That, in a state like Massachusetts, we even have to have this “discussion” is so upsetting.
Progressive Mass@progressivemass.bsky.social · 4w agoEd Markey stands up for Transgender people and believes that trans kids should be embraced and treated with dignity. Seth Moulton scapegoats Trans kids for political "gain"; make sure he learns doing so is a political loser.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · last mo.AWFUL. Ordering ICE to target an ethnic group the president has repeatedly attacked is bigotry as official government policy. TPS recipients are the most vetted immigrants here. They have to pass background checks every 18 months. Most Haitians with TPS entered legally also!
City leaders, state officials and immigration advocates rallied on Boston's City Hall Plaza Thursday to urge Congress to extend Temporary Protected Status for Haitians living in the U.S.
As time runs out on TPS for Haitians, leaders and advocates in Boston urge Congress to take action
The legal status of Haitians in the country with TPS is set to lapse by next week after a Supreme Court decision in June allowed the Trump administration to terminate the program for Haitians and Syrians.

A death at the hands of ICE. While he didn’t die in ICE custody, his loss can absolutely be attributed to their evil work. And in the onslaught of news, I want to make sure his story is not lost. His name was Rev Ben Madu, of Nigeria. And of Massachusetts. 🧵 www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/03/m...

This interview illustrates so much about wannabe President Moulton. He scapegoated transgender children for the election loss, denied it, got angry, said it again, and refuses to apologize. Now he's speaking out both sides of his mouth on the SCOTUS anti-trans ruling. Ed Markey has never wavered.

The Democratic congressman from Massachusetts joined WBUR's Morning Edition to respond to the criticism from those within his party and LGBTQ+ advocates.

After @tizianadearing.bsky.social quotes his post-election comments, Moulton denies he talked about trans kids, then does it again immediately. Seth Moulton: You gotta listen. We should be able to talk about contentious issues, like, what are we going to do about trans kids in sports?
