Note: I don't recommend clicking on the article due to the HUGE number of large ads.

>>In state, local and federal elections across the country, AI has been everywhere from school board campaigns to governor’s races, used to enhance speech, turn politicians into cartoons or, in one notable case in Massachusetts, mimic a rival politician’s voice.

In the state’s gubernatorial race, the campaign of Republican primary candidate Brian Shortsleeve created an AI-generated radio ad that sounds like Democratic Gov. Maura Healey, using Healey’s “voice” to say things she never actually said, including about the state’s economy. The clip does not contain an explicit AI disclaimer, and instead the caption says it’s what her radio ads would sound like “if she was honest.” <<

AI-generated ads are trickling into political campaigns, sparking big worries

At least 15 campaign ads featuring AI-generated content have run since November, stoking concerns that the now-ubiquitous technology could cause confusion or even mislead voters ahead of the 2026 midterm elections

The dark history of a constitutional amendment that now keeps us from becoming Arkansas

On Friday, a federal appeals court ruled Massachusetts does not have to pay for special-education classes for students at private schools, in part because of an amendment to the state constitution that prohibits state aid to any private schools. Sounds like a sort of classic Blue Massachusetts amendment that keeps public funds going to public schools, unlike in states like Arkansas or Louisiana, where public money now goes to pay for religious schools.

(SOS) Save Our Social Security and Other Safety Net Programs at No Kings Boston! · Mobilize

We are the SOS Save Our Social Security team of Indivisible, Cambridge. We are staging a short rally (half hour or 45 minutes) outside at the Park Street T Station, corner of Park and Tremont Streets, to express our indignation at the fact that we are spending 1B every day on the war in Iran, while at the same time people who need safety net programs to get by will be seriously harmed by the cuts this administration has passed in the "Big Beautiful Bill." In fact, behind-the-scenes cuts are already happening because of the layoffs of 7K workers at the Social Security Administration. We will have a few speakers, and we will pass out hand-held signs with jingles on them about the attacks on these programs. After this short rally, we will head down as a group to join with the larger No Kings demonstration. Please join us! Bring friends!

NO KINGS West Roxbury/Roslindale · Mobilize

**We have the power and are claiming it together. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.** What began in 2025 as a single day of defiance has become a sustained national resistance to tyranny, spreading from small towns to city centers and across every community determined to defend democracy. Our peaceful movement is bigger than ever. When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence. On March 28th, let's start the day early here in our community, and with our community. (You can catch the 10:30 train for the downtown event.) Say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings. We’re not watching history happen—we’re making it. Join us! *A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.*
