🔳 is not “releasing a document” This cover-up is remarkably literal. And also a crime.

I sure think so! bethfordemocracy.com

I support Dan Reynolds and his union, IUE-CWA Local 201. He defended his transgender sister in a private Facebook group. GE fired him for it. American workers deserve better. itemlive.com/2025/12/15/g...

I am disgusted by how the government is describing children today. I was a nonbinary kid in the eighties & nineties and adults weren’t this hateful. This is cheap political point-scoring. Trans kids are kids. We deserve care, inclusion and support. We deserve to thrive.

My heart goes out to everyone in Washington affected by the flooding and failing levees. We need a massive investment in American infrastructure.

I am not worried about robots “going rogue”. I am worried about them doing exactly what billionaires tell them to.

Thank you to the Ipswich Democratic Town Committee for hosting me this weekend! I had a wonderful time joining the weekly standout after our conversation. It is exciting to connect with so many people in the sixth district ready to fight corruption and build good things for America.

Happy Hanukkah to everyone who celebrates! May our faith and community sustain us in the dark.

I had a great time at the North Shore Labor Council holiday party with @union-jack1.bsky.social! The North Shore knows: the union makes us strong. And throws a good party.

Some economists claim “affordability” problems are a myth. Their reports miss that return to office is basically a 10% cut in our hourly wages. And the resulting traffic hits everyone. Economics doesn’t measure our lives.

Politics is for people.

What ICE is doing is horrible. Watching Noam lie through her teeth to Congress is horribly embarrassing. At this point, impeaching her would be a kindness.

Your refrigerator shouldn’t randomly start advertising to you. Cars shouldn’t play ads while you are driving. As a programmer, I know why companies are putting ads in everything (they want money) & how to stop it (laws). In Congress, I will stand up for all of us: bethfordemocracy.com

The reckless AI bubble our government subsidies created is driving up the cost of computers the same way it is driving up the cost of water and electricity.

Half-assed plans like the MBTA Zoning Act are why people hate “economic incentives”. We know when we’re being ordered around, even if it’s hidden behind a dollar sign. Punishing towns that don’t build creates fights instead of houses.

A ceasefire requires the firing to cease. There is not a ceasefire in Gaza. Congress must #BlockTheBombs.

I marched in the streets the last time a Republican President started a war just because he wanted to. This time, I'm running for Congress so we can shut this bullshit down.

Zero people should do war crimes. It is time for Congress to appoint a special prosecutor.

Robots only ever do things a human told them to do. Billionaires are having their robots break the law. Having a computer do something shouldn’t make it legal.

On the picket line today with @sbworkersunited.org and @bostondsa.org! Hedge funds claim companies must only care about hedge funds. We organize to prove them wrong. This is about people’s lives, livelihoods and morning coffees ☕️

163 years ago, President Lincoln announced a national day of Thanksgiving. I am thankful for everyone who has fought or will fight for peace And today we get to eat pie about it 🥧

Thank you to the parents, teachers & neighbors who spoke at tonight’s forum. Salem is considering closing an elementary school to save money. Our cities & towns are facing hard choices because Congress refuses to stand up to Trump. I will defend the Department of Education & fund the ADA.

Raising the minimum wage is good, but not good enough. Workers should’t have to constantly fall behind until politicians can be made to do their job. It is time to do what Michigan, Maine, Ohio, Florida and 16 other states have already done and take the politicians out of it. #IndexTheMinimumWage

Billionaires work very hard to make “the government” into some distant entity. But we can go to our city council meetings. We can run for office. We can knock on our neighbors’ doors to talk about a candidate we like. In a free democracy, another way to say “the government” is “all of us”.

Enjoying the St. John’s fall fair today! It is that time of year: quilts and pies and prints and more. As the days get shorter, we come together.

Politicians talk about socialism like it is some distant thing. Socialism looks like Salem State, Middleton’s electric light department, our public libraries and New Hampshire’s liquor stores. Anyone who has made a run up north before a party has enjoyed socialism.

