This is so disturbing it's outrageous & NOONE is investigating. Add fuel to fire w family court judges who indiscriminately incarcerate victims of dv like myself to silence them. This is frightening & war on women @Bward3 help. @rahsaandhall @MassGovernor #mapoli

Families for Justice as Healing @justicehealing

Families still have not gotten answers about their loved ones.

Tompkins is running for reelection & has not had to answer these families or our community.

Women are not safe in this jail and they NEVER have been.

We demand accountability. We demand decarceration. #FreeHer

I read Biden was finishing the wall in 4 places in AZ. July's excellent jobs report tells us that shrinking GDP has not adversely affected job creation this biz cycle. Inflation is high. The Fed and 2 branches of govt are working on inflation reduction #MaPoli #NHpolitics

Tony 🌊 #BlueWave @TonyHussein4

Trump passed 1 major bill - tax cuts for the top 1%. He also failed to build his wall.

Pres. Biden Created 9.5million jobs & passed SIX major bills:
- #InflationReductionAct
- The CHIP Act
- The PACT Act
- American Rescue Plan
- Infrastructure & Jobs Act
- Gun Safety Legislation

The useless @RodWebber attacking @universalhub because Gaffin is an actual journalist who has a job. Something Rod can’t claim because he’s never had a job. Also very nice and smart of Rod to falsely accuse a Jewish journalist of having a problem with anti-Nazis. 🤡#bospoli?
