Jen is forward-looking, inclusive, genuine, consistent. She’ll bring people together without getting overwhelmed into inaction & maintenance of the status quo. She has the leadership skills to make tough decisions. Jen will make an excellent Mayor!

Officers working for Gov. Greg Abbott’s border security initiative have been ordered to push small children and nursing babies back into the Rio Grande and not to give water to asylum seekers even in extreme heat, according to an email from a DPS trooper. https://t.co/6yg2aNt9E2

Today I’m thrilled to announce my candidacy for Mayor of Melrose, a community I love and am proud to serve. I believe that local government can be a force for good, positively supporting people in neighborhoods where they live, work and raise their children. #melrosema #mapoli

Not only is mifepristone safe and effective, it's been used by over five million people since the FDA approved it over 20 years ago.

This decision could have devastating consequences. But I promised to fight like hell.

I'm not backing down.

Please stop using “third world countries” to describe nations that are struggling in large part due to the trauma and generational impact of white supremacy, imperialism, and colonialism.

Let’s not use the phrase, period.

The fight for equal rights is not a fight of the past.

We’re still in it & we won’t back down until we realize Constitutional equality for all.

It’s time to pass the #EqualRightsAmendment.

Idea for media colleagues: why did so many regular Americans in real America vote for a liberal Supreme Court Justice in Wisconsin? Let's go to the diners!

Sad to hear of the passing of Mel King. Thank you for your organizing & public service focusing on housing & racial Justice. May you rest in power. We will continue the fight for real justice and equity. #Mapoli

Mel King has passed & is no longer with us in physical form, but his work & legacy endures in every corner of this city. I was so lucky to learn from him & his vision. What a legacy.

My love to his family, who shared their father & husband so graciously with all of us.

[Manisha Bewtra @manishabewtra]

@PatchCarraggi Mike, thanks for posting. I saw the news about his passing yesterday and have felt so far away from community - I’ll miss Scott. I enjoyed working with him.

[Ayanna Pressley @AyannaPressley]

To our LGBTQIA+ siblings, in case you need to hear it today:

You are loved.
Your lives are valued.
You deserve to show up in every space as your full, authentic selves.

We won't stop fighting to affirm these fundamental truths & root out homophobia & transphobia in all forms.

[Manisha Bewtra @manishabewtra]

@Jane_A_Allen @BostonGlobe Oh no!