Socialism is good, actually. We deserve Representatives with the courage to say so. bethfordemocracy.com

Yesterday at the Salem Democratic Town Committee meeting, we were asked where we fall on a scale of Schumer to AOC. I was the only candidate for the Massachusetts 6th willing to give a straight answer: I am proudly progressive. I won’t hide behind platitudes. You will always know where I stand.

The Salem Transgender Day of Remembrance ceremony was beautiful and moving. We do not have to bear our grief alone, and so we do not have to look away.

This year Transgender Day of Remembrance is especially meaningful for me. Last year I had the honor of helping care for my friend Mel towards the end of their illness. We mourn. We cherish. We remember. All of us are sacred. Each of us is loved.

One clear example of how the rich write our laws: Thanks to this year’s Congress, the first $15,000,000 a kid inherits doesn’t get taxed at all. If you actually work for your money, taxes start at $14,601. The rich gutted our silver spoon laws, just because they can.

We have to defeat fascism and build a better nation at the same time. Anyone talking about only one or the other isn’t going to succeed at either.

Thank you to the Boxford Democratic Town Committee for hosting the candidates for the Massachusetts 6th District! It was great to meet so many passionate folks and share my vision for how technology can help all of us instead of just making a couple of billionaires even richer.

We can’t demand struggling workers shoulder the cost of climate change while people like Charles Koch swim in their billions. We need to harness the wealth in America to invest in our future.

Some of the candidates in my race still think that the elections will happen, Trump will leave and suddenly everything is going to go back to “normal”. I know that fixing this totalitarian mess is going to require truth, reconciliation and consequences.

Starbucks workers are on strike! As a former barista and union member, I am in enthusiastic support. A “corporation” is more than just the investors and board and CEO. When we stand together, we remind the gold-holders who does the actual work.

Thank you Wakefield Democratic Town Committee for hosting me tonight! The community came together to hear from candidates, support wakefieldfoodpantry.org and celebrate Tuesday’s elections with cider and cookies!

I am very comfortable with my lack of gender. Partially it’s just because I’ve been like this for decades. But it is also an act of faith. My religion teaches that my experience of gender is holy and sanctified. To deny my experience would move away from the sacred. www.uua.org/pressroom/pr...

Jeffery Epstein documented his blackmail of Donald Trump. Now the question is, what did Trump give him in exchange?

I wonder if AI companies understand the damage they are doing by rolling out AI customer service bots. Many people’s first interaction with “AI” is seeing service get worse. Even people who aren’t concerned about their jobs are now worried about what it will do to customer service.

At a time when only Barbara Lee voted against the Afghanistan war and Democrats didn’t show up to our protests, Howard Dean covinced me that I belonged in the Democratic Party. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8DbyhQC/ bethfordemocracy.com

I know what happens when people have to pay for our own healthcare. Until 2014, most insurance plans didn't cover trans healthcare. People waited years, scrimping & saving. Others never got the care they needed. With our care covered by insurance, costs didn't rise: they fell.

Today Middleton turned out in the bitter cold to honor our veterans. Congress has a responsibility to those who serve. By letting Presidents launch wars on a whim, Congress is ignoring that responsibility. I will take the duties of the office seriously instead of passing the buck.

We appreciate and support @sbworkersunited.org!

The Democratic establishment has chosen the candidate they want to put in the Massachusetts 6th District. He’s moving from DC to run and bringing big money with him. You can help us fight for better than a generic politician with a platform written by polls: secure.actblue.com/donate/bab-b...

Free community college will be free to billionaires the same way a tote bag is free to someone who donates $200 to the PTA. We are all in this society together. Politicians should act like it.

You can support Starbucks workers by signing the No Contract, No Coffee pledge here: starbucksworkersunited.controlshift.app/petitions/no... If Starbucks doesn’t get its act together, I’ll see some of you on the picket lines!

I am disappointed by Dick Cheney’s death. I had hoped to get to Congress in time to hold him accountable.

The Republican candidate in Virginia ran non-stop anti-trans ads. Then she lost by double digits 💁 Being out and visible is more important to me than ever. I won’t let them turn us into imaginary creatures in some scary fairytale. We are people’s friends, families, coworkers, and Congress members.

My first reaction to tonight’s results, in and out of the sixth district: it turns out America could have good things! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Dfpn65/
