I stand in solidarity with university students who are demanding an end to Netanyahu’s immoral war on the Palestinian population. As a veteran of the 2011 Occupy movement, and as a legal observer of the violent crackdown on Occupy Boston protesters at Dewey Square that fall, I…

Despite objective signs of overall economic improvement, most Americans report feeling down about the state of the economy. Democratic strategists and consultants insist that this is all just an issue of messaging—but it’s not! @maxkiefel explains. thebaffler.com/latest/are-you…

In the United States, over half of women and almost 1 in 3 men have experienced sexual violence involving physical contact. On this, the 25th annual #denimday, I am standing with colleagues to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and protest the misconceptions.

I’m open to the idea of highway tolls at the Massachusetts border to help fund needed public investments. However, to ensure this policy is fair and equitable, I would insist that we also raise taxes on the very wealthy and on big corporations, too.

I look forward to offering amendments tomorrow to cut billions in offensive military funding to Israel from the proposed national security supplemental package and protect essential humanitarian operations. We cannot continue to fund this horrific war.
