Write your state rep NOW and urge them to vote no to H.3469 (malegislature.gov/Bills/194/H3...).

Attached is what I wrote my rep based on recommended language from @act-on-mass.bsky.social.
Screenshot of text that reads: Dear Representative Cruz, I’m writing to urge you to vote no on H.3469. Turning the 2030 greenhouse gas targets into non-binding goals removes accountability from the state’s climate commitments. Cutting Mass-Save funding will raise long-term energy costs for households. These changes would move Massachusetts backward at a time when we should be leading on climate initiatives. Please oppose this bill and protect the enforceability of 2030’s greenhouse gas targets. Thank you, Your Name Your Address

I deleted my original comment because I was wrong. This is in reference to bill H.3469 (malegislature.gov/Bills/194/H3...) which was voted out of committee today. Write your Rep ASAP about this.

Here’s what I wrote (based on suggested language from @act-on-mass.bsky.social.

Here’s what I just wrote @warren.senate.gov and @markey.senate.gov. Feel free to use this language & write them TONIGHT. Chuck Schumer must be deposed as Minority Leader.
Screenshot of text that reads: “It is absolutely disgraceful that Democrats caved tonight without any additional funding for ACA subsidies. If Republicans were unwilling to negotiate while Democrats had leverage, there is no way they will negotiate in good faith now. Chuck Schumer demonstrated in March and again tonight that he is unfit to lead a strategic and firm opposition to Trump’s cruel agenda. He must be replaced as Minority Leader. I strongly support Chris Murphy to replace him.”

For folks boycotting Spotify, be sure to:
1. Delete your account entirely so their unpaid subscriber count also goes down.
2. Leave a negative review in the App Store. Here’s what I left.
3. If you are on LinkedIn leave a negative comment on the CEO’s page.

Screenshot of a 1 star review for Spotify in the AppStore. It reads: Title: Spotify supports fascism and domestic terrorism Review: I am revolted that Spotify is airing recruitment ads for DHS/ICE. This agency is terrorizing our communities and kidnapping our neighbors. Hard pass. I switched to Tidal and the sound quality was noticeably better without any ads promoting fascism. I recommend that platform instead.

Seriously. Only one person has done this and the dude gets way too much sunshine blown up his arse.
Screenshot of text that reads, “I became a subscriber when you first offered paid accounts. I just cancelled my Duo Premium account because you are running advertisements for DHS/ICE on Spotify. Shame on you for profiting from Trump’s secret police that is committing human rights violations and terrifying our communities. I hope that you will cease running these ads and donate any money you’ve made from them to the ACLU, the National Immigration Law Center or United We Dream. Stop enabling fascism in this country.”

Bonus action: leave a comment on the Founder/CEO’s LinkedIn page. So far only one person has done this in a sea of sycophantic replies to his posts.

From today’s @politico.com #MassachusettsPlaybook. No lies detected here from @edmarkey.bsky.social’s campaign.
Screenshot of text that reads: “GOOD THURSDAY MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS. Most of the campaign messaging from Seante candidates came via texted and emailed fundraising appeals. Markey’s campaign, in a fundraising email Wednesday described Moulton as a “challenger with a record of walking back on progressive values to appease the extremists in the Republican party.” And Moulton’s campaign warned in text that “at a critical moment for our nation and our democracy” it’s time for “a new generation of leaders in Washington” who will stand up to Trump.”
