It’s raining hard here in MA, and the private equity money has been raining down hard in support of Question 3 (jungle primaries). Remember, folks: The most dangerous words in the English language are “We’re from private equity, and we’re here to help.” Vote NO on 3. #mapoli

In 2024, Massachusetts passed its most comprehensive gun safety law in over a decade. This November, Question 9 on the ballot asks voters to vote YES to keep the law or NO repeal it. #VoteYESon9 to keep our communities safe.

The fate of a 2024 Massachusetts gun law will soon lie in voters’ hands. A petition drive by gun advocates has sent it to the statewide ballot.

Question 3 wants to turn our primary elections into a contest over who has the biggest bankroll, not the most grassroots support. Voting NO will protect the first-time, working-class, and candidates of color that are more likely to get locked out due to fear of being a spoiler.

My statement condemning today’s devastating decision on TPS for Haiti and Syria.
Graphic with white text box on a purple and dark purple background. Text reads: Councilor Louijeune’s Statement Condemning Supreme Court’s Decision to Allow the Trump Administration to Terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians & Syrians. I am deeply disappointed by the Supreme Court’s decision to allow the Trump Administration to terminate TPS for Haitians and Syrians, recklessly placing more than 350,000 Haitians and thousands of Syrians at risk of deportation. This decision is a devastating blow to families, workers, and entire communities. Haitian TPS holders are essential members of our workforce, serving as healthcare professionals, home health aides, childcare providers, construction workers, transportation employees, and small business owners. TPS exists because conditions in countries like Haiti remain unsafe — with profound political instability, widespread violence, kidnappings, and humanitarian crises. I stand with Haiti’s TPS holders and all TPS holders, and will continue fighting for permanent, humane solutions that keep families together and protect those who cannot safely return home.

Mwen pwofondman desi devan desizyon Tribinal Siprèm lan ki pèmèt Administrasyon Trump lan mete fen nan TPS pou Ayisyen ak Siriyen yo, yon desizyon ki mete plis pase 350,000 Ayisyen ak plizyè milye Siriyen an danje pou depòtasyon. Desizyon sa a danjere pou fanmi yo, travayè yo, ak tout kominote yo. Benefisyè TPS ayisyen yo se manm esansyèl ki sèvi kòm pwofesyonèl nan swen ak sante, èd swen lakay, travayè konstriksyon, anplwaye transpò, ak pwopriyetè biznis. TPS egziste paske kondisyon nan peyi tankou Ayiti rete danjere — ak gwo enstabilite politik, vyolans, kidnaping, ak kriz imanite.
