We need get ICE out of Massachusetts. There are 3 key things we can do in Massachusetts to protect our neighbors from ICE.

1. Stop MA police, courts, prisons, and jails from helping ICE
2. End the surveillance state from targeting us
3. Hold ICE agents accountable for breaking state laws

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced β€” it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

Mass. orders utilities to spend less ratepayer money on natural gas pipelines Overhauling the Gas System Enhancement Plan will save ratepayers money and help slash planet-warming emissions, without jeopardizing public safety, the state says.

Building upon the climate bill from last session, this order is another step closer towards creating an energy system that is built for people, not profit.

Attorney general targets costly state program intended to fix gas pipes Andrea Campbell argues the program has amounted to billions in costs passed on to ratepayers in their bills. It's also at odds with the state's clean energy goals.

β€œIf we today are still pouring hundreds of millionsβ€”billions honestlyβ€”of dollars into the gas distribution system, we are just burying that money in the ground”

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing. Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.
