I just voted HELL NO to giving ICE a single penny. Congress should not be funding an agency that has terrorized our communities, kidnapped our neighbors, and killed people on the street with impunity. We must abolish ICE and end qualified immunity for ICE agents NOW.

Statement on ICE Shooting of Renee Nicole Good

Tonight, our hearts are with Renee Good’s family and loved ones as they grieve this terrible loss. Once again, we can see with our own eyes the cruel and vicious agenda of the Trump administration. To protect our residents, we must end the mass deployment of ICE agents into American cities and restore rule of law and basic accountability from the federal government. Boston stands with the people of Minneapolis.

Grateful for @massgovernor.bsky.social & @massago.bsky.social’s leadership for the 143,000 Boston residents and 1M MA residents who rely on SNAP to keep nutritious food on the table and keep dollars in our local economies. SNAP was not designed as & cannot continue as a state by state program.

This might resolve depending on the next court case, but I would love to see a map that summarizes which states provided full benefits in November, which provided half benefits, and which provided nothing. Absolutely chaotic.

NEW: A federal judge ordered the Trump admin to fund food stamps in full this month. Pretty quickly, DOJ said it would appeal. Now, millions of poor families are in limbo, and it is not entirely clear if/when they're going to see *any* SNAP payments in Nov. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

If the Trump administration allows SNAP benefits to expire, 140,000 Boston residents could lose vital food benefits that contribute $30 million to our small businesses and grocery stores. The majority of Boston’s SNAP recipients are seniors, people with disabilities, and families with children.

This is hard for Americans to understand. We've never lived with mass hunger. SNAP & other food programs have been *that* successful that we forgot what problem they solve. It's kinda like the Dutch going "Huh, we haven't flooded in like 70 years. I guess we can blow up all these dikes!"

In small towns across the country, SNAP does more than feed families — it keeps local grocery stores open. Trump’s proposed cuts would hit rural areas hardest, where hunger is already rising and options are few. www.al.com/news/2025/06...

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ food stamp cuts may kill rural grocery stores: ‘We already have hungry kids’

Together, the changes would remove more than 3 million Americans from SNAP.

Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics…

Consider a parent w/ a 2nd grader who works for a small business and gets laid off when sales fall after tariffs raise their costs. Or a parent without sick leave who loses his job when his child gets very sick. Both could lose their SNAP benefits & not have enough to feed their kids.
