We awarded $27M in grant funding to decarbonize affordable housing from the Berkshires to Boston. That means healthier homes, lower monthly bills, and good jobs for local workers in every region.

This program embodies how I see climate action. It’s all about opportunity.

@newbedfordpublicschools and @fallriverpublicschoolsma excel in their support of special needs students, which is on full display in their high school unified sports teams. If you’re looking for some inspiration, go to one of these games.

When school starts back up this fall, every kid will have a free, healthy meal waiting for them at lunch time.

@BrianFragaNCR (meaning before he became Pope Francis, but what the heck with this “missive”?!)

[Val Frias @FriasVal]

@BrianFragaNCR Isn’t Bergoglio the other priest in the movie, Two Popes, played by Jonathan Pryce? I can’t even begin to unpack what this nonsense is about.

[Val Frias @FriasVal]

Amen to that. Thank you, @BrianFragaNCR for calling out bishops inserting themselves in this. LGBTQ Catholics are adrift and want a place to call home. This doesn’t help. @JamesMartinSJ

[Joshua McElwee @joshjmcelwee]

News: The US Catholic bishops (@usccb) will vote this week on whether to amend directives for Catholic hospitals to mandate they no longer provide gender-affirming treatment to transgender patients.

Happy Pride! Ethos out to celebrate our diverse LGBTQ aging community in Boston!

[Val Frias @FriasVal]

Thanks to @MayorWu @wutrain for her partnership on LGBTQ issues as well as with all of @ethocare’s work with our aging adults in Boston to help them age in place with dignity, equity and community, breaking down silos and barriers. #bospoli #mapoli

[Ethos @ethocare]

Our Annual Pride Luncheon for LGBT Seniors, Friends, Allies, & Supporters was an incredible success! We couldn’t have achieved this without the support of @wutrain and @AgeStrongBos. A big thank you to our partners for helping us create a memorable event.

I #WearOrange because of 120 Americans killed every day by gun violence — and countless others, like the students and teachers I was with today, who have said through tears that they live in a constant state of fear and outrage. 🟧

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

On National Gun Violence Awareness Day, I #WearOrange because guns are now the leading cause of death for young people in America.

Kids deserve to grow up feeling safe at school, the mall, or the playground.

Kids deserve to grow up. Period.
