@MBTA waited for a bus for 20 min @ Sydney St. Two full buses passed in that time. First tweet in over a year is to complain about public transit in Boston. Who is surprised?
Black and Latino people make up 20% of the population of MA, yet they make up 73% of people incarcerated by mandatory minimums. These laws are discriminatory, and they don’t reduce crime or addiction.
I'm opposed to all new mandatory minimums. Listen: https://t.co/mKrBTIsYqC
“When educators look at a young black woman, do they see a criminal or the next President of the United States? We need policies and implicit bias training in place so young black women are not disproportionately policed in our schools.”

. @settiwarren on how he would prevent pipeline of women of color towards prison: "we need implicit bias training for police and educators so, when they see young black women, they don't see criminals but, rather, see the next President of the United States"
I attended three of the nine town halls Mayor Warren hosted on the opioid epidemic. Everyone we met agreed: we are not doing enough. I'm #TeamSetti because @settiwarren is unafraid to say that we need to invest more to address this crisis. https://t.co/Z6bD8k8tg6
Last Saturday, I met with a group of parents in Rockland, Massachusetts. Each one had lost a child — or children — to opioid addiction. I heard many perspectives, but one thing is for sure: we are not doing enough to tackle this epidemic. #mapoli https://t.co/stD0WoLWpX
.@MassGovernor is against asking people who make $20k a week to pay more in taxes so we can fix the T, but he’s OK with raising fares on people making $20k a year.
Where’s the logic in that? @johnsap25 and I discuss on @HeraldRadio’s #Rundown#mapoli https://t.co/F2oxFA6FXg
There is a massive problem at the State Police. This drip, drip, drip of scandals is an indictment of Charlie Baker’s management. #mapoli https://t.co/4Qg4g7ywOT
I'm #TeamSetti because @settiwarren is unafraid to tell the truth about the choices in this election. We need to raise new revenue to make our public transit system one that meets the needs of residents. https://t.co/DogzQ35jPs
RTA and MBTA funding isn’t just a bunch of numbers, and these budget cuts aren’t just minuses on a spreadsheet. Every cut is a fair raised, a route discontinued, and a person who relies on these services left without any other options. It’s wrong. #mapoli https://t.co/L3MSx4E7Li
#TeamSetti is collecting signatures in Newton and across the commonwealth to get a candidate on the ballot who is committed to addressing economic inequality.
These cuts are cruel. They aren’t just numbers on a spreadsheet. They are people who can’t get to work, can’t see a doctor, can’t get to where they need to go.
We need to expand RTA service, not cut services people rely on. #mapoli https://t.co/bF7MahWow9
This is about how I would govern. I’m willing to compromise, but I will stick to my principles no matter what. Mandatory minimums have destroyed communities of color. I won’t accept any criminal justice reform that includes new mandatory minimums. #mapoli https://t.co/lRZ3fi94pc
I’m proud to sign the #NoFossilFuelMoney pledge. Without the influence of fossil fuel money, I know that we can power Massachusetts with 100% renewable energy by 2050 and secure a clean energy future for the next generation.

Why are we ok asking people making $20k a year to pay a higher fare, but we can’t ask people making $20k a WEEK to contribute more in taxes to fund better service? This is wrong. #mapoli https://t.co/X8v8njtEYv
Thank you ATU Local 22 and @FundMassRTAs for your endorsement. I'm proud to stand alongside your members and fight for more RTA funding.
