Today marks the last day people can register to vote or update their registration before the general election in MA.
We should not have such a cutoff at all.
Vote YES on 4 to bring us in line with all the states that already allow Election Day Registration.

Dutch photographer Hannie Heere was photographing barn owls when she captured an adorable shot of a baby barn owl running across grass.
More people should be outraged at the scope of the corruption, the criminal acts, the cruelty, the illegal wars & throwing the U.S. Constitution out the window.

The Smithsonian does not belong to the President, to the Administration, or to any politician. It belongs to the American people.
Period.
We’re here today to say Hands Off the Smithsonian!

The Kennedy Memorial is made of irreplaceable marble that was gifted by Italy.
Matisse tapestries found throughout were gifted from France.
The massive starburst chandelier in the Opera Hall, and lights along walkways, were a gift from Sweden.
The record-breaking stage curtains were a gift from Japan. They had to build special looms to weave them because of how big they are.
The grounds are beautiful with displays of art.
This is what Trump is destroying.

And so here we are. This statement from Trump blows my mind. That a sitting president would not let any renovations to a public building go on unless he gets to first put his name in the said building… What a sad state of affairs. What a tragedy. Actually, how small minded, how narcissistic. Actually
great men, devoted to public service and the public good do not act like this.
It seems that this man will not rest until his name is permanently connected to the name of a great president, whose memory this building was dedicated to. Imagine spending your time and your days focused on this, as everyday Americans struggle with healthcare, gas prices, rent, and food. Imagine spending your days focused on this, while a war rages under your leadership.
Enough said. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

My immigrant story shaped who I am. I’ve spent my career fighting—and winning—for working people.
With costs rising and our democracy under threat, we need a fighter who knows what’s at stake and isn’t afraid to roll up her sleeves.
7 days to go. Let’s win this together.
