I’ve never seen a president do this before. This is extraordinary. https://twitter.com/potus/status/1366191901196644354

President Biden@POTUS

Every worker should have a free and fair choice to join a union.

Everything that is right with Massachusetts and everything thats wrong with Massachusetts in one tweet. @livgust 's work is incredible, her spirit is the best of what we see in our community, but why wasn't the system she describes the original design from @MassGovernor? #mapoli https://twitter.com/livgust/status/1365741742943854595

Looking for funding to turn @macovidvaccines into an end-to-end registration system - MA residents register, we book an appt on their behalf. Let's even the playing field and allow those with fewer resources a fighting chance. DM me with leads, I have a proposal #covidma #mapoli

The climate leaders that have updated their emission pledges (NDCs) are on track to reduce GHG emissions 0.5% from 2010 to 2030.

According to SR15, 1.5°C requires a 45% drop in CO₂ emissions over that period (25% for <2°C).

These are climate leaders!
