BPD just started arresting people in droves that are calling for a ceasefire at south station. Smh

Knock on the wrong door?

Get shot

Pull into the wrong driveway?

Get shot

Mistakenly approach the wrong car in a parking lot?

Get shot

Ain’t that America?

Tell me it’s not.

For everyone to access the services they need, state agencies must meet the language needs of all residents.

Thank you @BostonBar for endorsing HD3616/SD1066, the #LanguageAccessandInclusionAct. #mapoli #massspeaks

.@PressSec: The fact that Fox News – and not the Department of Homeland Security, the city, or local NGOs – were alerted about a plan to leave migrants, including children, on the side of busy DC street makes clear this is just a cruel and premeditated political stunt.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Ron DeSantis literally used Florida taxpayer money to pay for a scheme to pick up migrants who were in Texas - that is, not even in Florida - and fly them to Massachusetts. How are Floridians possibly okay with that?

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Asylum seekers are people—not political props. They deserve to be treated with dignity, and that’s exactly what Massachusetts will do.

[Soledad O'Brien @soledadobrien]

My parents were both immigrants to this country. It is so horrifying to think that people tricked these folks. Shipped them without their knowledge and then gloat about some kind of ‘win’. What kind of Christian celebrates this? What kind of horrible people?

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Look, it could happen to anyone. https://t.co/tpCx1XoqJa

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

Even if you accepted the absurd contention that a president can simply-and without process-declassify any document, you'd have to ask why he would declassify and abscond with top secret docs revealing U.S. intel assets around the world.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

If Republicans in Congress can issue protections for Supreme Court justices after peaceful protests, they should protect the American people from out-of-control gun violence after three mass shootings in two days.

[Michael_W_Clark @HealthCare_Mike]

What’s going on with traffic in Everett? Stuck in Costco Parking lot. Everything’s a grid? @MassStatePolice @everettpolicema
Hope everyone is safe?

Can’t wait for the @MassAppleseed Good Apple to start in a little over a half hour! #cheers!

[Paula Poundstone @paulapoundstone]

Jim Henson did make the world a better place.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

“Back the Blue” Senators voted to acquit the former president after they helped incite a white supremacist insurrection that left police officers dead.

It was never about “Blue Lives” mattering. It was just about making sure Black lives don’t.

[MA Appleseed Center @MassAppleseed]

Our advocacy and organizing for racial justice & equity in schools must include and center Black girls and their experiences, voices, & perspectives. #PUSHOUTfilm

[MA Appleseed Center @MassAppleseed]

The failure to recognize the full humanity of Black girls is perpetuated through unjust and punitive policies. We need anti-racist policy change that promotes trauma-informed, restorative practices. #PUSHOUTfilm

[MA Appleseed Center @MassAppleseed]

When Black girls are unjustly singled out, policed, and pushed from their classrooms, they are denied the same opportunities – and the same future – that their white counterparts are afforded. #PUSHOUTfilm #BlackGirlsMatter

[MA Appleseed Center @MassAppleseed]

It shouldn’t be that radical. #PUSHOUTfilm
