I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

This incident is a shocking reminder that the Trump administration's deportation agenda has never been about public safety. State lawmakers must act to protect our communities from violent ICE operations that undermine public safety, separate families, and spread chaos in our communities.
A video is going viral of a man in Fitchburg who appeared to suffer a seizure while holding a baby as immigration authorities tried to detain him.

So damn much trauma. And also in Massachusetts, not far from where I sit right now, a 13yo was abducted by ICE and sent out of state. Now he will “voluntarily self deport”. I’ve been trying to amplify this horrific story and would love it if you could help me do so… bsky.app/profile/ruth...
A few weeks ago I wrote about a 13 year old boy from Massachusetts who had been abducted by ICE and sent to a detention center in Virginia. I wrote about the trauma of a child being separated from his family and community, and I posed the question:
What are we doing here?
I have some updates.

Trump: I demolished the People’s House for my big beautiful ballroom paid for by my rich friends so we can throw lavish parties while millions starve without health care.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.
It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.
It corrupts our political system every day.

So happy to see a strong turnout even in a small town such as Pepperell, MA which tends to run a bit purple. Lots of inflatables out too!

This is something everyone who is either ready to collect SS or in a position to help someone who is should be aware of!
‼️‼️‼️ Got word of a new way the billionaire in charge of SSA is fucking over the American people!!!! TLDR: This will definitely lead to people applying for benefits losing out on money, and probably some hefty lawsuits for attorneys that know what’s up. The long version is gonna be long so let’s go.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.
They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.
