Thank you so much @progressivemass.bsky.social! I so appreciate your support and statement of solidarity. ✊

Means a lot to have my community behind me during this stressful time. ❤️

Shanah Tovah! Happy and sweet new year. May this year lead us into a more loving, compassionate and a more gentle world.

Judge is set to rule Thursday morning on a motion to dismiss the assault charge WPD hit Etel with for getting in ICE's way. Need a good crowd out! More in the latest newsletter post www.worcestersucks.email/p/giving-up-...

Thank you so much @clbergpowers.bsky.social. Our family appreciates all the supper we’ve received during this very stressful time. ❤️

These folks are so useless. Keep your damn condemnations. We will defend our people as we have so far. We’ve never had to rely on this empty slate to protect our families & we ain’t starting now. www.masslive.com/politics/202...

They said they’d be looking for rate increases this winter when I asked them to come to the public works cmt to explain their delivery charges. Thus, they continue sticking it to all our residents, while whining they can’t afford their upgrades & while making billions in profit. Get outta here.

My Mill St. Nbd meeting facilitator started a new tradition: end our meetings w/ something good from all. My stress levels are quite ⬆️ but this tradition melted some of it. ❤️

Give it up for @andrewjmarsh.bsky.social! We’re crushing it! From people telling my son they’d eshte vote for a 🪴 to ONE road jeer only- the Haxhiaj team is unstoppable. See if you can spot Andrew around D5! Send him a 🫶 or a 🌺 🪴. We are a loving campaign.

Wohooooo!! Nice work @andrewjmarsh.bsky.social!! You rock! #whereisandrewtoday

Let me get this straight. The Mass Governor has zero problem calling on trump to not abandon Housing First for veterans bcs many will up on the streets. Yeah, agree. But, families with children....that's okay. Streets are perfectly fine for them.

Most of your electeds are comfortable just issuing empty platitudes about immigrants right now. Most issue them & hide and duck when needing to stand strong or just stand.

It is my 2nd year participating in the week without driving. Thanks WalkBike Worcester & Karin. “We need more than the traditional three Es- engineering, education and enforcement. We need Empathy and Experience in those who make decisions.” Register here: walkbikeworcester.org/week-without...

Thank you @clbergpowers.bsky.social! I admire Sen. Villa’s protecting her constituents. And here in Worcester doing the same thing shouldn’t lead to political persecution. Regardless, I & others will continue to stand up to ICE snatching our people off our streets.

I wish I could be there. I stand proudly with @suemailman.bsky.social

The shelter system is half empty. The @MassGov has decided to go with the narrative that demand has decreased. We have empty shelters while homeless families are forced into dangerous situations.

ICYMI the leadership of the MassDems tried to use the quiet, late season platform convention to push through a complete stripping of the policy platform planks that progressives have been fighting years and got pushed off.

…former Labor Secretary Robert Reich argued Democrats should embrace the populist progressive vision for the party espoused by the likes of New York City mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani

@andrewjmarsh.bsky.social is a dedicated Haxhiaj team volunteer! He has walked 9 miles across the district w a Haxhiaj sign😍. Despite a few cranky people who yelled at him: “she should go to jail” Andrew perseveres.

While the federal government may be spreading confusing information about vaccines, Massachusetts is making it clear that anyone who wants a COVID-19 booster or flu shot can get one at CVS or other pharmacies. Yes, they will continue to be covered by insurance #MAPoli #MALeg

I switched to Verizon Fios finally! It finally came to our neighborhood over here in Columbus Park. Bad news is, the pole were the connection needs to go thru is in my backyard for like 5 houses. Your city councilor isn’t just accessible she’s an excellent conduit for your internet needs too! 😍

I pay attention to the city staff who are accesible to residents, often answering questions, addressed things, chiming in. Always positive & helpful.

🚧 At tomorrow's City Council meeting, DTM is submitting a comprehensive report on the status of sidewalk and street construction projects as of August 31, 2025. The monthly report is organized around categories with information on location, project type and completation status.

For the record, the D5 candidate that wants to serve, didn’t show up to the LBTQ forum or the NAACP one… just like last time. I’m happy to talk to all communities. 🫶

See you tonight!

The fire sprinkler ordinance order failed, just as it was stated publicly on my page. I am disappointed. We literally put cost and gibberish arguments ahead of resident lives. I will continue to work on protecting my residents, no matter what. Shout- out to Capt. Bull of WFD who took the time

This weekend!

See you there! See what do you spy with your little eyes? 😘

On my way back from door knocking for Nelly Medina this afternoon I ran into the owner of Anokye Krom, on Lovell St. Richard shared with me he’s seen business slow down due to the immigration climate. It made me so sad our immigrant communities & biz owners are feeling the brunt of this cruelty.

On the doors today ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

Lee’s Sandwhiches Grand Opening was a huge success. Thank you for investing in Webster Sq., and District 5. The Bánh mì is really good and so is the coffee and pastries. Go check it out!
