Thank you to the parents, teachers & neighbors who spoke at tonight’s forum.

Salem is considering closing an elementary school to save money. Our cities & towns are facing hard choices because Congress refuses to stand up to Trump.

I will defend the Department of Education & fund the ADA.

Raising the minimum wage is good, but not good enough.

Workers should’t have to constantly fall behind until politicians can be made to do their job.

It is time to do what Michigan, Maine, Ohio, Florida and 16 other states have already done and take the politicians out of it. #IndexTheMinimumWage

Billionaires work very hard to make “the government” into some distant entity.

But we can go to our city council meetings. We can run for office. We can knock on our neighbors’ doors to talk about a candidate we like.

In a free democracy, another way to say “the government” is “all of us”.

Enjoying the St. John’s fall fair today!

It is that time of year: quilts and pies and prints and more. As the days get shorter, we come together.

Politicians talk about socialism like it is some distant thing.

Socialism looks like Salem State, Middleton’s electric light department, our public libraries and New Hampshire’s liquor stores.

Anyone who has made a run up north before a party has enjoyed socialism.

Socialism is good, actually.

We deserve Representatives with the courage to say so.

Yesterday at the Salem Democratic Town Committee meeting, we were asked where we fall on a scale of Schumer to AOC.

I was the only candidate for the Massachusetts 6th willing to give a straight answer: I am proudly progressive.

I won’t hide behind platitudes. You will always know where I stand.

The Salem Transgender Day of Remembrance ceremony was beautiful and moving.

We do not have to bear our grief alone, and so we do not have to look away.
November 21, 2025 at 3:17 AM
This year Transgender Day of Remembrance is especially meaningful for me. Last year I had the honor of helping care for my friend Mel towards the end of their illness.

We mourn. We cherish. We remember.

All of us are sacred. Each of us is loved.

One clear example of how the rich write our laws:

Thanks to this year’s Congress, the first $15,000,000 a kid inherits doesn’t get taxed at all.

If you actually work for your money, taxes start at $14,601.

The rich gutted our silver spoon laws, just because they can.

We have to defeat fascism and build a better nation at the same time.

Anyone talking about only one or the other isn’t going to succeed at either.

Thank you to the Boxford Democratic Town Committee for hosting the candidates for the Massachusetts 6th District!

It was great to meet so many passionate folks and share my vision for how technology can help all of us instead of just making a couple of billionaires even richer.

We can’t demand struggling workers shoulder the cost of climate change while people like Charles Koch swim in their billions.

We need to harness the wealth in America to invest in our future.

Some of the candidates in my race still think that the elections will happen, Trump will leave and suddenly everything is going to go back to “normal”.

I know that fixing this totalitarian mess is going to require truth, reconciliation and consequences.

Starbucks workers are on strike! As a former barista and union member, I am in enthusiastic support.

A “corporation” is more than just the investors and board and CEO. When we stand together, we remind the gold-holders who does the actual work.
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

Thank you Wakefield Democratic Town Committee for hosting me tonight!

The community came together to hear from candidates, support wakefieldfoodpantry.org and celebrate Tuesday’s elections with cider and cookies!

I am very comfortable with my lack of gender.

Partially it’s just because I’ve been like this for decades. But it is also an act of faith.

My religion teaches that my experience of gender is holy and sanctified. To deny my experience would move away from the sacred.

Jeffery Epstein documented his blackmail of Donald Trump.

Now the question is, what did Trump give him in exchange?

I wonder if AI companies understand the damage they are doing by rolling out AI customer service bots.

Many people’s first interaction with “AI” is seeing service get worse.

Even people who aren’t concerned about their jobs are now worried about what it will do to customer service.

At a time when only Barbara Lee voted against the Afghanistan war and Democrats didn’t show up to our protests, Howard Dean covinced me that I belonged in the Democratic Party. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8DbyhQC/

I know what happens when people have to pay for our own healthcare.

Until 2014, most insurance plans didn't cover trans healthcare. People waited years, scrimping & saving. Others never got the care they needed.

With our care covered by insurance, costs didn't rise: they fell.

Today Middleton turned out in the bitter cold to honor our veterans.

Congress has a responsibility to those who serve. By letting Presidents launch wars on a whim, Congress is ignoring that responsibility.

I will take the duties of the office seriously instead of passing the buck.

We appreciate and support @sbworkersunited.org!
it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

The Democratic establishment has chosen the candidate they want to put in the Massachusetts 6th District. He’s moving from DC to run and bringing big money with him.

Free community college will be free to billionaires the same way a tote bag is free to someone who donates $200 to the PTA.

We are all in this society together. Politicians should act like it.
