Seriously, @bostonglobe.com? This is inexcusable. Not 200. 1,200. Terrorists burned them alive. Gunned them down at Nova and in their beds. Raped and brutally tortured them. Looking forward to a substantial apology for this egregious error that woefully disrespects their memories. #mapoli

Disgusted by that? Me too. Your vote is your voice. Use it to support democracy, not oligarchy controlled by the uber-wealthy. #Vote Healey-Driscoll. For the people, not a plutocracy. PS I crafted legislation to stop this wildly unethical, undemocratic self-funding. #mapoli @massdems.bsky.social

GOP nominee for governor Mike Minogue is trying to buy his way into the corner office, with $17,300,000 of his own money so far. That's roughly the equivalent of paying for universal school meals for an entire month. And that $17.3M doesn't include anything he's added in the last week. #mapoli

May we first see the shared humanity in each other, and may we see the realization of a true two-state solution, where peace-seeking Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side, free from terror and extremism.

May the memories of the 10/7 victims continue to be a blessing. May the survivors of that horrific day and everyone impacted find comfort amid grief.

Three years ago, Hamas terrorists massacred more than 1,200 people at the Nova Festival and in southern Israeli communities, and kidnapped and tortured or murdered hundreds more. The worst mass slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust, it unleashed the worst onslaught of Jew hatred since the Holocaust.

The primary ballots are arriving! This one is significant, independent of the names appearing on it. For many years, Dem ballots in MA have been red, while GOP ballots have been blue. Result? Voter confusion. I filed legislation this term to fix that problem, and here we are. #mapoli #vote

The confirmed #measles case count so far this year is now 2371, in only 7 months, compared to 2289 in all of 2025. Only 7 states haven't reported cases in 2026. Only 16 of these cases were imported, #CDC reports. www.cdc.gov/measles/data...

Three days. Three headlines. Meteoric fall for a candidate that never should have run in the first place and a campaign that should have ended many months prior.

Well it’s about time. The fact that it took him this long speaks volumes about his actual motives. The fact that it didn’t happen over the Nazi tattoo (and he never actually got rid of it) speaks volumes too. #ByeGraham Via @bostonglobe.com: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/08/n...

The fact that @grahamformaine.bsky.social has not yet withdrawn tells you everything you need to know about why he got into the race in the first place. And it was never about ousting Susan Collins. PS it should’ve ended with the Nazi tattoo

Do it now, Mr. Platner, so @mainedems.bsky.social can replace you on the November ballot. Dearest Mainers, it’s a false dichotomy between an antisemitic rapist and Susan Collins. Don’t fall for it.

Exactly how many disqualifiers will it take? @grahamformaine.bsky.social says he’s “taking time” to assess but it doesn’t actually require any time at all. DROP OUT. And don’t come at me with the hideous misdeeds of others. The fact that the GOP’s bar is 6’ under doesn’t mean ours should be.

Sometimes you file a bill and it becomes law. Other times you file a bill and then it happens by executive action. (I filed this back in January.) #mapoli #ice www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

Healey bars ICE from getting undercover license plates for civil arrests
“Massachusetts is not going to allow state resources to be used to help ICE operate in secret while they are violating people’s rights and making us all less safe,” said a state spokesperson.

Synagogues should be places of celebration, not sites subjected to hate-fueled shootings. My heart is with the Temple Israel community in MI, and all Jewish communities across the country. We have faced this too many times. Thank you to the public safety and security personnel for your swift action.

Engaging in warrantless civil arrests in these places is a gut punch to American values and human decency. I wholeheartedly support this effort and the related Executive Order to prohibit new 287(g) agreements and stop ICE from using state facilities as staging areas. #mapoli #ICE #ICEout

I’ve cosponsored every single bill in MA, helping to craft one, and I’m trying to think of and research more that we might do; ultimately, this is about the GOP-controlled Congress and the Cabinet. How many more will suffer or die before they do the right thing?

Another person dead by the hands of Trump’s ICE agents. Horrifying and heartbreaking. May Alex Pretti not have died in vain, and may his memory be a blessing. Trump’s ICE in communities brings nothing but danger, fear, harm, and death.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

Just a few weeks ago, I took this photo from the spot on the Lincoln Memorial where Dr. King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech. I can’t imagine what that moment must have felt like for him, nor what he would think of this country now. May you have a meaningful and motivational #MLKDay.

Amy Klobuchar: "There are now more ICE agents in Minnesota than there are police officers combined in Minneapolis and St. Paul. So they are outnumbering our own local police officers out on the streets."
