A post on X and on Threads: "It looks to me like Bad Bunny created more jobs for this halftime show than trump has created in a year!"

Snowing today, cold temps, people heated up about Citizens Bank giving loans to build ICE prisons. 50 people, lots are new. Support #democracy and community, not abductions!

Massie on Trump's rhetoric: 'He's gone too far' The Kentucky Republican said somebody at the White House really should monitor what the president posts.

Massie on Trump's rhetoric: 'He's gone too far'

The Epstein scandal is taking down Europe’s political class. In the US, they’re getting a pass. As Europe moves to address its shame, it’s highlighting the comparative lack of accountability in the U.S.

It's a striking contrast. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Screenshot of headline reading: Super Bowl LX Despite assurances, residents and officials prepare for possible ICE operations during Super Bowl In Santa Clara, California, where nearly half of residents were born outside the US, fear builds as game approaches

As the Patriots take the field tonight, every fan should be able to enjoy the game without fear.

Like the patriots of 1776, we must demand a future free from authoritarian violence.

Defund and abolish this violent agency and keep them out of the Super Bowl.

Now that’s a President.

It’s election year so Lindsey Graham is begging for money on Fox News.

It brings me such joy to know he probably lays awake at night trying to figure out how the hell a pediatrician is out-raising him.

Let’s keep the pressure on. 🇺🇸💙

Everyone get excited for the superb owl!

Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:

Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.

Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

Companies reap $22bn from Trump’s immigration crackdown Palantir and Deloitte among beneficiaries of spending by government agencies

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year.

Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

Was driving my kids to school and the first thing on the radio was reporting about Trump's video depicting the Obamas as apes and I think many people still don't fully appreciate what it means to have to raise Black children in a country where the president is so brazenly and consistently racist

Thank you, Tracy, for helping to organizing this forum. It's the first forum I have been to in Massachusetts and I couldn't be more excited about the future of MA-8!

Teamwork makes the dream work! I enjoyed working with so many other @indivisible.org and @progressivemass.bsky.social groups on this candidate forum. @patrickroath.bsky.social answered tough questions and shared his vision for the district. Get to know him, MA-08 voters!

From our candidate forum the other night, where my opponent declined to attend:

We officially out-raised our opponent in 2025!

This campaign, for a first-time candidate, raised more money in less time than an incumbent with 24 years of fundraising experience – and we did it 100% from individual donors.

Thank you to everybody who chipped in!

Thank you for standing up for our neighbors!

We deserve a leader who’s ready to meet this moment, for our country and our communities.

I’m Patrick Roath and I’m running for Congress to fight for what matters.

When Your Spokesperson Says the Quiet Part Loud: The Lynch Campaign and the Rhetoric of Dismissal When calling your opponent elitist requires acting like one

Thanks @BostonHerald for publishing Lynch spokesperson Scott Ferson's response to Patrick Roath's challenge. I analyzed what Ferson's statement reveals, and what it carefully avoids defending. (Spoiler: the 25-year voting record.) open.substack.com/pub/sethwill...

You’re totally right, another swath of folks beholden to the “silver line.” Thanks for reading!

My observations on commuting from Chelsea to Braintree via the MBTA. My observations led to some research and some research let to some more observations. Massachusetts can do better. And should.

Thank you so much!

Stephen Lynch Voted for Trump’s Detention Bill. Tonight, He Won’t Defend It. Lynch was the only Massachusetts representative to vote for the Laken Riley Act. One year ago, Trump signed it into law. This weekend, a man was killed by ICE in Minneapolis.

Something I wrote before Patrick Roath's one-man-show in Boston last week. It was cold. His opponent did not show up, which was a shame. I had some questions on his record, especially about ICE and the Laken Riley Act

I felt hope for the first time in many years. Glad to know I am not alone in wanting a change in MA8. Thank you for your advocacy.

Cannot stand that I am in a district where the person who represents me would thank this organization for anything.

It was a commanding performance. Would have been even more commanding if Stephen Lynch had bothered to show up. His indifference to his constituents is duly noted.

I agree Joanne. Really excited for the change coming for MA-8

Hi Rachel, we met at this evening. I have a friend in W. Rox and would love to connect you both!

I agree Suzanne! New to Bluesky but happy to see someone also interested in change for MA's 8th District!
