Barney Frank was one of a kind — a giant in public life who helped change Massachusetts and America for the better.
In Congress, Barney fought tirelessly for working people, civil rights, and LGBTQ+ equality. He was brilliant, fearless, quick-witted, and never afraid to say exactly what was on his mind.

@BostonDotCom As a lifelong resident of Boston I wholeheartedly agree that we should NOT host the DNC. We have enough infrastructure and public safety issues to deal with, as is. Our governments aren’t capable of dealing with such an event.
@bostonherald Her favorability rate is tanking big time in recent polls; this, this unusual and self-serving take on this matter. I must have missed her criticism of her appointed parole board though.

@BostonDotCom This Act is essentially unenforceable based on a prior Supreme Court ruling. Nothing but political grandstanding by our hack Legislature. Yet, the state will probably spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees in a feckless effort to try to defend the Act. Asinine.
@briantylercohen Democrats have already driven themselves into obscurity. This country will never accept socialism/ Marxism as a governing concept. That’s where Democrats are going.
Virginia is "a wakeup call to Democrats across the country - in NJ, NY, MD, IL, OR, WA, CO - this is the time to start fighting back...

@Patrick27301032@bostonherald I wish you stayed. I don’t know when you left, but did it have anything to do with Tom Menino’s corrupt dealings with developers that priced you out?
