I like his chances too. And he’s right, Dems are so reactive to what they think the right wingers will say they’re forgetting to be proactive in stating some core values. People have a right to be safe and have their basic needs met. Send me the candidates who are grounded in that.

Fight for trans people for us all. They deserve freedom to be their beautiful selves in its own right. And it's perfectly possible for a society to accept them, many have & do, this is fascism choosing them as a target. We're all affected, policing gender comes for all of us & makes us less free.

Good grief, this may be one of the most un-nuanced comments about nuance I have ever seen.

When I travel out of the U.S. and people ask me what I do, it’s a reminder of how this country has completely accepted preventable death and unnecessary trauma. I run a state based gun violence prevention organization. 1/2

To be very clear about this, advocating for the sterilization of people you define as *not us* is full on Nazism. We should call it out as such.

Trump raked in a billion from crypto and millions from selling Trump-branded Bibles, sneakers, and other merch. Filling his pockets with money he doesn’t need while taking away health care and food assistance from folks in need. His abusive greed knows no bounds. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/01/n...

The extremist policitians who are trying to abolish abortion and erase trans people in the name of women and children’s safety seem to have no interest in stopping the sexual assault that is baked into the fabric of what the United States is. Yeah, release the damn Epstein files.

Couple this with the blank check given to ICE and the human rights abuses of this country will only get exponentially worse.

I am traveling in Croatia and the history nerd in me is marveling at the structures that have been here for centuries while the political wonk in me is marveling over a country younger than my years on this earth. It’s humbling, really.

If Contreras gets disciplined for this and Cavalli does not, I am telling you… holy moly. Contreras is Venezuelan, and actively dealing with the trauma of the earthquakes. That adds a whole other layer to Cavalli’s racism. Cavalli went after Contreras and I hope the MLB goes after Cavalli.

There are not enough words to describe how profoundly awful and dangerous this is.

Can you imagine if any country tried to do that to U.S. citizens? The U.S. government would flip their extremist lid. I’m traipsing around Europe now and cannot fathom the hypocrisy of our entitlement to go to other countries while terrorizing (many) of those who want to come to ours

There is no such thing as public safety when specific communities are targeted. Every person has a right to be safe and treated with dignity. Every person deserves to live a life free from fear. That is public safety. I stand with trans youth. And I stand with the Haitian and Syrian communities.

To be clear, this Supreme Court chose to regulate trans people while further deregulating guns. Do not listen to a single thing this administration says about public safety.

Unless you are indigenous to this land or stolen from your land, this country’s population was built on birthright citizenship. The fact that we are sitting on pins and needles waiting for a decision on whether it continues is absolutely insane.

No, no, no, no, absolutely not. Platforming extremism on mainstream media mainstreams extremism. Amplifying hate causes harm to those who have been targeted by that hate, and ultimately to everyone. What is so damn difficult to understand about this??

Abusers demand complete loyalty. They punish those who are disloyal. They accept no consequences or responsibility for any of their behaviors whatsoever. And yes this post is about SCOTUS’ presidential power ruling.

Your regular screaming from the rooftops reminder that this country would be very different if this country had just listened to Anita Hill.

The level of hate that will be directed at Barrett will be off the charts. Again for my fellow white women… You are never protected by white supremacy. You can be adjacent to it as long as you uphold it. As soon as you don’t, you will see the violent misogyny that is a pillar of white supremacy.

Extremism cannot exist without extreme hypocrisy. The administration that is going out of its way to support claims of anti-white bias is making it impossible to prove discrimination against non-white people. They used this case to terrorize Haitian and Syrian immigrants but also to set precedent.

No money for the medical coverage that keeps people alive but a blank check for the systems that killing and traumatizing people. Congresswoman @ayannapressley.bsky.social talks all the time about policy violence and this is absolutely policy violence.

This is so grim

The get off my lawn energy sure has come back to bite them

Today was the funeral of 1yo Kohen Wiley, shot & killed by a police officer who still walks free. The fact that a baby couldn’t survive U.S. policing is about as searing an indictment as you’re going to get. The fact that the officer walks free is a searing example of impossibility of changing it.

