Some of you out here showing that you would’ve been defending the Gestapo in 1940s Germany.

“If only you hadn’t been trying to protect that criminal Jewish family you wouldn’t have gotten arrested or shot dead.”

That’s what some of you sound like.

🚨After we forced a vote, the House passed our bill to restore the ACA subsidies Republicans let expire.

This is an important step toward saving healthcare for millions of families—and a testament to what's possible when we organize & fight back.

The Senate must follow suit.

Cops are taught not to shoot into cars. ICE keeps doing it anyway. Immigration agents have shot at least 9 people since September. All of them have been in cars.

Cops are taught to avoid shooting into cars, for all the obvious reasons, but ICE has shot NINE people in cars since September. Great reporting from @nlanard.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Thank you Sal! I so appreciate you and your team!

As President, I’m committed to having conversations to best inform our decisions as we lead Chelsea forward. We’ll have many opportunities to listen, while moving with the urgency that this moment requires. Chelsea needs us now more than ever. I can’t wait to continue this work in my new role.

Many thanks to my fellow councilors for their support, and congratulations to Councilor Norieliz De Jesus on being elected Council Vice President. I am grateful for her service as President the past two years and look forward to our partnership in our new roles come January.

I am excited to announce that tonight my colleagues voted for me to be the next President of the Chelsea City Council! Please join me on January 5, 2026 as the City Council and School Committee are sworn in to our new term!

Fun fact:

Mariano tried to act like a vote that happened in 1994 was just a few years ago.

By my count, 64 out of the 160 MA state reps were not even eligible to vote yet in 1994, with 8 of them not born yet.

Chelsea Police chief Houghton and City Councilor @robertoj.bsky.social talks about the importance of the Safe Communities Act to trust and public safety in Chelsea. Roberto underscores how so many Chelsea residents see our essential workers who kept our state going during COVID. #mapoli

Chelsea City Councilor @robertoj.bsky.social talks about how our voter registration cutoff disenfranchises renters. No eligible voter should be turned away. #mapoli

Who was the platform chair?

It’s to give Maura Healey cover while she continues pushing for more conservative Dem policies. Simple as that. That’s the strategy. It’s a strategy for the Governor, not for the people.

According to @massgovernor.bsky.social Healey, the Democratic Party is all about cutting taxes. What world is she living in? This is why we fail and the GOP keeps cutting into our numbers.

Meanwhile when we come up short what gets cut is programs helping low and middle income families. 😡

What’s your favorite mayoral candidate housing policy?

(1) Cuomo: Everyone is required to be rent burdened

(2) Kraft: I’m giving tax breaks to landlords to raise rents at 4x inflation

lol I love @warren.senate.gov

PSA for everyone going to protests

‘Is Maura Healey still alive?’ Governor’s muted response to Trump immigration actions fuels anger among activists. - The Boston Globe Governor Maura Healey is facing criticism from supporters of immigrants in Massachusetts at risk of detention or deportation by federal immigration officials.

Thank you @anjalihuynh.bsky.social for covering this!

Every day communities like Chelsea and Worcester are getting punched in the face and Maura Healey has done nothing to protect our residents.

Is she afraid or does she just not care?

I would really appreciate @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social and @edmarkey.bsky.social going beyond their NO votes and calling for new leadership in the Senate. We deserve better than someone who is willing to roll over without getting anything in return.

This should cost Schumer his leadership position. And his seat, but demanding a change in leadership will have to do until there’s elections.

If the Senate Democrats do this, yes, it’s a massive betrayal of their base and an unconscionable abdication of their duty.

Every single one of them who’s complicit in this scheme needs to be driven out of politics forever.

I’m proud of my Congresswoman for fighting this fight.

Unlike her, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Dem leadership is just rolling over and playing dead. Then they’ll wonder why voters stay home and don’t fight for them.

Since Trump got elected again, Maura has been saying plenty of things that sound right. But when you look at what she does, she’s killing our right to shelter and embracing GOP talking points around it. She’s cutting taxes for the wealthy.

This isn’t right either. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Saying “Trump/Elon is right about X” as an attempt at a gotcha: Credulous, not clever, implies foresight and good judgement on the part of a Nazi movement

Saying “Trump/Elon is lying, they don’t care about making Government better”: Accurate, direct, focused on who our opposition is

Alongside increases in housing production (!!!), we need to invest in housing that is typically not profitable enough for the market to build. Real estate transfer fees are a way to do that, & direct economic gains to those who have been hurt most by the housing crisis massbudget.org/2025/02/12/l...

I wrote about how real estate transfer fees can be a tool for equity & help to create/preserve thousands of affordable housing units. The housing crisis has created significant wealth for some, while renters (esp. renters of color) continue to face high cost burdens. massbudget.org/2025/02/12/l...

So glad to see Chelsea City Councilor @robertoj.bsky.social taking action as well🙏🏽
