Video of Cape Cod bar manager spewing racial slurs goes viral. What we know. capecodtimes.com/story/news/202…

It is unacceptable that an owner of a local business created a hostile and unsafe environment through his racist harassment of an individual. While most community members champion acceptance, diversity, and kindness, unfortunately, racism is no stranger to our shores. (1/2)

The incident that was captured on video exemplifies an experience that too many BIPOC people have faced on the Cape & Islands. We can do better and we will do better. There is no room for racism and hate in our community. (2/2)

Today on the steps of the People's House, we raised the Pride Flag, celebrated drag performers, sang, danced, and committed ourselves to making MA a beacon of inclusivity & equity. TY to the trailblazing Governor Maura Healey Maura Healey for breaking barriers in this state and beyond.

Spotted: a hawk endorses the progress pride flag at the state house.

The extremist right really knows how to celebrate the 4th… by dragging us back to the 18th century. SCOTUS downgraded me & all LGBTQ+ ppl to second class citizens, stopped a generation from getting ahead of student loans, & returned our colleges to old boys clubs. Happy 4th 😔

A beautiful day in Provincetown with Secretary Kate Walsh & Commissioner Robbie Goldstein (he/him). Grateful for their commitment to equity, from racial equity to geographic equity, and their proactive approach to ensuring our communities have the support & services they need.

The ubiquity of forever chemicals in our water means we have a steep challenge to overcome. That is why Kate Hogan and I filed the Mass PFAS Act -- to continue Massachusetts' endeavor to swiftly mitigate #PFAS contamination.🚰💧Thank you HMcCarronCCT

Grateful to have a District Attorney staunchly dedicated to justice for everyone serving the Cape and Islands. Cape and Islands District Attorney Robert Galibois

Schools should be a place where students feel encouraged to be their unique selves with the help of support and care from trusted adults. These policies at Worcester’s catholic schools will be detrimental to LGBTQ+ students, their self-esteem, and their safety.

On #OverdoseAwarenessDay we remember lives lost & hold space for loved ones left behind. We need support-based strategies to end the opioid epidemic. Increased accessibility of Narcan is a move in the right direction. Saving lives is the # 1 goal. nytimes.com/2023/08/30/hea…

Nearly 3000 lives were taken on September 11, 2001. 22 years later, we continue to remember those we lost, keep their loved ones in our thoughts, and honor the first responders who acted with incredible bravery and strength on that heartbreaking day.

🧵Today marks 1 year since 49 asylum seekers from Venezuela arrived at the Martha’s Vineyard airport. In a moment of crisis, Vineyarders stepped up to the plate with compassion. As the nation’s eyes watched, our community exemplified humanity. (1/3)

Last year, the asylum seekers who arrived were tricked by a manipulative politician, but families looking for safety and a better life often come to Massachusetts because our Commonwealth embodies our values of equity and respect. (2/3)

As families migrate to Massachusetts, we can lead with the lessons we learned last year. When our community comes together, we can overcome challenges and help those who need it. (3/3)

Thank you for having our back Governor Maura Healey! TY for hearing Islanders on MV & ACK, Cape Codders, and residents across the state who are asking for a local option transfer fee on luxury real estate so we can harness the out-of-control real estate market & put those $$ to work🏠
