SNAP benefits will be frozen on Nov. 1. Check the Massachusetts SNAP Resource Hub. On the tool, saw that over 1500 of my neighbors in Wakefield depend on SNAP.

On @mbta.com - orange line. They keep saying we will move momentarily. I don’t think they know what that word means. It’s been 25 minutes. But grateful for some communications.

A screenshot of a post on X that reads: 

Cuomo, talking to conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg this morning:

"God forbid, another 9/11β€”can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?" Cuomo asks.

"He'd be cheering," Rosenberg says.

Cuomo paused and chuckled before saying: "That's another problem."

He concluded with β€œI fear President Trump believes the American people are so divided that today they will not stand up, fight for, and defend our most precious constitutional values so long as they are lulled into thinking their own personal interests are not affected. Is he correct?”

ICE agents held 5-year-old girl outside Leominster home to get father to surrender, family says Video appears to show federal immigration agents trying to coax the man out of his Massachusetts home while asking, "Is that your daughter?"

Leaders in Massachusetts - this is not okay. Elected, religious, academic, business, local and state…please do something to stop this.

I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, you’ll quickly find that people don’t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started.

Really need members of Congress to do something instead of just posting their outrage about their colleague’s Islamophobia and racism. Faux outrage doesn’t change anything. Do something. Disrupt. Do not normalize the hate.
