What a fantastic coffee hour this morning in Canton. People are scared at the direction our country is headed and they're furious that some of our democratic leaders are nowhere to be found in this fight. Thank you to my friend Mary at Orchard Cove for the invite!

Get up, get down, Boston is a union town. If a strike is called in Massachusetts, all good people will support it.
Boston union workers speaking out against ICE. Fear divides workers. Solidarity makes us strong. When working people stand together, we have power.

Really excited for our first candidate forum of the cycle this Thursday! Sign up for the livestream at the link here. Looks like it might be a bit one-sided, though, since my opponent, Congressman Lynch, has declined to confirm attendance.... https://t.co/jqWgnHcZ0w

TikTok, what the actual hell. We had some big news today (some might have noticed!) and it's like the platform completely dissolved overnight if you want to talk about anything political. Absolutely wild and frightening state-controlled takeover.

We will never get a better Democratic Party until we have a way more ruthlessly competitive primary process against incumbents. There are way too many comfortable incumbents in Congress right now.

Patrick Roath is a lawyer, democracy advocate, and Boston resident running for U.S. Congress to bring new leadership and real solutions to Massachusetts' Eighth District.
We're doing the work to make this happen. Help us beat the last remaining Democratic congressman who voted AGAINST the Affordable Care Act (oh, and Rep. Stephen Lynch also voted to "thank ICE" and expand deportations in a safe blue Massachusetts seat). @LeadersWeDeserv is proud

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Everyone should watch the stabilized slow motion version someone posted to Reddit, making the sequence of events precisely clear. This was a murder.

These fucking morons didn’t even know he was disarmed. Send them home before they kill someone else.
@BulwarkOnline You can literally hear him say "Where's the f*cking gun? Where's the gun?", and a man in the back, presumably the one who confiscated it before they all started shooting, says he has it. They pepper sprayed and threw him to the ground, disarmed him, then executed him
