Mayor Elyse Tipton said while she trusts local South Portland police to use the data properly, she's worried it could be misused by other agencies that have access. “The only way to make sure the data is not misused is to not collect it to begin with," she said Thursday.

We polled our members on whom to endorse for the open MA-06 race, and the result was clear. We are proud to be endorsing Tram Nguyen ( @teamtram.bsky.social ). #mapoli

Ahem, @massgovernor.bsky.social.

Police officers across the country are abusing their unfettered access to Flock's nationwide network of automatic license plate readers to stalk their exes. This is a dangerous violation of our privacy. Our communities must continue to fight back against this invasive surveillance tech.

A lemonade stand in Boston was robbed at gunpoint and damn that’s depressing. mobileapp.bostonglobe.com/FBIZANJIW5A7...

In 2024 in the aftermath of the election, Rep. Seth Moulton made anti-trans comments, blaming the election on trans people. Now, 2 years later, he's in a Senate run. And he decided to march at Pride... To a cacophony of boos. Read our latest piece by writer S. Baum.

***Does not apply if you're trans and under the age of 19.

Don’t believe the big tech lies! Small businesses will be fine after we pass good data privacy law www.aclum.org/news/the-big...

Maybe saying the quiet part out loud but does anyone actually expect the NSA under Trump to care what Congress says about FISA reauthorization? www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/u...

NEW: Our visual analysis suggests the U.S. hit two drinking-water facilities overnight in southern Iran with precision-guided munitions. Deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure could constitute a war crime. w/ @ckoettl.bsky.social @johnismay.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/w...

The @nytimes.com of course sanewashed “I love inflation” to “White House again shrugs off high prices amid war with Iran” Problems: 1- avoids his actual incendiary language 2- offers an excuse in the headline “it’s the war, people” 3- ignores fact he chose to go to war

Jesus Fucking Christ.

New: Cops keep getting arrested for using Flock to stalk people. Seemingly every week there's a new case, the details usually similar. Cops use unfettered access to Flock to surveil an ex. They most often search their plates hundreds of times over course of months www.404media.co/cops-keep-ge...

Today's Government Accountability Office report on ICE's Camp East Montana is scandalous: - Evidence of a homicide was destroyed or went missing - Detainees with HIV and diabetes were not given treatment plans - Cells were filthy and only cleaned weekly - A guard lost a loaded gun in the facility

Join us next Monday for an update on how to protect MA's gun safety laws! #mapoli actionnetwork.org/events/gun-v...

I am so honored to earn the endorsement of the SEIU State Council, representing more than 120,000 workers across Massachusetts. This is a game-changing moment for our people-powered campaign. I'm proud to have SEIU members standing with us, and I'll keep fighting for working people in Congress.

I sit on the Advisory Board of Salem State’s Berry Institute of Politics, which is hosting a candidates forum for the election in the 6th Congressional district. June 17, 6:30-8pm at the Sophia Gordon Center. Registration required to attend this free event: www.surveymonkey.com/r/CD6Foruman...

This is bad. At least 9 county prosecutors in pro-Trump areas of Virginia have now openly declared that they won't enforce the assault weapons ban that the Dem state legislature recently passed. It's a MAGA nullification movement. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2114...

TODAY in #SalemMA. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Today, June 6th, is Sarah Parker Remond’s 200th birthday and we’re thrilled to celebrate her life and legacy with a portrait for the new Sarah Parker Remond School opening this coming #SalemMA school year!

Statement on passage of the Massachusetts Consumer Data Privacy Act from @fightforthefuture.org TL;DR this is a good bill that bans the sale of cell phone location data and lets you sue Big Tech. AND there's room for improvement in conference committee. www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-06...

Given that @sethmoulton.bsky.social likes to brag about helping Sherrill win her Congressional and Gubernatorial races, reporters should ask him about her sending riot police to help ICE at Delaney. #MaPoli

There are plenty of other careers this guy could pursue if he does not want to be held publicly accountable for past problematic behavior.

"Yes, he's a misogynist war criminal psychopath, but his working class cosplay means he'll steer some ducats my way...& besides, who among us hasn't made rape jokes & terrorized our girlfriends behind closed doors?" --"progressive" dudes showing their entire asses

Drafted behind closed doors, revealed without notice, and rushed to a vote before our communities are able to digest and respond to the proposed legislation... that’s how State House Leadership treats our demands for transparency and accountability.

If you haven’t yet signed a petition to get #RentContol on November’s ballot, be sure to visit the North Shore DSA (@bostondsa.org) table at the #SalemArtsFestival this Sunday! DSA members will be gathering signatures in support of the ballot measure. #RentControlNow #MAPoli

There’s an action tomorrow in #BeverlyMA. Sign up here 👇🏻 www.mobilize.us/deicecitizen...

So Hegseth just gets to suddenly claim religions don't exist? www.military.com/dod-official...

Graham Platner trying to explain away his behavior as *living a regular life* really evokes *locker room talk* for me. The normalization of men’s abuse of women has to stop. Abusing women is not regular or normal or in any way okay. I hope this gets called out by lots and lots of people.

Susan Collins is largely responsible for Brett Kavanaugh—a man credibly accused of rape—being confirmed as a justice on the Supreme Court. As a result, Roe v Wade was overturned, and we now have “Kavanaugh stops” and a dismantled Voting Rights Act. She deserves to be unseated, NOT applauded.

🙈🙈🙈

Damn it’s almost as if creating an economy where you don’t pay consumers enough money to buy anything doesn’t work

The MA House just UNANIMOUSLY passed a strong, enforceable data privacy bill! Highlights include a complete ban on the sale of precise geolocation data, with NO exceptions, and a private right of action against large data holders. #mapoli

Psychotic way to characterize taxing rich people to help the disadvantaged.

They did this because the fund is not dead. It is on pause, and they will 100% try to bring it back. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

THIS. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Maybe next time people will listen.

YES!!!

🚨🚨🚨 Please write your state representative ASAP about key amendments to support (& oppose) in the Data Privacy bill being voted on today. Thanks to this tool from @progressivemass.bsky.social this is a quick but important action to take. Please share! actionnetwork.org/letters/hous... #MaPoli

Because he very clearly won't. newrepublic.com/post/211280/...
