WHERE’S ED MARKEY? Today, I participated in a U.S. Senate Candidate forum regarding food insecurity, moderated by the amazing people at Project Bread. @Tache4MA, @sethmoulton, @DeatonforSenate showed up to participate. @SenMarkey was CONFIRMED to participate. In fact, as you can see, his seat was right next to mine. But, only minutes before it started, Markey suddenly cancelled. Considering I was a last minute addition, I think Good-Old-Ed saw the Deaton-Mobile parked outside the front door and decided that he wasn’t going to talk about food insecurity and food stamps 🆚 the Food Stamp Warrior. I can now officially say, Seth Moulton has agreed - if he wins the primary- to at least 3 general election debates. Three major television outlets - with a fourth likely coming - have already asked for Markey, Moulton and myself to commit to their debate request. I have. Seth has. So, I ask once again: WHERES ED MARKEY?

So says the man who spent over a DECADE compiling one of the most racist voting records in Congress. During the ’70s and ’80s, @EdMarkey backed a Constitutional Amendment to ban busing Black kids into white school districts - the same districts he represented, which were 95-99% white. 🙋‍♂️ QUESTION: How racist do you have to be to want to amend the Constitution just to keep Black kids out of white schools? That’s not all. Markey was a loud defender of Bob Jones University - a school that banned Black students outright in the ’70s, then banned interracial dating and marriage in the ’80s. Fall in love with the wrong person, get expelled. When the IRS moved to strip Bob Jones of its tax-exempt status, Markey voted to protect it. Strange how invested he was in a South Carolina university with zero ties to Massachusetts. 🤔 Then there’s Rachel Rollins. Markey bragged about her endorsement, calling her a symbol of racial justice - skin color over substance. He lobbied hard to get her named U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts. She resigned in disgrace over ethics violations. Funny - no mention of “racial justice” then. As recently as August 2020, Danroy “DJ” Henry Sr. called Markey out on camera: performs one way for the cameras, completely different when they’re off. Henry said Markey was still calling Black people “colored.” Malcolm X warned blacks that white progressives - like Markey - posed a unique danger to Black liberation - because they dress up political self-interest as friendship. That’s exactly the “friendship” Markey offers: pandering to Black voters while claiming to support reparations, after spending years fighting tooth and nail against one of America’s first real acts of reparative justice - school desegregation. He fought to keep Black kids out of white schools. He protected a racist university a thousand miles from home. He used Black leaders as political props - then dropped them the moment it was inconvenient. If Markey wants to talk repair, he can start with his own wallet. After all, after 53 years in office - he’s a multimillionaire - courtesy of the American taxpayer. Until he does - Ed, sit this one out.

Trump’s Education Department is gutting the very resources that help schools fight segregation and uphold students’ civil rights. I am leading the demand with my colleagues that the Department withdraw this proposed rule and ensure every student can attend a school where they

LIKE I SAID: Two career politicians arguing over which one is more corrupt than the other. MA has a chance for real change and nonpartisan leadership come November 3.

Congressman Moulton is making millions from investments in defense contractors that come before his committees. This should be illegal. He should divest from these investments.

Hey @JohnEDeaton1 as always, I can't thank you enough for what you do. Do you have any new insight on the Linqto case? This email that I see from yesterday pertaining to Linqto & Forge Global Inc. doesn't look good.

Standing in Watertown Square, where new development is moving forward while small businesses are still recovering from years of construction. It’s a story playing out across Massachusetts: people are being priced out of the communities they grew up in. As your next U.S. Senator, I’ll fight for the federal resources that help communities build more affordable housing and make it possible for people to stay in the neighborhoods they call home.

No truer words have been said.

Don’t blame baby boomers because they could buy houses for $20k and pay for college with a summer job. Blame the politicians who printed money from thin air for half a century to fund expansion of government, war and grift. The money is broken. Fix the money. Fix the world.

.@EdMarkey and I should travel across MA debating issues that allow voters to compare and decide which one of us has the best solutions to the problems facing working families. I even offered to drive - giving Ed the bed on the bus in order to rest. #mapoli #MASen #Deaton

“But it shows that Massachusetts, with its ever-rising costs, high taxes, and sometimes unfriendly business climate, is losing ground to rivals across the country, even in some of its most prized industries.”
