KD— 30 something year old mom, school committee member, who believes in democracy, is ready to punch nazis, and uninterested in misogynistic mind fuckery.
I wrote about the Draft MA Dems’ 2025 platform. Some commitments shine with clear links to policies. But for systematically marginalized communities, commitments are treated as aspirational instead of clear & actionable.

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond.
Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around.

NEW: A federal judge in Massachusetts grants a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration from deporting people to third countries without telling them where they're going and allowing them to raise fears of persecution or torture.
