Your Congresswoman. Proudly representing the MA 7th. Here to break concrete ceilings & shake the table. Personal account. She/hers. #ChangeCantWait
The rising unemployment rate among Black women is a five-alarm fire.

It is a crisis for Black women, Black families, and Black futures—and a glaring red flag for our economy.

I'm horrified and praying for the two National Guard members shot in Washington, DC, and their loved ones.

No family should endure the trauma of gun violence, especially so close to Thanksgiving.

Black men deserve to grow old — and that starts with their mental health and wellness.

Thank you to Black Men Run and Third Exposure for creating a space to discuss how we can build mental fitness routines for Black men.

Organized power is realized power.

Congratulations to Logan Airport @32bjseiu.bsky.social workers on winning the hard-earned wage increase you deserve.

Your Congresswoman will always have your back.

This was never more than a baseless, racist attack on a strong Black woman who was just doing her job.

Carry on with your good work, sis @newyorkstateag.bsky.social.
BREAKING: The case against Letitia James has ALSO been dismissed without prejudice.

The over 22,000 lives lost yearly to homicide aren't just numbers.

They represent the loved ones & communities still healing from immense loss.

This is not normal and should not be normalized.

The insurrectionist occupant of the White House is openly calling for violence against sitting members of Congress who've bravely served our country.

It is dangerous and must be condemned.
Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

Rita Hester was a beautiful soul and a fixture of the Boston queer community who lived large and unapologetically. Her unsolved murder sparked Transgender Day of Remembrance, but her story is often forgotten.

Today, we celebrate her life and continue the work to end violence against trans women.

I was proud to join our @32bjseiu.bsky.social siblings demanding better wages, benefits, & working conditions at Logan Airport.

Massport has an opportunity to do right by its transport workers, and I urge them to do just that.

Today is a victory and a testament to the bravery of our survivor community.

DOJ must release all the Epstein files NOW.
November 19, 2025 at 3:38 AM
I voted YES to release the Epstein files.

This is a collective victory for every survivor who has ever been ignored or dismissed, and a testament to the strength of our advocacy.

To every survivor who spent decades pressing for this moment thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It is disgraceful that survivors of Epstein's abuse have had to wait decades for transparency and accountability.

And it's even more damning that Congress has to force Trump to do right by these women.

It's time to release the full Epstein files & hold a hearing with survivors.

We won't back down as Trump attacks education and basic freedoms.

Feeling inspired after joining the @edufreedomproj.bsky.social, students, and our allies to make that plain.

Ellen is my constituent and a dedicated federal worker who has literally helped feed our neighbors.

We cannot allow Trump and USDA to fire her just for speaking out and exercising her right to free speech.

She must be reinstated and allowed to continue her essential work.

No contract, no coffee.

I'm proud to stand in solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org as they strike for the wages, dignity, and respect they deserve.

Starbucks must come to the table and negotiate in good faith.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Shame on everyone who voted to deny children food or medicine.

This funding bill is a betrayal of the people, and I voted NO.
November 13, 2025 at 10:59 PM
No one should vote for a bill that forces families to choose between healthcare and food.

I'm voting HELL NO on Republicans' spending bill tonight.

And I'll keep fighting for healthcare and dignity for everyone who calls America home.

Happy Veterans Day.

I'm so grateful for the service and sacrifices of veterans in the Massachusetts 7th and across our country.

Their daily contributions make our communities stronger, and this Congresswoman will always fight for veterans to live with the dignity, respect & resources they deserve.

@repbonnie.bsky.social is a trailblazer, truth-teller, and effective advocate for New Jersey and communities nationwide.

Since day one, she has led with clarity, conviction, and paved the way for Black women like me to serve and lead unapologetically.

Healthcare is a human right.

Democratic Senators should fight for it like lives depend on it because they do.
November 10, 2025 at 3:33 AM
This man is doing everything possible to NOT feed people.

Tonight's Dem victories show we’re a big tent party that wins when we fight for the people—affordability, healthcare, & democracy.

Grateful for every candidate, organizer, & voter.

I feel so hopeful & resolved to keep defending our communities & governing like lives depend on it, because they do.

Congrats Mayor-Elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!

What you accomplished is historic. You led with a politics of transformation, built a movement campaign that met people where they are, and showed what's possible when we lay out an affirmative vision for a more just, affordable city.
November 5, 2025 at 3:31 AM
Congrats to my friend, partner, & sister, Mayor @wutrain.bsky.social on your decisive re-election!

You've led us through consequential times with clear vision & stood firm in defense of our neighbors.

I'm grateful for you—& for the organizers, volunteers & voters who made this victory possible.

From serving as freshmen in the 116th Congress, to fighting for the ERA, to your making history in Virginia.

Congratulations to @abigailspanberger.com for flipping VA & becoming the Commonwealth's first woman Governor.

And TY to the staff, volunteers, & voters who made it possible.
