Dance dad, husband to a crazy wife, Auburn MA Selectman, USA Dance, Inc VP, Transportation nerd, & former Republican turned Dem activist. Personal account.
I don’t know him personally, but I’m told he’s a @massdems.bsky.social central MA leader which leaves me to wonder if this is really what our party leaders should be saying about female candidates for office from our own party? With Dems like this, who needs MAGA Republicans? Do better!

Setti was an excellent Mayor in Newton who I proudly voted for and I always hoped that he would re-enter politics and seek higher office. RIP Mr Mayor.
Setti Warren, who served two terms as mayor of Newton, Mass., has died. Warren, a Navy veteran who was the first African-American to be popularly elected to a mayoral seat in the state, also ran for governor and the US Senate. He was 55. https://bit.ly/3JyIzqb

This is the leadership I would have liked to see in Massachusetts instead of a political press conference that encouraged donating more. I’ll donate - but real leadership from a Governor would have been nice. Betting Sonia Chang Diaz would have delivered

I honestly find it hilarious that maga right wingers love to call people ‘snowflakes’ &mention safe spaces.
But release a light hearted educational quiz about walking, biking, traffic safety and watch them loose their minds. I wonder if they see the irony in being so triggered by a Facebook post?

Love that Worcester DTM has put these up on select crosswalks in the city. Small sample size, but I really think they help! I feel like I’ve had cars stop for me that normally wouldn’t.

All Hail the Humble Speed Hump
These simple, cheap traffic-calming devices are both effective and wildly popular with (most) residents. Here’s why more cities are going all-in on speed humps.

Ensuring children can safely walk, bike, & roll to school needs to be a priority for any community that wants to be considered safe & accessible for all.

Not getting into the politics of it - but wanted to provide info. In 2024 Worcester installed (for 1st time) 20 permanent speed humps & 44 seasonal humps. This year we’re constructing 36 permanent, 3 raised x-walks, & 40 seasonal humps. To grow from 20 seasonal to this in 2 years is a good thing.

When I first ran, I said that if @TownofAuburn was going to be serious about helping our seniors age in place, we needed to get serious about tax reform. That’s why I co-authored an article for Town Meeting to file home rule legislation to update the 41C Senior Property Tax benefit.

Senate Leader Schumer is the exact reason why Democrats get pushed around and can’t win. If our leadership doesn’t have a spine, how can we expect voters to believe we are serious about fighting for them? He needs to go, now!

I get very in the weeds about this because I teach about how we develop and maintain hope, and ultimately I don't think having hope means we think things will be okay. I think it means that we believe there's something worth fighting for.

Gov. Healey’s 2026 budget proposal would layoff half of the state’s mental health case workers who help thousands of MA’s most vulnerable residents.
“Phew, Trump is distracting everyone. Let’s lay-off mental health case workers.”
