Hello Bluesky. I’m back. The next several years are going to take a mass mobilization to save all of creation. And we can build it—together.
Viola Fletcher survived the Tulsa Race Massacre, bore witness to one of our nation’s darkest days, and spent a century demanding justice. Her voice refused silence. Her legacy refuses erasure. Rest in power, Mother Fletcher. We will not forget.

Pete Hegseth take notes. This is what a real Patriot looks like.
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

A mother of three who came to this country to care for her children was snatched by ICE at her place of work.
Unacceptable and un-American. We're better than this. ICE must be held accountable.

It's been almost five years since Donald Trump led an angry mob to the Capitol with a gallows and noose in tow.
Now he's calling for members of Congress to be hanged.
To my Republican colleagues:
When are you going to stand up against this violent dictator?

AFGE is the largest federal worker union in the country. I am grateful for their endorsement. We have to keep up the fight to make sure working people in Massachusetts and across the country are treated with fairness, respect, and dignity.

Threats to rural hospitals were just the tip of Republicans' Medicaid cuts iceberg.
Hospitals all across this country—in cities and towns—are at an extreme risk.
We must reverse these cuts before it's too late.

This is not a joke. Donald Trump reposted these horrific calls for violence against Senators and Members of Congress last night.
This is a red alert moment. We must all say no to this authoritarian overreach.

I am disgusted by the racist, transphobic attacks on MCSW Commissioner Giselle Byrd. Massachusetts will not be intimidated. We must all come together to say no to hate. No to violence. No to attacks on transgender members of our community living as their true selves.

The sacred act of public service is a decision thousands of public servants and federal workers make because they care about their communities. Trump and his billionaire buddies have punished them for speaking out. I stand with workers like Ellen to get the fair treatment they deserve.

It is a massive mistake to strip tens of millions of people of their health insurance. It’s an outright betrayal of what families need.

Health care costs are skyrocketing.
Energy costs are skyrocketing.
Grocery costs are skyrocketing.
Voters came out on Tuesday to say its time to put an end to the corruption and chaos leading to these extreme costs.
Republicans are refusing to listen. youtu.be/ZZwbfUvsRek?...

You are about to see harrowing footage of a father in Fitchburg, MA being brutalized by masked ICE agents while holding his terrified, crying baby.
The Trump admin and every ICE agent who terrorizes our communities must be held to account for their inhumane, illegal actions.
