Mayor Wu's vow to fight the regime's threats to cancel federal aid to the ...

@edflynnforboston.bsky.social is an embarrassment to the City. He has spent the entire summer carrying water for Trump. It's truly appalling, and he should be ashamed of himself. universalhub.com/2025/flynn-b...

The only excitement was the greeting committee for the new Acela coming in.

And while my train was ten minutes late leaving, it got to Worcester on time.

If you're passing through South Station tonight or tomorrow, why not take a photo of its charm or people not being crimed up, so we can show why we don't need any dictator fan bois and former grade-B Real World actors taking it over?

And they always have great t-shirts.

The House and Senate finally agreed to Joint Rules (pending a final vote).

Anti-Displacement Action Plan

Thanks to everyone who came to the #Allston #Brighton Anti-Displacement Workshop today and sharing your stories. And thank you City of Boston staff for putting this plan together and Charlesview for creating a wonderful space for the community to come together. www.boston.gov/departments/...

It was so good to see residents of all ages and business owners sharing what they love about #Allston #Brighton and learning about resources to help folks have a future here.

This Minority Health Awareness Month, I took to the House floor to call out how Trump's White House is making communities of color more vulnerable.

Our greatest wealth as a nation is the health of our people — and Black health matters.

Candidate Kraft offers unclear recusal plan when family’s involved in Boston business The candidate for mayor of Boston has previously vowed to recuse himself from all family business if elected.

How does he not have a go-to answer for this already? It was an obvious question to be asked. #bospoli

Join me at the Progressive Mass 25 Virtual Awards Night! Show your support with a contribution.

Some people strive for an Nobel Prize, some for an Olympic medal.

But Massachusetts' most benevolent nerds covet the Progressive Mass award - to be awarded Sunday, April 27 in a Virtual ceremony.
