What do we mean by Abolish ICE?

A lot of words to not say - Abolish ICE! How many people need to get hurt before Dem leadership realizes that you can't reform fascism?

What. A. Movement!

Thank you to everyone who made our Salsa for the People campaign kickoff so powerful. In fascist times, we refuse to let the status quo steal our collective joy or our hope for the future.

If you are for the working class, now is the time to get involved!

Then, why do you continue to support Trump’s warmongering bills?

This is not meeting the moment. 7 other Dems voted in favor and ICE will still receive its funding. For someone whose job in leadership is to hold the line and whip our party, you failed to protect your district. Massachusetts deserves more. #AbolishICE

Honored to offer remarks at the Bearing Witness stand-out at ICE Burlington HQ. Standing alongside people willing to show up in blistering cold was nothing short of inspiring.

Video from the speech is coming soon! ✌🏽

Tech Workers Are Condemning ICE Even as Their CEOs Stay Quiet The killing of George Floyd in 2020 prompted a wave of statements from tech companies and CEOs. Today, pushback against ICE is largely coming from employees, not executives.

Right?? This vote had me searching for primary challengers and there is one (actually 2)! I just started a monthly donation and volunteered.

Strong data privacy protections are critical to protecting communities from ICE.

The MA Senate passed a data privacy bill in the fall. The House needs to take action. #mapoli

ICE can’t be reformed. Brutality is the point. We defend our communities now, and we go on offense by abolishing ICE.

We can’t reform a program from the George W. Bush era that was designed to attack our communities.

Re: Venezuela, Congress must reassert its constitutional authority. This about oil and endless wars that profit billionaires. Now, any response short of impeachment enables this abuse of power and pushes us further into a constitutional crisis.

✌🏽 As we close out 2025, I’m proud to stand with people across this country demanding peace rooted in justice. We deserve a Democratic Party that defends human rights without exception and values every life equally. See my full comments below!

Christmas Eve outside the ICE office in Burlington, standing with immigrant families facing forced separation. Hundreds showed up to remind them they’re not alone. For many, this will be their first Christmas apart from loved ones. Peace this season βœŒπŸ½πŸ’›

Also, this article carefully avoids naming any primary challenger besides @bradlander.bsky.social, possibly to avoid giving them any publicity. So I'll state here that @pazforthepeople.bsky.social is primarying Kathleen Clark. Check out his platform and decide if he's a better choice for MA-5.
