We do the right thing in life because it's the right thing, not because it's easy or brings profit. Compassion, kindness, love for our neighbor, standing up for the vulnerable and those without voice or power is the duty of all. Cruelty is wrong!

I don't think people realize how much a trillion dollars is.
Let's say you get paid a million dollars per day. That's a lot, right?
If you spend none of it and pay no taxes, you'll have a trillion dollars in approximately two thousand seven hundred (2700) YEARS.
No one should have that much.

Fist circuit denies emergent relief from district court order requiring resumption of SNAP food payments. Administration rushes to Supreme Court. Why they’re hellbent on this one is hard to understand— it’s patently cruel.

The video of a violent ICE apprehension in Fitchburg is deeply disturbing. My office has been in touch with ICE to gather more information about what occurred and why, as well as the City of Fitchburg and Fitchburg PD to offer my support.
