Deeply grateful to @RepStanley and @senatorbarrett for spending time with our mighty Waltham @mtwyouth team talking about everything from criminal justice reform, to mental health services, to the impact of the upcoming change in administration.
We're thrilled to share that @mtwyouth is popping up in Downtown!
Every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 12-5 pm you can find the youth-run mobile bookstore at the Irish Famine Memorial Plaza 📚🍂
Georgia has some of the weakest gun laws in the country:
❌ No minimum age to purchase rifles
❌ No background check law
❌ No secure storage requirement
✅ Allows open carry
✅ Allows permitless carry
✅ Allows K-12 teachers to carry guns
Georgia has some of the weakest gun laws in the country. Georgia is an open carry and permitless carry state that allows anyone to carry loaded guns in public without a background check, permit, or safety training, and has no law that keeps guns out of K-12 schools.

Drag Story Hours create inclusive spaces for our kids to engage in storytelling, nurture creativity and empathy, and break down stereotypes.
I’m proud to have co-hosted our first ever Drag Story Hour with @mtwyouth, facilitated by the fabulous @dragqueenjp!
On this day in 2020, two white men killed Ahmaud Arbery, a young unarmed Black man out jogging. Local officials lied and did not hold the men accountable for months, until a video was released. https://t.co/hSz1oPlenz
Lamara Glenn, 11, was sleeping on her aunt's couch in Detroit when 23 bullets were shot into the house, hitting her. She will taken off of life support this week.
Because Lamara is a Black child and not an embryo or a fetus, GOP lawmakers won't care. https://t.co/37RDmHgGaA
Nice spotlight on @mtwyouth. Social services should look like this: young people running a business, taking charge of their lives, surrounded by relentless support & advocacy. And, our young people should not have to work this hard to survive. To thrive.

Catch the @celtics game tonight at 7:30pm and keep an eye out for their support of the Raise the Age legislation that I filed with @MannyCruz_MA & @BrendanCrighton. #mapoli#GoCeltics
My constituents trapped in Gaza don’t need more excuses or finger pointing, they need a way out of danger. We need answers from the State Department that everything is being done to help Americans get home now. https://t.co/f7rm3FKwMB
Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%.
George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%.
These numbers tell the whole story.
I don’t understand why it’s ok to regulate a woman’s body to save a fetus, but it’s not ok to regulate the sale of guns to save the life of a child. #MassShooting
One guy attempts to bomb a plane with his shoes and we have to take our shoes off every time for decades after.
We have hundreds of mass shootings committed with semi-automatic rifles and NOTHING changes.
Thousands have died and thousands more will.