Good freaking grief, how much money does one person need??

This this all this. The amount of misogyny I’ve experienced (and racism I have witnessed) is significant and incredibly harmful. One of my former supervisees called it *woke misogyny* and I’ve thought about it ever since. The harm that’s hidden under a guise of justice adjacent work is still harm.

And the winner of the painfully accurate headline award goes to… @rygraham.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/28/o...

Stephen Miller calling the cruelty of the SCOTUS decision a “victory” is gutter racism and some real Nazi shit. The fact that it’s coming from a Jew is so damn painful I don’t know what to do with myself.

Pete Buttigieg was investigated for being a danger to his children because of an anonymous phone call. But we can’t hold Epstein’s cronies accountable for their sexual abuse of girls because we can’t see the multitude of evidence that is being deliberately hidden. Make it make sense.

Extremism cannot exist without extreme hypocrisy. The toxic individualism of me and mine at the expense of you and yours. And the default to *I do things the right way* vs everyone else. And I bet ACB and Vance have this paternalistic view of their own families. Or white savior view, actually.

A little louder for those in the back!

Cape Verde!!!! 🇨🇻 So thrilled for my Cape Verdean friends and the Massachusetts Cape Verdean community!!

Amy Coney Barrett adopting Haitian children and then ruling to end TPS for Haitians in the U.S. is the epitome of the “I can’t be racist because I have one Black friend” dynamic.

So the crazy thing is that some called child protective services on Pete Buttigieg when it was actually Amy Coney Barrett who attacked a core part of who her children are.

My heart will never understand the Stephen Millers of the world. The gutter racism. The unadulterated meanness. And the unwillingness to let others have any part of the country they call home. And my heart will always hurt when it’s a fellow Jew. He desecrates the memories of our ancestors.

It is absolutely all about power. Power and control, actually — the hallmarks of any abusive relationship. Guns are a tool of white supremacy. Gun enforcement is completely racialized. This is about giving those who hold the most power the tools needed to maintain that power.

Stephen Miller told us who he was in the first Trump administration when he masterminded family separation at the southern border. People knew and they voted for Trump anyway — handing Miller the power to cause even more harm. This is also the highest indictment of the racism of so many U.S. voters

I cannot bear what SCOTUS just did to the Haitian and Syrian communities. I cannot bear what it will be like for Amy Coney Barrett’s children to know what their mother did to other people from Haiti.

I will never forget Justice Sotomayor saying that sometimes she goes into her office to cry. mobileapp.bostonglobe.com/CN63OGZEE5FF...

We’ve been rooting for Haiti this World Cup. People from around this country pulling for the soccer players of that tiny country, making their first WC appearance in decades. And now this country has given a big fuck you to the Haitians of this country. I can’t even bear it.

To quote the poet Warsan Shire: no one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark. In Haiti, the very sharp teeth of that shark are the U.S. guns that drive the violence that people are fleeing. Our guns. We made this. And yeah this post is about SCOTUS.

The same Republicans who have done nothing to advance justice for Epstein’s survivors. Because somehow they think abortion and marriage equality are far more dangerous than sexual assault of children. I too, have an exploding head.

Four years ago we had a span of 24 hours that was catastrophic for public safety. All brought to us by SCOTUS. First the Bruen decision, which created havoc and confusion for gun legislation in states across the nation. And then Dobbs, which upended abortion access from coast to coast. 1/

I am never going to stop asking the question: who does this keep safe? The feds will tell us these arrests are in the interest of public safety. I want them to show their work in this equation. Fear and trauma do not make safety. mobileapp.bostonglobe.com/M7DTBSAWYVFP...

Can we please have Haiti win?? Pretty pretty please??? 🇭🇹

Do not let anyone tell you there’s no money to build housing. If they can find money to build cages they can find money to build homes.

There are not enough words to describe the seriousness of what’s happening to the Prairieland defendants. Hyperbole doesn’t exist for this one.
