Our district is home to the first public library in the US and the founder of our public education system. With immense pride and joy, I voted YES today on legislation to enshrine in our state law the right to read and free expression.

I’m tired of headlines like this that wrongly draw a false equivalence between the parties’ positions. Congressional Dems are fighting for food and health care. Congressional GOPs want … more chaos and economic mess? Mass hunger? Secret police? Terror in our streets? Musk to become a trillionaire?

That’s 1618 #measles cases so far this year, exclusive of the unreported/untracked cases, the highest count in the last quarter-century. And we still have 2+ months to go. And measles is still spreading, starting w/ clusters in schools. #publichealth #vaccinate #science

“I don’t know” whether he needs to uphold the Constitution.
No law degree necessary here, folks.
Our democracy is in crisis. Make no mistake about it.

I didn’t watch Trump’s speech last night. I stood w/ fellow lovers of #democracy on the State House steps, in front of this stoic reminder that we must live up to our promise of being a Beacon on a Hill, esp re democracy and #elections. We have serious work to do in MA. We must act now. 🧵
