With our students back at school, I visited the @BostonHigashiSchool in Randolph to meet with staff, students, & tour the campus.
They’re doing transformative, full-circle work to uplift our students, center equity in education, & strengthen our communities.

This moment of crisis in Gaza demands moral clarity & decisive action from the U.S.
As newborn & infants die of starvation, we cannot look away.
I’m leading 100+ of my colleagues with @RepPettersen in calling for @SecRubio to facilitate aid and baby formula to enter Gaza.

Like Donald Trump himself, the death penalty is flawed and deeply racist.
It is a fundamentally unjust punishment that has no place in any society.
My full statement on his calls to expand the death penalty in Washington, DC:

Barbershops & salons are more than businesses – they’re community hubs, spaces of mentorship, culture, & connection.
I joined @SenatorLizMiranda & @JuliaForBoston in Roxbury to hear directly from salon owners on the challenges they’re facing around licensing & workforce development.

Beautiful day in Everett with my friend @SenSalDiDomenico listening to local entrepreneurs.
Small businesses are the anchors of our community.
With higher costs, supply chain issues, & fear of destructive immigration enforcement, we’ll keep defending & fighting for them to thrive.

Kids should not fear going to school. Parents should not fear for their babies’ lives when they kiss them goodbye.
I’m heartbroken for the victims, families, & community at Annunciation Catholic in Minnesota.
This trauma is preventable. We must take action against gun violence.

Catalina “Xóchitl” Santiago is a farmworker, DACA recipient, & beloved community organizer who helped undocumented immigrants get drivers licenses in Massachusetts.
She was unlawfully detained while boarding a flight for work & is being targeted for deportation.
This is the same playbook Trump has used to criminalize immigrants and activists who center the dignity & humanity of all people.
Xóchitl must be released immediately and reunited with her family.

This is another baseless attack on a Black leader by the occupant of the White House desperate to distract from his failure to lower the cost of living.
We stand with Governor Cook, and her unlawful firing cannot be allowed to stand.

Imagine a military blockade stands between you and the ability to feed your hungry baby.
That is the reality for parents in Gaza right now.
@RepPettersen and I are leading 101 members of Congress in calling on Secretary Rubio to pressure the Israeli government to urgently surge aid and infant formula to babies at risk of starvation.
