@mikeconnollyma.bsky.social is our OG democratic socialist state rep, and his leadership continues to pave the way for a rising cadre of bold leftist leaders changing the status quo on Beacon Hill. I am so grateful for his support in our race for Cambridge City Council.

This Halloween evening, more than 1.1 million people across Massachusetts are facing the potential loss of SNAP benefits. This is a crisis of Trump’s making — read more about what I’m doing to advocate and where you can offer or get help in Cambridge and Somerville, here on my blog:

Showing AOC my Green New Deal tee shirt

Thank you as well to @aoc.bsky.social for being such an inspiration and such a fearless leader — and for allowing me to show off my Green New Deal tee shirt under my Tax The Rich sweatshirt! 🤣

Me + Zohran after his Forest Hills Stadium rally last night

Incredible weekend campaigning for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the affordability agenda. Thank you, Zohran, for building the movement to make buses fast and free, to win universal childcare and a rent freeze — and for being a nice guy. This is the most hopeful moment since before the pandemic!

With Frank, Shashank, and Michelle in downtown Flushing

Out here in Queens canvassing for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the affordability agenda. Looking forward to the rally at Forest Hills Stadium with Bernie and AOC this evening! 🙌🏻

Testifying this week before the Joint Committee on Election Laws in support of my bill, H.811, An Act authorizing cities and towns to provide for citizen-funded election campaigns.

Clean Elections are at the core of our vision for leftist politics — so I was excited to testify this week before the Joint Committee on Election Laws in support of legislation I filed to allow for public financing of municipal elections. Thank you @votejivan.bsky.social for working with me on this.

RSVP and participate in tonight’s meeting via this Zoom link: www.mass.gov/event/everet...

We also got the state to initiate the design process for a second headhouse-entrance to the Assembly Orange Line station. All of this will complement major new upgrades to Draw 7 Park, currently under construction!

Tonight at 7 pm, MassDOT will host a virtual design public hearing to review the plans for the Mystic River Bicycle Pedestrian Bridge. I am very proud of the work we’ve done with my local colleagues to advocate for state funding to construct this bridge with a newly-designed 18-foot width.

No Kings on Boston Common yesterday was incredible — so many creative signs and costumes, powerful speeches, and some great musical performances. Thank you to everyone who organized, who showed up, and who said hi! #NoKings

Out here at the #NoKings demonstration on Boston Common this afternoon. ✊

In light of an avalanche of pending federal budget cuts, passing the corporate Fair Share proposal to tax big corporations that seek to “offshore” their profits is so important. @raiseupma.bsky.social @progressivemass.bsky.social @electerika.bsky.social @massteacher.bsky.social

With Rep Erika

Excellent Town Hall Meeting in Porter Square last night in support of making big corporations pay their fair share in taxes. As State Representative, I’m proud to always be on the forefront of efforts to #TaxTheRich and address today’s unprecedented wealth and income inequality.

Thank you to Senators Will Brownsberger, Sal DiDomenico, Cindy Friedman, and Pat Jehlen and Rep. Mike Connolly for joining us!

Rep. Erika Uyterhoeven was here earlier.

“The October 7th attack carried out by Hamas was horrific and devastating. “Elders, babies, parents, and loved ones were senselessly murdered. “251 souls were taken hostage, among them Americans, Israelis, grandparents, toddlers, and peace activists. “The grief of these losses runs deep in the Massachusetts 7th and around the world. (1/4)

“In the two years since the October 7 attack, I have sat beside the family members of hostages and those who lost loved ones that day. “Their stories have stayed with me daily. Surviving family members have spoken of our shared humanity. “The hostage families have sparked a movement calling for peace, joined by a multi-generational, multi-racial coalition of people of every faith and every corner of the globe. (2/4)

“Today in Gaza, we are witnessing an unspeakable genocide, and we must continue to call for peace. “Innocent civilians are being denied food, water and medical care. “Our children will ask what we did in this moment, and the only acceptable answer remains: everything we could to save lives. (3/4)

“I remain committed to the safety and survival of everyone impacted by these atrocities. “I send my deepest condolences to every family who lost a loved one in the violent October 7th attack and to every family who has lost a loved one in the violence perpetrated in Gaza. “Grief lasts as long as love does. Your loved ones mattered deeply, and they will not be forgotten.” (4/4)

My statement on the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7th attack carried out by Hamas in Israel:

msm won't pick this up, but big WIN for Palestine solidarity in Somerville, MA this morning. @marisakabas.bsky.social

Elections Commission rejects big money play to remove Palestine Solidarity measure from our November ballot. State rep @mikeconnollyma.bsky.social breaks it down.

That’s why I’ve urged the Somerville Board of Election Commissioners to overrule the anti-democratic objections to the Palestine Solidarity question and to place the question on the ballot today.

In this moment where human rights organizations have concluded that Isreal is committing genocide in Palestine, hundreds of Somerville residents took to the streets this summer to gather over 11,000 signatures to put a non-binding advisory question on the November 4, 2025 municipal ballot.

I have long stood for the principle that the freedom to criticize governments must be protected, and that criticism of the Israeli government is not inherently antisemitic.

This morning, I submitted this testimony to the Somerville Board of Election Commissioners — asking them to overrule the anti-democratic objections to the Palestine Solidarity ballot question — and to proceed with placing the question on the municipal ballot today.

As State Representative, I have long stood for the principle that the freedom to criticize any and all governments must be protected, and that criticism of the Israeli government is not inherently antisemitic, and that all residents should be free to engage in various legitimate political actions that seek to change government policies, both at home and abroad. In this moment where a broad array of human rights organizations and global leaders have concluded that Isreal is committing genocide in Palestine, hundreds of Somerville residents took to the streets this summer to gather over 11,000 signatures to put a non-binding advisory question on the November 4, 2025 municipal ballot. In so doing, these activists have drawn inspiration from past efforts, such as the movement that worked to end apartheid in South Africa. Now, a new group, “Somerville United Against Discrimination,” has emerged and is seeking to throw the Palestine Solidarity question off the ballot. None of the arguments in opposition to allowing the question to be placed on the ballot make sense. Somerville for Palestine collected more than enough signatures in accordance with the law, and while voters are free to consider various arguments in support or opposition to the ballot question — it is wrong to claim the ballot question itself is discriminatory. Therefore, I respectfully urge the Board of Election Commissioners to overrule these anti-democratic objections and to place the question on the ballot today.

i love having @mikeconnollyma.bsky.social as my rep-- I can bug him about issues but I also know he is already a cosponsor of all the progressive bills, etc.
