Some personal news: I’m not asking for your vote to be Cambridge’s next Mayor. Here’s the problem though — no one is. It’s time we changed that. bit.ly/CambridgeMayor

Las week, In the midst of a tornado warning, we had a full house of community leaders and members, fired up about the vision of a city and state that can pass progressive policy and isn’t stymied by State House Leadership who aren’t meeting the moment to fight for working people. – at Cambridge, MA

Had a great time shoveling out crosswalks, bus stops, fire hydrants and sidewalks with @evanforcambridge and other @boston_dsa friends this morning!

After a big snowstorm, it takes a lot of hands to get sidewalks and streets clear again. Thanks to DPW and Cambridge residents for all your work! And if you see a dangerous sidewalk or intersection that still needs to be cleared, please feel to reach out

"The actions we saw from the Trump administration are a violation of international law, they're also a violation of American laws," said Cambridge City Councilmember Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler. 📷 @wbztv

"No matter how you feel about our president. If another country came into the United States and kidnapped the president, we would be outraged."

Hot take: Community-led governance isn’t scary. It’s actually two RFS alumni on the Cambridge City Council fighting like hell for affordable housing. @VoteJivan and Ayah Al-Zub are proving that governing with values is very much a thing. Your move. Run for office.

And as of 24 hours before Inauguration Day, it’s unclear who the next mayor will be because no City Councillor has the 5 votes they need.

It’s time we let more Cambridge residents than just the nine of us on City Council choose who fills this important role for our city government and schools

Proud to stand with Harvard custodians & security guards from @32BJSEIU in their contract fight. Cambridge residents rallied alongside the Harvard community when it was attacked by Trump. If Harvard wants Cambridge to have its back, it needs to have the back of its workers

@VoteJivan: "We all stood out here on Cambridge Common when Harvard was being attacked by the Trump Administration. [...] I am here to deliver the message that if Harvard wants Cambridge residents to stand with it, Harvard needs to have the backs of its workers!"

The results are a win for housing & childcare affordability, safer streets, & being a welcoming city. I’m committed to making sure they are a win for working people in Cambridge. I’m so grateful to everyone who made our 1st successful re-election campaign possible. Thank you!
