Thank you National Community Reinvestment Coalition - NCRC for the opportunity to convene in Nashville with other community development practitioners to chart new pathways in a challenging environment. I’m heartened by the resolve of my peers, and encouraged by our unity. #JustEconomy

Straight from the horse's mouth:

Found this old ad from the Episcopal Church and this is insane

I’ve been thinking about how often we lead well—and still hesitate to say, “I did that.” This isn’t about ego. It’s about being honest about what we make possible. Leadership isn’t always loud. Sometimes it looks like results. 📝 New post: You Did That. Say It. open.substack.com/pub/lylekimb...

This is just creepy as hell. I’d never want to work for a company that wants to surveil employees’ day-to-day. People have got to push back on this kinda stuff. apple.news/AZD0QR0kmQmu...

DOGE access to the DOE information technology system is unacceptable. We must keep Elon Musk and his minions away from our most sensitive nuclear weapons information. I am demanding answers from Secretary Wright. www.reuters.com/world/us/dem...

Yesterday, the richest man in the world fired hundreds of workers who support America’s small businesses. After being rescinded last week, pink slips were reissued this morning. DOGE doesn't 'measure twice, cut once' they cut twice, then cut again. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

It’s disturbing, but at the same time ppl will recognize this is not longer a legitimate institution. Artists and art lovers will always find genuine artistic expression and they’ll make spaces for it to live. An institution is not what makes art art.

This is what they mean when they said they wanted to "run the United States like a business"--strip it of everything of value and make off with the money.

He is. Please fight.

Very sad news. Danielle was a lovely person and a powerful voice for the Haitian diaspora in Boston and far beyond.

Danielle Legros Georges, who moved to Boston from Haiti with her parents at age 6 and became Boston's Poet Laureate under Mayor Walsh, died of cancer on Feb. 11 at her Dorchester home. www.dotnews.com/2025/bostons...

And harder at that!!!!!

In case you're wondering what state AGs do, my office recently returned: 💸 $50k to a consumer whose house was damaged during a solar panel installation 💸 $480 to a consumer charged by a gym they didn't even belong to 💸 $590 to a consumer charged for a sprinkler system they declined installation for

Still in awe this AM about what @burhanazeem.bsky.social @councillorsiddiqui.bsky.social @marcgov.bsky.social, their 5 other allies on the Cambridge City Council, and the pro-homes advocates at A Better Cambridge have achieved. www.cambridgeday.com/2025/02/10/i...

I’m not sure why anyone thinks this administration is going to respect the rule of law when they’ve made it clear they absolutely will not.

Congratulations! This a phenomenal win!

Trump's attack on NIH funding is a reckless attack on science, innovation, and the people who depend on them. It will gut critical research, kill jobs, and put lives at risk—especially in the #MA7, a global hub for cutting-edge research. My full statement:

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

it's like AOC is the only person who is expressing an actual emotion here

You are not overreacting. Don’t trust anyone who tries to tell you otherwise.

Next Thursday, RFK Jr. will sit before our Senate HELP Committee. We cannot allow America’s already broken health care system to be run by someone so dangerous and unqualified.

Forcing employees to snitch on each other is the type of dangerous tactic you see from authoritarian governments. And it leaves people of color, women, LGBTQIA+ folks, and those with disabilities further at risk. Shameful.

The Secretary of Defense has to be ready to go 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.   Pete Hegseth has exercised terrible judgement with alcohol, and we cannot trust him with our national security.   I hope my Republican colleagues are thinking hard about the choice in front of them.

A cold advisory has been declared in @boston.gov through Thursday! Stay safe: Dress in layers, limit time spent outside, and check on your neighbors. For cold weather tips and resources visit boston.gov/cold. 📸Leslie Jones ca. 1930

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

Trump's rollback of DEI initiatives are an affront to all of us.   It is a FACT that systemic oppression codified in our laws & budgets has harmed women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ & disabled folks, & many others.   Diversity is our strength & everyone in America deserves to thrive.w

Purdue Pharma & the Sacklers' greed led to the devastation of countless families impacted by our opioid crisis. We can't bring back loved ones lost, but I'm proud to announce my office has helped secure a $7.4 billion settlement to hold those who fueled this crisis accountable.

This is absolutely phenomenal!!!!

As a believer and woman of deep faith, I'm compelled to see the humanity in everyone. Someone's political party, immigration status, gender, or sexuality shouldn't determine if they deserve compassion. Bishop Budde showed courage in naming that and we are all called to be such an example.

Social media can be a great preparation for, but not a replacement of, calling our senators and representative. We have to let them know what we care about through direct communication: phone calls, letters, and talking with them face-to-face.

Thank you to @edmarkey.bsky.social, @warren.senate.gov, @wutrain.bsky.social and everyone else who participated in the Massachusetts call to action Zoom tonight. I couldn't stay for the whole call, but I hope this is just the first of many.

I could not be more over it and we're only three days in.

Today or tomorrow! The Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ+ Advancement (MOLA) is partnering with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD) to host two VIRTUAL Know Your Rights trainings designed for LGBTQIA2S+ individuals & community members. Register below docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
