The left has to articulate a full employment vision where the vision *IS* full employment. Not full employment to achieve some external industrial goals, which has the effect of reifying some jobs as necessary and others as make-work. But full employment because being valued and needed is a right.

The USPS is a lifeline for #MA7 residents for everything from daily meds, Social Security checks, mail-in ballots, & staying connected to loved ones. That's why we're not letting them go back on their word and rip away this resource by permanently closing the Allston branch.

🤫 The Trump family's World Liberty Financial appears to have quietly weakened a governance promise on Oct. 1. Its FAQ used to say tokens held in WLF's treasury "will not be voted." Now, it says WLF "does not currently vote" them. docs.worldlibertyfinancial.com/resources/faq
#### Are there any limits on how many tokens I can vote?

Yes. In addition to the limitation of voting 5,000,000,000 tokens per token holder (i.e. 5% of the total supply and described in greater detail below), any tokens which are treasury tokens (i.e., owned by WLF), will not be voted.
Yes. World Liberty Financial wants governance spread out, so one holder can vote at most 5,000,000,000 $WLFI, which is 5% of total supply. That applies across all the wallets a person controls, and World Liberty Financial can adjust it to 5% of the $WLFI that can actually vote. Staked $WLFI and locked tokens count toward the same limit. World Liberty Financial does not currently vote $WLFI held in its treasury.

MA Democrats: Vote No on Question 3 Apart from the fact that it would make it easier for big money to rig elections, it would also give Republicans the power to eliminate a candidate who could potentially win a normal Dem primary. Plus... Moulton is for it, so you know it's a bad idea.

Shameful. USPS' closure of the Allston office was also "temporary" and now they want to close it permanently. We can't let USPS continue to degrade services and leave folks in Fields Corner and across the #MA7 without this vital resource. They must keep this branch open.
