The Darien Democratic Town Committee is now on THREADS! This is the OFFICIAL account for the Darien DTC & Darien Democrats. @dariendemocrats" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">threads.net/@dariendemocra…

Show us the Republican plan to tackle student debt. There isn’t one. Show us the Republican plan to restore and defend abortion rights. There isn’t one. Show us the Republican plan to fight climate change. There isn’t one. In fact, Republicans are making them all worse.

Don’t try it in Connecticut. If Mississippi wants to hunt down patients and doctors who come here for abortion or gender-affirming care, they’re in for a rude awakening. CT Dems passed the Reproductive Freedom Defense Act. Mississippi: wrong in 1861, wrong in 1963, wrong now.

The book banners are never on the right side of history. Brookfield is the latest CT town to shut down an effort to ban a book about LGBTQ+ kids. The two votes to ban it came from Republicans. Expect the GOP to nominate more book-banners this year. newstimes.com/news/education…

@peeved1 @thowe1000 You obviously haven’t read the article. It has important content regarding the BOE and it’s subcommittees. We shared the article to keep residents informed. Move along.

@DarienDemocrats @thowe1000 You wouldn't have retweeted if a different photo had been used in article...

@thowe1000 @peeved1 That is not how Twitter works - you share the article and it shares the picture. The article has important information and we shared it. The photo was never mentioned by us or discussed.

@peeved1 @DarienDemocrats I think it was an inappropriate tactic at the time. Knowing the history, I think the Darien Times and the Darien Dems should not have redistributed the photo. I have no issue with the article.

@thowe1000 @peeved1 So let us get this straight - we shared an article from the local newspaper but you are mad because (checks notes) the newspaper used a photo you don’t like. You do realize we didn’t choose the photo right?

@DarienDemocrats @peeved1 I'll tell you what you already know. The photo used for this article was captured from a debate video 2 yrs ago just prior to an election. It was then posted on social media by a Democratic politican in a smear campaign by suggesting that he was flashing a white supremacy signal

@peeved1 For sharing a news article from the local paper? 🙄

@DarienDemocrats You guys are shameful 😔

Happy 4th of July from Darien and Norwalk. Both communities had celebrations to mark our independence. Despite the weather, I hope everyone had a nice day and long weekend. #July4

Justice Sotomayor says the Supreme Court's ruling in favor of a Christian web designer who refused to work on same-sex couples' weddings is "profoundly wrong" and condemns the LGBTQ community to "second-class status." nbcnews.com/politics/supre…

Justice Kagan criticizes her conservative colleagues’ decision to invalidate President Biden’s student loan debt relief plan, saying the ruling was one the court “has no business deciding” and is “a danger to a democratic order.” nbcnews.com/politics/supre…

Wishing everyone a Happy and Safe 4th of July!

$760 billion in PPP loans were forgiven. That’s $360 billion more than this Administration’s student debt relief program. And, several Republican members of Congress who opposed student debt relief benefited from those PPP loans.

It’s not just happening in Greenwich. 👀 ctexaminer.com/2023/06/10/the…

Thanks to my colleagues in the legislature, local elected officials, community leaders and friends who came to the annual #Juneteenth flag raising at our home. It’s a growing event filled with love, reflection, hope and fellowship. Special thnx to @SenPBMiller & @SenatorMooreCT

🎞 IN THE NEWS: Illinois becomes the first state in the nation to ban book bans with the signing of #HB2789 into law. #ILSOS

Great to see so many changemakers at the Safer Communities Summit today — including @POTUS! Thanks to @ChrisMurphyCT for organizing it, and to him and @SenBlumenthal for all their work on last year’s bipartisan gun legislation. CT has proven it: together, we can end #GunViolence.
