I’m thinking of all the people who pose no threat to society & whose lives are deteriorating due to our mass incarceration crisis & unjust criminal legal system.
For the families harmed by mass incarceration, @POTUS must act.
Here’s my statement on his pardon this week.
Our smallest neighborhood businesses are the backbones of our communities.
They help us build community & boost our local economies.
This #SmallBusinessSaturday, I’m celebrating local small businesses in the #MA7 like Brother’s Kafé Kreyol in Everett.
The attack on our books and right to learn has been relentless.
Grateful for spaces like @justbook_ish in Dorchester that stand in the gap, center a community-focused mission, & help us push back against the silencing of voices.
It was a joy to celebrate their grand opening.
Mass incarceration is one of our country’s greatest failures—and it’s deeply personal to me.
@POTUS must use his clemency authority to confront mass incarceration, reunite families, & advance healing.
We must do everything in our power to save lives while we still can.
It’s always a joy to join Mrs. Shillingford and the team at Shirley’s Pantry for their annual Thanksgiving food drive.
Grateful for all they do to address food insecurity and keep our communities fed this holiday season and year-round.
No one should die because they were denied medical care while in custody.
My Andrew Kearse Accountability for Denial of Medical Care Act with @SenWarren would hold officers criminally accountable for denying care.
An important step toward a fair & just criminal legal system.
Republicans’ “anti-DEI” bill is a disgrace.
On one hand, it says that racism doesn’t exist. On the other hand, it says there’s rampant “reverse racism.”
This is the unserious work of the Republican Party.
P.S. they should keep MLK’s name out their mouth.
Clemency works. Clemency heals. Clemency saves lives.
With just over 60 days left in his presidency, @POTUS must use his clemency authority to confront mass incarceration & reunite families.
I joined @RepJamesClyburn, @RepMGS, @RepIlhan & our advocates to call him to do just that.
The Senate must approve @SenSanders’ Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block the sales of offensive arms to the Israeli government.
I’ve met with doctors who tried to save Palestinian children shot in the head.
I’ve sat with moms who watched their babies burn & die slowly in Israeli air strikes.
Congress must enforce U.S. law.
We should NOT be going back to Betsy DeVos-era education policy.
This is a dangerous step backward that will put students at risk and exacerbate the trauma of survivors.
Stop the Republican Rip Off.
Project 2025 told us Trump would try to gut the federal workforce & we'd lose the dedicated civil servants who keep our govt running.
That's exactly what we're seeing now.
If he gets his way, millions will experience delays in services like tax refunds, passport renewals, FAFSA… https://x.com/i/web/status/1885380021214392589

Never understood why Biden didn't get rid of him...
TRUTH TO POWER-"Racism Has No Bounds" by Robert Lester Simmons I would love nothing more than to sit on my hands on the sidelines sipping my morning coffee, but for the absurdity playing out before my eyes. I am informed the Missouri Attorney General sues Starbuck because it's hiring practices leads to less White and more women to be hired. This, without a shed of empirical evidence, the Missouri AG leads to higher prices for Starbuck items because of the incompetency by such workers. Aside from the fact, Starbucks eliminates DEI as part of its hiring practices, the absurdity of this AG's lawsuit against Starbucks is palpable. In a normal legal environment, not the "new normal" that the conservative right creates the Missouri AG's lawsuit would be tossed right out of court, at the very least as frivilous". However, because MAGAmaniacs and the Trump administration manage to conflate policy and legal standards into one of "politics" what normally fails to pass legal and professional responsibility falls by the wayside. Clearly, the Missouri AG is intent upon advancing a political policy position with no clear basis in law without any factual basis in law for his lawsuit against Starbucks. Once again, MAGAmaniacs' goal is to confuse the public over the rule of law in favor of some amorphous political objective in support of White Supremacy. The time and effort we all spend with these nonsensical legal maneuvers by MAGAmaniacs are better spent working together towards a more egalitarian society where no one feels threatened. Alas, this approach represents the "road less traveled," in favor of the "path of least resistance" where those in power find it easier to hate than it is to love thy neighbor.
I pity the fool
