Want another giant rally on the Common? Hold on to that energy. October 17th is the first day of early voting in MA, so go vote, then help your neighbors register. If this election gets interfered with, we will all need to hit the streets in nonviolent protest. Make your plan.

We’re so proud of Mass 50501 volunteer and Army Veteran, Bryan Winter, for speaking truth to power yesterday at the De-ICE Hanscom rally!

October bus tours are usually for fall foliage. Not this one. πŸ‚ ICE flights are leaving from Hanscom Field, and we're going to see it for ourselves. Take the MBTA 76 from Depot Square in Lexington. Oct 9, 13, 26 & Nov 6, 11:45 AM to 1:45 PM. RSVP: deicesignatureaviation.org

No Kings Boston is NOT a rally. We packed the Common with 180,000 people. We don't need another rally -- we need to get to work!

On Oct 17th, you become the organizer: register voters, vote early, build community.

Plan your action at nokings.boston. Empower the people.

Angry about the Cornell case? You should be. On October 8th, people across the nation will stand with Jane Doe and demand justice for all survivors. CORRECTION: Boston rally starts at 5pm! πŸŽ₯: @sandibachom

Black text below reads "Calling all Craftivists! Your crafts can help fight fascism!" Blue text lists the activism themes items should align with: Democracy, Human Rights, Anti-ICE, Pro-LGBTQIA+, and Anti-Fascism. A round black-and-white Mass 50501 logo with the outline of Massachusetts sits to the right of the list. Text below reads "We are accepting these items, with a target pick-up date of early November.

Part 6, the finale of our Nonpartisan Cheat Sheet for Political Isms: neither party is building a one-party state, but leaders in both have abused power. Protect democracy by holding them accountable. Take the Protect The Vote pledge. mass50501.org/protectourvote

@mass50501.bsky.socialSep 29, 2026, 8:08 PM

Democracy doesn't protect itself, people do. Pledge to make a plan to vote, monitor polls, take nonviolent action, prepare our communities, and stand with anyone targeted. Nobody can do everything. Everybody can do something. Pledge with us: mass50501.org/protectourvote

ICE has run 2 days of stops in New Bedford, demanding papers from anyone who "looks like" an immigrant. People here legally are taken 90 min to Burlington, then released w/ no ride home. Need help? Call the LUCE hotline: 617-370-5023. Alert via @lucenewbedford (IG).

BIG AI IS BUYING OFF POLITICIANS. We're doing something about it. As people demand action to stop Big AI from putting our lives in danger, execs from OpenAI, Palantir, and a16z built a monster Super PAC to pay politicians to kill common-sense regulation. Read this 🧡 to learn more.

It's National Voter Registration Day! Massachusetts, mark your calendar: the deadline to register for the Nov 3 election is October 24, 2026. Don't leave your voice off the ballot. Register today, then help someone else do the same. vote.org #ProtectOurVote

Yellow graphic with faint repeating background text reading words like "vote," "election," and "right to vote." Bold black headline reads "It's National Voter Registration Day!" Below, an outline of Massachusetts contains the text "MA Deadline" in black and "October 24, 2026" in maroon. In the lower left, an illustration of the Statue of Torch-bearing arm and face, encircled by a partial blue ring, with maroon text reading "Protect Our Vote."

Part 4 of your Nonpartisan Cheat Sheet for Political Isms: does democratic socialism always slide toward one party, state controlled rule? We break down why that comparison falls apart, using real historical examples. The UK already answered this, through an election, not a coup.

@mass50501.bsky.socialSep 12, 2026, 9:16 PM

Yesterday we said 9/11 brought us together. For many, that unity was through hatred toward the Middle East, and that fear built the surveillance state we live under.

Part 3 of your Nonpartisan Cheat Sheet for Political Isms: what does socialism actually mean? It is about who owns key industries, not which country you picture. We cover the spectrum, from Social Security to postwar nationalizations to full state control.
