@samsanders I’m so sorry for your loss.

I’ve been quiet on Twitter.com because my mother died a few days ago. The funeral was today in Texas. I’m sharing her obit here if you’d like to read more about her life. I’m also using this tweet to remind you to go hug a loved one today. lewisfuneralhome.com/obituary/Regin…

Not only is mifepristone safe and effective, it's been used by over five million people since the FDA approved it over 20 years ago. This decision could have devastating consequences. But I promised to fight like hell. I'm not backing down.

Please stop using “third world countries” to describe nations that are struggling in large part due to the trauma and generational impact of white supremacy, imperialism, and colonialism. Let’s not use the phrase, period.

The fight for equal rights is not a fight of the past. We’re still in it & we won’t back down until we realize Constitutional equality for all. It’s time to pass the #EqualRightsAmendment. thehill.com/policy/3926296…

@michaelharriot Ohhhhh 😅

Wait… I thought y’all knew why Jill Biden inviting Iowa to the WH was tasteless. Google a pic of what she did during the University of SC women’s team visit to the White House after they won last year’s championship. Wild, right?

Idea for media colleagues: why did so many regular Americans in real America vote for a liberal Supreme Court Justice in Wisconsin? Let's go to the diners!

@MayorBrodeur Okay but people really do this to their signs 😂

Excited and proud today to announce my candidacy for the US Senate!

Rest in Power, Mel King.

Sad to hear of the passing of Mel King. Thank you for your organizing & public service focusing on housing & racial Justice. May you rest in power. We will continue the fight for real justice and equity. #Mapoli

Mel King has passed & is no longer with us in physical form, but his work & legacy endures in every corner of this city. I was so lucky to learn from him & his vision. What a legacy. My love to his family, who shared their father & husband so graciously with all of us.

@PatchCarraggi Mike, thanks for posting. I saw the news about his passing yesterday and have felt so far away from community - I’ll miss Scott. I enjoyed working with him.

To our LGBTQIA+ siblings, in case you need to hear it today: You are loved. Your lives are valued. You deserve to show up in every space as your full, authentic selves. We won't stop fighting to affirm these fundamental truths & root out homophobia & transphobia in all forms.

@Jane_A_Allen @BostonGlobe Oh no!
