Cold outside but the crowd inside warmed up listening to @patrickroath.bsky.social answer questions about MA-08 race & issues. Hoped to hear from Lynch too. Great collaboration of @indivisible.org & @progressivemass.bsky.social groups across the district.

Patrick Roath is challenging Stephen Lynch in the September Democratic primary for the 8th CD in MA. Roath is a voting rights attorney with a history of deep progressive activism in the Commonwealth. He is up with a new ad:

It would be great if some civic-minded data types could create an omnibus calendar of all Congressional town halls for easy access by constituents and local media. Not a heavy IT lift for what could really pay off in voter engagement.

1/4 thread... Good trouble at the Hingham MA resistance rally today. The history of this particular protest is instructive of how a few good people can help build a movement. This protest has been ongoing since Feb.

Where is Susie Wiles? We were promised an amalgam of James Baker III, Thomas Cromwell, and Machiavelli, sprinkled with NFL royalty fairy dust, who would temper the worst impulses of the Mad King. She is utterly invisible and irrelevant.
