It’s a great day when photos of me in a wedding dress at work resurface! Congratulations to @RepKayKhan @repdonato @RepBradJones and the entire @childmarriagema coalition on a momentous vote in the House of Reps to get one step closer to ending #childmarriage in MA! #mapoli

When you mix your $21 cocktail with a straw like you mix your @dunkindonuts iced coffee 😳

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

Vice President @KamalaHarris is a proud mom of two remarkable stepchildren—and so am I. @CaptMarkKelly and I were trying to have a baby through IVF before I was shot and that dream was stolen from us. To suggest we are somehow lesser is disgraceful.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

[Speaker Ron Mariano @RonMariano]

It was great to join @MassGovernor and my colleagues in the legislature to celebrate the beginning of Pride Month, and to announce that the House will soon vote to modernize the Commonwealth’s parentage laws, ensuring greater protections for same sex couples and their children.

[Katie Lannan @katielannan]

At State House Pride flag raising, Speaker Mariano says the House will take up parentage legislation “within the month.” He says there may not be 100% agreement, but he believes he has the votes. Bill info: https://t.co/CfthjVMc6j

[Reproductive Equity Now @reproequity_now]

Today, the Healey-Driscoll administration proposed a new sex ed framework for the state to ensure it is LGBTQ+ inclusive, medically accurate, & age-appropriate!

We’re making Massachusetts values clear: our schools will be places where students feel protected, loved, & accepted.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Students today are facing a lot. The aftermath of a pandemic. A mental health crisis. The constant pressures of social media.

That's why we're proposing updates to the framework that guides instruction of health and phys ed from pre-K to 12th grade.

I decided to take her up on her offer to go over the written material together and it made a huge difference in my understanding of the information. I hope more medical professionals think about their patients learning disabilities and all disabilities in their plan for care.

As an adult, my #dyslexia is very rarely discussed, except when my spelling errors are called out like a moral offense.

[Emily Hajjar @EmilyHajjar]

My #Dyslexia impacts my reading comprehension. This nurse wanted to ensure what she was going to provide me in writing was something I would understand so I could make the best informed decision for myself.

@anna_duffy30 @LegislataApp @JessieBrunelle and I will always be proud of @RepKayKhan's high ranking!

"One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, it means I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate & strong." Jacinda Ardern
