Pat Jehlen

@Pontifex Please please go to visit the Holy Family Church in Gaza City! That action could protect so many innocent lives!

Today I renew a forceful appeal both to the parties involved and to the international community, that an end be put to the conflict in the Holy Land, which has caused so much terror, destruction, and death.

W/ the news that @MAFairShare #MillionairesTax has raised over $1.8 billion in revenue in FY25, big shout-out to @MassBudget, the progressive think tank that most accurately predicted this, & all the people who worked so hard to pass #MAFairShare! #mapoli bostonglobe.com/2024/05/20/met…

@somershade1 @ChristoSilvia also money?

@ChristoSilvia My understanding is that most of the issues with getting the green line to Porter have to do with Eversource equipment and a conflict between the MBTA and the Utility rights of way.

My take on the latest revision to the SomerNova / Rafi proposal. Short form, it’s getting better and I’m starting to like it. @fdmts/somernova-round-two-04e70acdc5ad" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@fdmts/somerno…

@jmlarkin @WBUR We were very lucky to have the world's best education reporter, and now very sad to lose you. I hope you find another, maybe even better platform. We need reporters who go beyond the press releases and talking points from the usual suspects. Thank you for all you've done!

In 2022, just 100 big donors outspent all small donors by 60 percent. This is not a good sign for democracy. bit.ly/4a81HCJ

@SomervilleCity @somerville_rsj will recording be posted? if so when and where?

Dear politicians/political influencers: When you evoke my father this #MLKDay, remember that he was resolute about eradicating racism, poverty, and militarism. And about corrective justice work. Don’t just quote him. Encourage and enact policies that reflect his teachings.

Thanks to Rep. Connolly for checking on flooding at Draw 7 Park (by Amelia Earhart Dam) during the storm surge. That's why our Mystic River Caucus (which I co-chair) advocated for $28 million to control flooding and make the park more resilient, to respond to climate change.

@KamalaHarris @MatHelman @JoeBiden Cease fire

From day one, the president and I have been clear: We need to put the protections of Roe v. Wade into federal law. Congress has the power and ability to pass legislation, and @JoeBiden will sign that bill into law.

@POTUS CEASE FIRE NOW

I applaud the UAW and Stellantis for reaching a historic agreement that guarantees workers the dignity and respect they deserve. It’s a testament to the power of unions and collective bargaining to build strong middle-class jobs and help our nation’s most iconic companies thrive.

@POTUS ceasefire

The U.S.-Australia Alliance is more critical than ever. This week, we made important progress ensuring tomorrow will be better than today. And it’ll be more free, more fair, and for all people, because we have the power to make it so.

This is horrific. Last week, I condemned Hamas for their terrorist attacks on Israel, and mourn the deaths of Israeli civilians. I also mourn the deaths of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, and once again urge @POTUS & the UN to de-escalate this violence, and reach a ceasefire.

Thank you to our Congresswoman, Ayanna Pressley.

“The most important thing for me and also for my brother, is that his death will not be used as a justification for killing innocent people” Listen to Noi Katzman who’s Brother Chaim was buried today

“You can’t cure killed babies with more dead babies. We need peace....Vengeance isn't a strategy.”

Very telling when an ex-Top Adviser to Israel's Prime Minister is way more sympathetic to Palestinians than a BBC presenter: Presenter "The Israelis would say.. we're defending ourselves" Daniel Levy: "Do you really keep a straight face when you say that? ...these kind of lies"
