I’ve had people laugh saying 'A better Massachusetts is possible' sounds underwhelming.
But do you actually believe it? That fixing the T, solving the housing crisis, making childcare affordable is around the corner?
Or is believing that we can have a government that delivers genuinely radical.
Bonus points if you can count the number of costume changes.
It's official when it is Bluesky official.
Paul’s at the forefront of American housing policy. Tying together YIMBYism, public finance, and public development, he’s building *the model* for American social housing.
Now he’s been appointed to Zohran’s Transition Committee on Housing. We at @publicenterprise.bsky.social couldn’t be prouder!
Legislator of the year apparently
I’m a Boston resident but I work and spend a lot of time in Cambridge. I’ve come to know @burhanazeem.bsky.social as a dynamic political leader who knows how to get things done. He represents the future of urban civic leadership - an outstanding choice for Cambridge #mapoli voters.
I am also ranking Burhan Azeem as my #1 choice. I agree with everything Josh says. And I've also personally been really impressed with Burhan's amazing combination of commitment to Cambridge, deep thoughtfulness about the issues it faces and pragmatism and inclusiveness in his approach to them.

If you’re worried about the young people today and their mental health crisis, it’s comforting to spend 5 minutes on Nextdoor. The old people are SO much crazier!
Rent is way too high in Cambridge, but some candidates want to go back to banning apartment buildings in certain neighborhoods—let’s keep moving forward and put hundreds more dollars a month in the pockets of every renter!
This study shows why Cambridge’s new multifamily zoning is so important for decreasing housing costs!
Recently a local paper published a piece on a City Council candidate that reads more like a campaign press release than reporting, without clearly labeling it as such.
A news piece on the candidate would at least mention he's a board member of a group that sued the city to rip out bike lanes.
Proud to have helped one blue city that is getting it right! Please donate now to ensure our progress is not rolled back and we can continue to get it right! #CambMA #mapoli

What has the #CambMA @abciepac.org Pro-Housing City Councilors Accomplished?
Check it out www.abciepac.org/aho-accompli...
and while you are at it, please consider donating to and/or volunteering for ABC IEPAC so we can ensure our progress is not rolled back.
In addition to being at the forefront of the urbanist/YIMBY movement, Burhan is one of the kindest, most thoughtful officials I have ever met. Please donate to his campaign if you can: secure.actblue.com/donate/commi...
I donated and I hope you will too!
Burhan has been at the forefront of Cambridge's recent progress on housing, e.g expanding the Affordable Housing Overlay and ending exclusionary zoning city-wide. He needs our support to continue this work in the next council term!

I’m so incredibly proud of my city and Harvard today. We will fight together and we will not surrender!
Thousands showed up today saying “Stand Up Harvard!”
#LetsGoCambridge
Cambridge asking Harvard to take a stand.
Great to see @ryanenos.bsky.social and many other colleagues speaking up and people cheering on a icy grey rainy day.
I’ve got my strategy for the next 2 years.
We can’t stop the admin and we’re certainly not able to undo their harm.
But we can be roadblocks. From filibustering to suing to protesting at every over reach.
We need to SLOW THEM DOWN.
We need to make it through so we can rebuild after.
If only Harvard could muster the moral courage of Tufts
“People support me because I write policies that have a real chance to make a difference in the housing crisis. If I wasn’t doing that, I wouldn’t be doing my job.”

Update! UMass-Amherst's faculty senate is now on board!!
Last night they passed their own resolution calling for two compacts:
1) of all public and land-grant higher ed in the country
2) of all public and private higher ed in Massachusetts
Read and spread widely!!

"Where law ends, tyranny begins."
The president can't just demand $9 billion from Harvard because he feels like it.
If we let power go unchecked, it won’t stop asking. It’ll keep taking. Again and again.
This should be a wake up call for all the “take Trump seriously but not literally” people.
He literally wants tariffs even if they cause economic harm.
He literally supports Putin over Ukraine.
He literally wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
And he literally wants to run for a 3rd term.
