My take on people wearing face masks is very simple: It's not my face, so I mind my own business. That's it. That's the whole take.

2025 RECAP: Trump & Republicans moved heaven and earth to make tax breaks for billionaires permanent by cutting Medicaid, SNAP & other programs families rely on.  Their pro-billionaire agenda has exploded the national debt by trillions while betraying working families.

I mask in public, but have gotten COVID twice. Someone I live with works in healthcare and masks at work, but isn't allowed to ask patients to mask even when they are showing signs of illness.

On twitter, i had blocked hundreds of thousands of accounts. My experience was great. Every time I ran into a tweet from a nazi, I would just use a chain block tool to block that account and every account that followed it. There are billions of people-- you don't have to worry about over-blocking.

Everyone seems outraged that Burlingame would be the city where ice agents are supposedly being housed by the Crown Plaza. Burlingame is one of the most affluent cities of old money and new money in the Bay Area. Let’s not forget that in 2016 they hosted the GOP California convention.

Here is an important life skill people need to relearn: How to board and unboard trains. You enter on the right side. You unboard also on the right side. Meaning you enter on the right people exit on your left. Meaning there is never a reason to cause a pause or get in the way.

Let’s clear something up: the giant cuts to Medicaid in Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill will affect EVERYONE, not just people on Medicaid. Hospitals and nursing homes will be forced to close—and it doesn't matter what kind of insurance you have if there is nowhere to go for care.

Trump officials accidentally texting war plans to a journalist is a massive fuckup. Democrats should use it to remind voters that Trump installed a bunch of unqualified morons to run the government. Every action these sycophants like Hegseth and Vance take makes Americans less safe.

My statement on the 60th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday.
Senator Markey Statement on 60th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday 

“Sixty years ago, fearless men and women marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, knowing they would face violence but refusing to turn back. Their courage in the face of brutal violence forced this nation to confront its own hypocrisy and led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. We honor indomitable leaders like John Lewis and Amelia Boynton Robinson, who bled for justice and never stopped marching and fighting for freedom. Their sacrifice paved the way for progress, but our work is far from finished. 

As we commemorate this historic day, we must recognize that voter suppression, racial injustice, and political division still threaten the democracy so many generations fought to secure. We must recommit ourselves to passing strong voting rights protections beginning with the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to ensure every American can freely and fairly participate in our electoral system. We must fight against the forces that seek to erase history, restrict rights, and divide our nation. 

The march for justice did not end in Selma—it continues today. Honoring the legacy of Bloody Sunday means not only remembering the past but taking bold action to build a more just and equitable future for all.”
