Jamie Belsito Endorsed by Track AIPAC

Jamie Belsito Endorsed by Track AIPAC

Hi everyone, this is my first post here, but I'm writing to say why I'll be voting for Jamie Belsito for the 6th District Primary on September 1st.

Jamie is unbought and unbossed. She isn't taking a dime of corporate PAC money or Super PAC money, unlike Tram Nguyen and Dan Koh. Jamie has been on the frontlines about Israel since before October 7, so you know she's a real one. Jamie is the leader we need to get Medicare for All passed, Abolish ICE, pass an AI data center moratorium, and get money out of politics! As someone who is pretty politically involved, having been to multiple candidate forums, and having done my own research into individual donors for each campaign, I can tell you that Jamie is the only progressive who has the experience and willpower to get things done.

I hope you'll join me in Supporting Jamie Belsito. I can answer any questions about my findings on the other candidates, and I really encourage dialogue about this race in the comments!

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signs later-term abortion bill into law

Gov. Maura Healey on Monday signed into law a measure that loosens limits on later-term abortions in Massachusetts.

Previously, state law permitted abortions up to 24 weeks, with exceptions for cases involving a deadly fetal diagnosis or to protect the life of the mother. The new law eliminates these exceptions, putting the decision in the hands of the patient and health care providers.

Brookline News: A conversation with Rep. Jake Auchincloss

Felt like sharing this since it was recently uploaded and is the second part of these interviews. It was originally supposed to be a debate between Jason Poulos and Auchincloss, but Jake declined. Hope there are more people who are willing to support Jason Poulos after watching this.

How do everyone from this feels about Jonathan Paz?

Just wondering, how do you feel about him? Are you planning to vote for him or will you vote for Katherine Clark or Tarik Samman instead? Do you think Paz can able to win Waltham?

The fact that he couldn’t even win for mayor of Waltham in 2023 when it should be winnable for him as he lost by double digits give me think that he is not really ready to win against a very powerful incumbent. The fact that he has Flock ties and the way he expressed came across dishonest imho. I rather to vote for Tarik Samman before these two even if he drops out anytime soon. And if I am forced to vote for either Clark or Paz, I would vote for Clark simply because I do not trust Paz at all mainly over the Flock stuff.

100% Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption

🇺🇸 Massachusetts Veterans — FULL PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION (S.1988)

***Contact your state legislators NOW to share your support for S.1988 and help Massachusetts catch up with the many other states that already provide this important benefit to 100% disabled veterans.

S.1988 is legislation that would provide a full property tax exemption on the primary residence of veterans rated 100% disabled due to service-connected disabilities in Massachusetts.

The bill has already been reported favorably by the Joint Committee on Revenue and has now moved to the Senate Committee on Ways and Means.

Our neighboring states of Connecticut and New York have already passed legislation providing full property tax exemptions for qualifying 100% disabled veterans, joining numerous other states across the country that already offer this benefit.

Massachusetts veterans and residents who care about this issue can follow the bill’s progress and contact their own state legislators to share their views on S.1988.
