Partizane 2007 – 2008 was a home, a hidey hole away from the usual progressive haunts. We weren’t a huge group but we were comfy here. At least until some questioned my feminism and I had to come to terms with my inner misogynist. I hope I’ve grown in 10 years. Time will tell, but I try. 2023 is different and the stakes are way higher. I’m not sure what I want this site to be. I just know that I cannot sit idly by as my country descends into fascism.

By Elaine Godfrey Mike Capuano has been a progressive force for decades. The Massachusetts congressman backed “Medicare for All” well before it was fashionable, and he led the effort to make Somerville a so-called “sanctuary city” more than 30 years ago. His speech berating bank CEOs for their role in the last recession was immortalized in a 2010 documentary. And Trump? He’s supported an impeachment vote. Nevertheless, progressives want more. Ayanna Pressley, a 44-year-old African American woman and a Boston City Council member, is running against Capuano from the left.
