My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

We need a lasting, bilateral #CeasefireNOW in Israel and Gaza to save lives, return the hostages, and deliver humanitarian aid.

.@beth_Kontos is amazing and has done amazing things for MA. Kudos and TY!

The American Federation of Teachers Massachusetts elected Jessica Tang as president in an unanimous vote Saturday, making her the first person of color to lead the union representing 25,000 educators and other workers. trib.al/27iSFfg

A great morning with new @AFTMass President @JessJTang, @beth_kontos, and @rweingarten. Their leadership will countinue to build bright futures for students across MA, and I look forward to working with the historic group of educators elected to lead AFT.

Faith Lutheran Church in Cambridge was lovingly and proudly built by local Swedish immigrants over 100 years ago — but this week, the church was engulfed by a massive fire. Join me in making a tax deductible contribution to the church's Building Fund via faithcambridge.org/giving

Our hearts and prayers go out to the church, their members, and the neighbors. We were across the street with the kids at the playground when it began, and we learned the fire is still going.

Had a lot of fun tonight talking with the @cambridgedems about the #FairShareAmendment! s/o to great co-presenter @Vatsady! #mapoli

And another change in policy —lifting mask mandated right after school vacation. This will continue the confusion.

I just took a very quick action to make a huge impact! You can too by writing @theactionnet letter: Tell Your Lawmakers: We Need The VOTES Act!. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/time-f…

@JeremyShenk Happy born day! Enjoy it with your family!

yall, having a birthday on 1/6 has proven to be alot more fraught then it used to be. like I'm actively recovering from covid, DESE and the Governor have never been worse, and I'm less stressed than last year on my birthday? wild.

"The last-minute scramble by DESE to provide 200,000 test kits to educators jeopardizes our attempts to maintain safe in-person learning as schools reopen after the holiday break," said MTA President Merrie Najimy. #mapoli #maedu massteacher.org/news/2021/12/m…

Ensure a safe return to school during the Omicron spike. Use this template from @massedjustice to send a letter to your superintendent asking for a delayed start of in-person learning. bit.ly/3zelgIy
