IT'S OFFICIAL: The House has passed our extension of TPS for Haiti. This win wouldn't be possible without the strength & organizing of our movement to defend our Haitian neighbors. To those in the #MA7 & beyond, this is for you. The Senate must pick this up without delay.

Trans rights are human rights. This was the right call and will help protect essential healthcare for our trans siblings behind the wall. We must continue to fight against the Trump Administration's relentless attacks on the LGBTQ+ community.

The decision leaves in place a lower-court block on the policy, which would halt surgeries, taper off hormones, and end social accommodations.

It is shameful that in 2026, women with disabilities are paid 44 cents for every dollar paid to non-disabled fathers. My Disabled Women’s Equal Pay Day Resolution with @RepLSimon & @RepEmilyRandall makes it clear: We must put an end to this economic injustice & make sure everyone gets equal pay for equal work.

Where is our humanity? How is this keeping anyone safe? Trump and ICE are traumatizing our children, ripping apart families, and terrorizing our communities. The cruelty is the point.

This is unacceptable. We can't let billionaires and tech companies like Mark Zuckerberg and Meta censor our movement and meddle in our democracy. No corporation should have this level of power over free speech in this country.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: No Kings organizer Ezra Levin is SOUNDING THE ALARM after Meta suspended the movement’s Instagram account during massive nationwide protests. LEVIN: “This is strikingly reminiscent of what we saw in Brazil… We might be seeing something similar from Meta in our country right now.” “We're not gonna stop organizing against this regime. We're not gonna stop organizing against this regime's collaborators on the outside.”

Decades of disinvestment & policy harm have disproportionately impacted the health of our Black & brown communities. A drastic reimagining is needed to address these racial health inequities. I joined @The_BMC EQTY Summit to discuss our fight for health equity in the #MA7 & beyond.

This is just another step by Trump and the WWE Secretary to distract, harm borrowers, & shut down the Ed Dept entirely. While millions default on their student loans, the Trump Admin. is doing NOTHING to fix the broken student loan system. The cruelty is the point.

Black wealth has dropped by 25% while unemployment, cost of living, & gas prices have gone up. When the rest of America catches a cold, Black folks catch pneumonia. Trump's failed economic policy & harmful budget cuts are hurting our community & the harm is coming for everyone.

87,000 Allston-Brighton residents shouldn’t depend on just one post office for the services they need. That’s unacceptable. That’s why we’re calling on @USPS to keep their word to this community: reopen the Allston post office & restore daily service NOW.

Donald Trump has always been obsessed with our elections. He incited an insurrection after losing his election, has threatened states for their voter rolls, & refused to sign a historic housing package without a voter suppression bill. This an anti-freedom, un-American agenda.

For 25 years, @POAHCommunities has done more than create affordable housing—they help people call a place home, raise families, & build community. Amid Trump’s housing crisis, I’m grateful to POAH for ensuring access to housing in Massachusetts & affirming it as a human right.

We fought hard—in partnership with community—to secure $20M for infrastructure improvements in Roxbury. But now, Trump & Duffy are trying to rip these funds away. We’re taking them to court because Roxbury deserves this investment after decades of divestment in their community.
