So, we kicked into high gear, met with the Haitian families to get a list of their needs, and off to BJ’s and Target for $700 of food, personal items, healthcare supplies, and yes some soccer balls for the kids! The families could not have been nicer or more grateful (3/5)

.@Jeff_Jacoby gets everythings wrong about ending #LWOP in his hatchet job with many incorrect facts in @BostonGlobe today. WHY we need to end the harsh sentense of life without parole--instead of trying to scare people, Jeff--1/2 https://t.co/CMVZJhfDHH

Lamar Johnson served 28 yrs of a life sentence when his innocence was finally proven, and he was set free! All with the help of the Innocence Project and St. Louis Attorney Kim Gardner. Racial bias in the court system destroys the lives of many. Glad to have Lamar home ✊🏾

Too many of us scan rooms for exits when we enter. Many have gone through the grim exercise of figuring out who would be our last call. Last night, kids at MSU made those calls. They worried for their lives, their friends, their fellow Spartans We can't keep living like this.

Not adequate words to describe the joy in the room tonight in #Groton by all the amazing supporters for now-1st Middlesex @RepScarsdale! In a district that hadn’t elected a #Democratic legislator in 47 years, Margaret won by 7 VOTES, a recount & a #Republican court challenge!
