When the government forces a television network to take a late night comedian off the air because he made comments that the president didn’t like, we no longer live in a democracy.
This weekend, I was proud to work with my friends at @baystatestonewall.bsky.social to ensure that the new MassDems platform included language to protect LGBTQ+ people. In this moment in time we cannot afford to take our rights and safety for granted.
