The appropriate response is impeachment, the first time, every time. Again and more are words that should never occur on this subject but this President and his coconspirators have been attacking our democracy constantly for a decade and we haven’t gotten around to protecting it yet.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Rapist in chief defends rapists. He doesn't think it's wrong. I remember when he and Ivana got divorced and she accused him of raping her. He stated that "you can't tape your wife" meaning he considered her his property and could do what he wanted when he wanted without her consent.

Social Security Works @socialsecurityworks.org · 02/10/2026
How do we make billionaires pay their fair share into Social Security? By making them contribute at the same rate as the rest of us, all year long. Doing so would mean we could afford to protect and expand benefits through the rest of the century!

If AI oligarchs like Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Open AI’s Dean Ball, who called it “fraud,” contributed to Social Security at the same rate as the rest of us, we could protect and expand benefits for decades to come!"

A Walla Walla, WA newspaper editor in 1951 advocated rooting out the Marxists and Communists, claiming that the Democratic president had been too attentive to the rights of minorities and insufficiently respectful of the rights of White Christians. That editor was Syd Pierce, an antisemitic fascist.

MA has 9 statewide ballot questions this year. Be an informed voter! #mapoli www.progressivemass.com/2026ballot/
This November, Massachusetts will see *9* statewide ballot questions, a historic number. But we’ve got you covered. 

✅VOTE YES ON 1 to expand the public records law to cover the Governor and the Legislature. We’re the only state in the country that doesn’t do that already. Let the sunlight in.

✅VOTE YES ON 2 to enable public defenders to collectively bargain. Every worker deserves to have a union, and public defenders, who are often overworked and underpaid, should be no exception. 

❌VOTE NO ON 3 to prevent private equity billionaires from rigging our election system in their favor. Top-two primaries empower corporate PACs and self-funders, disadvantage grassroots candidates, and turn MAGA voters into election kingmakers. 

✅VOTE YES ON 4 to enable voters to register to vote or update their registration on Election Day. No eligible voter should be turned away due to a clerical error, and this reform is one of the most proven ways to increase voter turnout. 

❌VOTE NO ON 5 to protect our state’s ability to invest in health care, transportation, and public education. The rich would get millions in tax rebates, while the rest of us suffer from underfunded public services. 

⚪VOTE how you want on 6. Question 6 fell shy of our endorsement threshold: our members valued land and water conservation, but were worried about the dedication of existing funds as opposed to new ones. 

✅VOTE YES on 7 to enable more starter homes across the Commonwealth. We have a housing crisis, and large lot size requirements mean fewer homes are able to be built. 

❌VOTE NO on 8 to protect our state’s cannabis laws. We said NO to the war on drugs back in 2016, and we shouldn’t turn back time and destroy local economies. 

✅VOTE YES ON 9 to protect our state’s landmark gun safety law, which cracked down on ghost guns, banned machine gun conversion devices, and strengthened gun violence data collection.
