.@MayorWu came to Washington to defend Boston, tell an accurate story of our vibrant and diverse city, and affirm that immigration is essential to our city's success.
She did not just meet the moment—she exceeded it.

You know you’ve done well as a parent when your kids are as proud of you as Gus and Hope are of Tim Walz. “That’s my dad.” No three words better describe our next Vice President.

Just as we must honor the humanity of hostages, so too must we center the humanity of the 40,000 Palestinians killed under Israeli bombardment.
To deny that story is to participate in the dehumanization of Palestinians. The @DNC must change course and affirm our shared humanity.
Must-read from Ta-Nahesi Coates on those left out of the #DNC's diversity displays:
"No Palestinian American is scheduled to address the convention from the main stage. I suspect this is because of what such a speaker might feel compelled to say."

I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I say we need to crowdfund this video into 30 second TV spots. Incredible.

You have to admit, this debate isn't fair... Biden is limited by his desire to tell the truth, and Trump is not.
Trump just says whatever he wants, most of it's untrue, and he doesn't care and hopes us voters are too stupid to know the difference. #Debates2024

HERE'S THE PROBLEM:
Trump is a decisive communicator but LIES.
Biden tells the TRUTH but not as clearly and assertively.
It's misinformation vs. democracy — the entire challenge of our nation in one debate. Ugh. #Debates2024

Mr. Netanyahu, antisemitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to millions.
Do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government.

No wonder the @ChicagoBears are trying to leave. If this is how the @cta leaves thousands of fans stranded for a low key exhibition soccer match I can’t fathom the shitshow that is a Bears game.
