Fascinating shift on Israel in the last few days from a very wide range of center-left politicians & voices that had previously defended the country’s conduct
A Guatemalan immigrant with no Massachusetts criminal record was arrested Monday on Tallman Street after federal agents shattered the glass on his vehicle as he and his wife waited inside the car for their lawyer to arrive. This is the kind of scene you’d expect in Russia. Secretive arrests, shattered glass, no criminal record—just fear and force. And now it’s happening on American soil.

124+ journalists were killed last year. The deadliest year for reporters on record. A free press is at the core of democracy. It is necessary to safeguard human rights. We must keep up the work to protect journalists from coercion and murder, and safeguard their critical work.
As it has been for 15 months, the narrative about who is obstructing a Gaza ceasefire is upside down. Since the ceasefire officially went into effect Jan. 19, Israel has repeatedly violated it by shooting & killing Palestinians and continuing to withhold aid, tents, mobile homes.
Today we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His words and actions remain an inspiration to us all as we work to build the future he dreamed of for our communities and country.
Nothing San Francisco has done to tolerate or enable public drug use has helped anyone — least of all those captured by deadly addictions. Thank you, Mayor @DanielLurie, for an ambitious start to bring solutions as big as the problems Sixth Street is facing.
Democrats can no longer afford to do nothing on border security. It’s not an option. They played that game for decades and blew up in their face. No more moral victories especially when real people are being hurt.
