Oldest living survivor of Tulsa Race Massacre dies at 111 years old By Omar Jimenez

Viola Fletcher survived the Tulsa Race Massacre, bore witness to one of our nation’s darkest days, and spent a century demanding justice. Her voice refused silence. Her legacy refuses erasure. Rest in power, Mother Fletcher. We will not forget.

Pete Hegseth take notes. This is what a real Patriot looks like.

ENDORSEMENT Ed Markey United States Senator Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts

PROFESSIONAL FIRE FIGHTERS OF MASSACHUSETTS ENDORSES ED MARKEY “Senator Markey has a long history of standing with firefighters and working families,” said PFFM President Rich MacKinnon, Jr. “From leading the fight to repeal the unfair WEP provision, to holding chemical companies accountable for putting cancer-causing PFAS in our gear, to calling out venture capital firms driving up the cost and wait times of fire apparatus, he’s never been afraid to take on the tough fights. He’s a true advocate for firefighters and public safety, and the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts is proud to stand with him in his re-election.”

I am honored to earn the support of the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts. Our firefighters run toward danger every single day. I am grateful for their trust, their service, and their ongoing partnership as we work together to keep our communities safe.

Read this headline. And then read it again.

"The American Dream is over".

A mother of three who came to this country to care for her children was snatched by ICE at her place of work.

Unacceptable and un-American. We're better than this. ICE must be held accountable.

It's been almost five years since Donald Trump led an angry mob to the Capitol with a gallows and noose in tow.

Now he's calling for members of Congress to be hanged.

To my Republican colleagues:

When are you going to stand up against this violent dictator?

Screenshot of article with a highlighted quote reading: “The rural hospital report was crucial to show Republicans they were hurting their own people,” Mr. Markey said, “but we knew that rural hospitals were only the tip of the iceberg.”

Threats to rural hospitals were just the tip of Republicans' Medicaid cuts iceberg.

Hospitals all across this country—in cities and towns—are at an extreme risk.

We must reverse these cuts before it's too late.

This is not a joke. Donald Trump reposted these horrific calls for violence against Senators and Members of Congress last night.

This is a red alert moment. We must all say no to this authoritarian overreach.

We cannot and we will not let Trump’s anti-student, anti-family, anti-educator agenda win.

BREAKING: The Senate just approved the bill to release the Epstein files.

This is an important step forward in long overdue justice for countless survivors.

This Transgender Awareness Week, we come together to celebrate the resilience and bravery of the transgender community in the face of relentless attacks.

My message to you is simple:

I am with you. I love you. I will never stop fighting for you.

I am disgusted by the racist, transphobic attacks on MCSW Commissioner Giselle Byrd. Massachusetts will not be intimidated. We must all come together to say no to hate. No to violence. No to attacks on transgender members of our community living as their true selves.

Honored to join the MA High School Dems Summit this weekend. Thank you for leading the way. The fight ahead won’t be easy, but together, we will win.

The Trump administration’s illegal, anti-worker attacks cannot stand. Proud to stand with Ellen Mei, Lane To, and @ayannapressley in Boston yesterday. Together, we will win.

The sacred act of public service is a decision thousands of public servants and federal workers make because they care about their communities. Trump and his billionaire buddies have punished them for speaking out. I stand with workers like Ellen to get the fair treatment they deserve.

Small businesses are being disproportionaly hurt by Trump's tariffs. Thank you to the small business owners who showed me what these harms mean first hand.

Release the jobs report. Release the Epstein files. Stop hiding the truth.

The Republican shutdown may be ending but the fight for health care is far from over. We won’t stop fighting to make our health care system work for working people not billionaires.

YouTube video by Ed Markey for Senate On Veterans Day

On Veterans Day and every day we must keep the promise of health care, of education, of employment that our veterans deserve. We must defend these programs as they have defended our nation. youtube.com/shorts/ty3TJ...

The government will reopen. One step forward, 22 million steps back. We should be fighting for transformative policies that fix our health care system and bring us back from the brink of this crisis. That’s what the American people want. It is a massive mistake to strip tens of millions of people of their health insurance. It’s an outright betrayal of what families need. But in our darkest moments we have to remember what we’re fighting for. It will be hard, but we’ve always known it would be. A better future is still possible—but only if we turn our anger into action and let it fuel us for the long fight ahead.

It is a massive mistake to strip tens of millions of people of their health insurance. It’s an outright betrayal of what families need.

Health care costs are skyrocketing.

Energy costs are skyrocketing.

Grocery costs are skyrocketing.

Voters came out on Tuesday to say its time to put an end to the corruption and chaos leading to these extreme costs.

Republicans are refusing to listen. youtu.be/ZZwbfUvsRek?...

Trump would rather let 42 million Americans go hungry than admit he broke the law.
