We’re still celebrating St. Paddy's in Methuen following the 1st St. Patrick’s Day parade! ☘️ #mapoli
No kings. Just community.

So now we're stuck with an imperfect approach to critical issue, and, I hope, an understanding that if it fails the legislature will take all the wrong lessons from it. It needs to pass, because this is literally the best we're getting and the only way we're getting it. 4/4 #mapoli
The problem is, we've tried for years to do this the "right" way and the legislature has flatly refused to move on it, despite the intendifying housing crisis. The lack of urgency from our electeds, except around things they can score cheap virtue signal points for, forced our hands. 3/4 #mapoli
Ballot initiatives are a nuclear option and, in my opinion, the worst possible way to pass legislation. Why? They lack nuance. Someone who wants rent control but hates this proposal can't lobby to change specific provisions. We have a binary choice: "this specific language or nothing". 2/4 #mapoli
Tangential to this point, it is also a "must pass", so some people who don't support all of it will vote because of the consequencesof failure. Namely, the legislature saying "see, people don't actually want rent control. Sitting on our hands was the correct choice. 1/4 #mapoli

Wow. 800 showed up in the little city of #Easthampton #MA to say #NoKings. We talked about our progressive values and immigration, housing, climate, war, Palestine, fascism. We sang, we shared poetry. We came together to fight for our democracy. @edc01027.bsky.social @arliek.bsky.social #mapoli

Utter incoherence from the @bostonglobe.com reporter here. First he says Lexington is firing teachers due to declining enrollment, and then he says Lexington is worried that all the new housing will bring in new students. Some NIMBY logic here. #mapoli www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/27/m...
