Private equity is looting our communities. It's everywhere—our healthcare, our food, our housing, and our businesses. It's unacceptable. We need to get private equity out of our lives now.

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

I don't think we should have an institution where we concentrate this much power with 100 people who we trap in a bubble disconnected from the lives of the average citizen and then hope they can respond correctly when their colleagues do evil that never impacts them because of the bubble.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

All medical professional organizations should be speaking up for the release of Dr. Safiya and an end to the genocide. It is absolutely devastating that children are being targeted, with impunity, and that a pediatrician, who could be saving lives, is instead detained. This is egregious.

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Demand for Immediate Diplomatic Intervention to Save Detained Gaza Pediatrician Dr. Abu Safiya. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/dema...

I don’t know how much we’ll have to repeat — we will govern as we lead, we will lead as we treat each other. We cannot make each other the acceptable trade off for progress. It will always, always, always end like this.

Please rescind your endorsement of Platner immediately, @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social, so that the Maine Democratic Party can pick another candidate before it's too late.

Congrats, @grahamformaine.bsky.social! Maine Democrats chose a fighter with the grit to take on billionaires and giant corporations and WIN. This grassroots movement is just getting started. On to November—let's flip this seat and take back the Senate!

Some Dems who lose primaries are gonna be mostly fine Dems with decent voting records. Too bad. The party, and most importantly the country, are in crisis. Things must change.

People in the UK and the US are increasingly discovering that the Rule of Law relies on decent people being in positions of power - political and legal. We're also finding that decent people aren't usually the ones who want to gain power over others lives.

I'll tell you one thing, any Democratic 2028 presidential candidate who says they're going to "restore balance" and not fire every last Trump appointee on every commission on their first day in office doesn't deserve a single primary vote
