Proud of Brattleboro, VT which elected me this week to the selectboard, our town’s 5-member governing body. While our country faces unprecedented challenges, the ppl of Brattleboro have made clear they want affordability, safety, and shelter for our neighbors. #VTpoli

Less than 1/3 of Republicans support invading Venezuela. And only 9% of Dems, and 9% of Independents support such action. Most Americans want the U.S. to respect other countries. Let’s stand up for the American Constitution and Congress’ #WarPowers @BeccaBalintVT @RepBeccaB

Happy Thanksgiving from Brattleboro, Vermont! 🍁

27 Texas legislators reject @GregAbbott_TX's attack on Muslim civil rights organization CAIR. #AbbottsAntics   “We urge the governor to revoke this decision and reaffirm our state’s commitment to true religious freedom.” https://t.co/4q9aUntCnJ

Thank you, Congresswoman! @RepBeccaB #VTpoli #BTV

Unhoused people in Brattleboro are at risk of losing one of the few grassroots/self-help community resources available to them. Time for us to come together. #VTpoli

Something I said in this interview, re: Gaza, and the U.S. role in the world: Until we recognize the US role—and that this is not some kind of aberration but a continuation of the way the US has shown up in the world—we’re going to miss the importance of Americans speaking up.

Brattleboro Folks: I'd love to connect with you at one of these sessions at 69A Elliot St., Brattleboro, Vermont. I also welcome your ideas and invitations for other times and spaces to connect! #VTpoli

Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement, has begun with sunset. Jews are taught to reflect on the ways that they have missed the mark this past year. It’s an opportunity for us all to do that, not just Jews. We can commit at this time to transform those wrongs in the year ahead.

I’m proud of Vermont’s congressional delegation. Now’s the time for the next step. #VTpoli

Turns out stopping genocide would be good for democracy too.

I'm horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah. Political violence has no place in our country.

Update: Lockout has been lifted, so no need to picket — at least for now.

The Brattleboro Reformer has reported that the lockout of the bus drivers and monitors has been dropped, and that they are now allowed back to work. Good news for students, families, and the people who drive our young people to and from school! #VTpoli

Happy #LaborDay! As billionaires try to take over our country, this is a key moment to stand with working people. Will you join us tomorrow, Tuesday, September 2, outside Brattleboro Union High School at 7:30am to stand with our school bus drivers and monitors? #VTpoli

This month the President vowed to forcibly remove unhoused people from DC. In Vermont, our state govt has removed families w/ young children and seniors w/ oxygen tanks from motels w/ no safe place to go. Vermont must do better. Here’s how: https://t.co/PH5Thl0PnV #VTpoli

Good connecting with folks here in my hometown of Brattleboro, Vermont in the July 4th parade. Let’s hold out a vision for town and country that works for everyday people, not just the wealthy elite. #VTpoli

Visited one of the motels here in Brattleboro, Vermont where people are being forced out of shelter today. People will very likely die as a result of this policy. Please consider supporting organizations like https://t.co/WftC5rilZf

I’m super excited about the possibilities with our Brattleboro, VT - Hinsdale, NH pedestrian/bike bridge. Great opportunity to support recreation, families, and sustainable tourism to the region. #VTpoli

H/T @CMaysBR for covering this for @BrattReformer

Last night I was sworn into a one-year term on the Brattleboro Selectboard, the 5-person governing body for our town, which is Vermont’s 7th largest municipality w/ 12K+ residents. Challenges lie ahead, but I’m excited to serve. Photo by @CMaysBR of @BrattReformer #VTpoli
