These algorithms are responsible for glaring discrimination and bias. Evidence shows that Facebook has limited people of different races and religions from seeing housing ads and Google has excluded transgender or non-binary people from job search results. The list goes on. 3/5 — PolitiTweet.org

Social media algorithms leverage the data they collect about us to determine what posts users see. Algorithms are the tools Big Tech uses to keep us glued to their apps and coming back for more, so they can rake in profit. 2/5 — PolitiTweet.org

If you're just tuning in, algorithmic justice is not new. It's an issue I've worked on for years to address the systemic biases which harm marginalized communities and are disastrous when taken online and baked into Big Tech’s algorithms. Here's what it's all about. 1/5 — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk and a handful of billionaires now have dangerous influence over the most powerful online platforms. They can't be trusted, and self-regulation has failed. We must pass laws to protect privacy and promote algorithmic justice for internet users, especially for kids. — PolitiTweet.org

We must lift the refugee cap and fulfill our moral responsibility to welcome not only Ukrainians escaping Putin’s unjust war but all those fleeing violence and persecution in Afghanistan and around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Targeted ads to kids are inherently manipulative and a threat to children’s privacy online. Europe just moved forward with its proposal to ban this harmful practice. Congress should pass my bill to do the same. https://t.co/Exxm13zOYh — PolitiTweet.org

I just returned home from a trip to Poland and Belgium where I witnessed tremendous unity, resolve, and generosity in the face of Putin’s murderous campaign against Ukraine. https://t.co/5jDCbt66qY — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier this week, I was pleased to meet with U.S. diplomats and EU and NATO leadership to discuss the allied response to Putin’s unjust war of aggression in Ukraine. We must continue to do everything we can to support the Ukrainian people. https://t.co/Z5mAJXRYtM — PolitiTweet.org

I was delighted to join my colleagues in celebrating the investiture of @DARollins as the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. Congratulations Rachel, and I wish you the best as you embark on this journey to seek justice and equality for all under the law. https://t.co/5xX2BPGTKx — PolitiTweet.org

Racism and stigma have long driven the government to respond to substance use and addiction with the failed tactics of the ‘War on Drugs.’ I am pleased that the Biden admin is tackling the addiction & overdose crisis with policies that seek to heal, not incarcerate and ostracize. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I'm happy to see FERC's proposal includes provisions to support transmission planning and new grid technologies, as outlined in my CHARGE Act. This is an important first step. Now, Congress must pass $555 billion in climate investments and spur a clean energy revolution. — PolitiTweet.org

The climate crisis demands bold climate action and ambitious organizing. Join me next Friday with @ginamccarthy46 at @TuftsUniversity for our special event - Confronting the Climate Crisis: Global Solutions, Local Action. Register here: https://t.co/c9EO02oxO5 — PolitiTweet.org

On Earth Day, and every day, the movement to build a just and livable future remains strong in the face of the existential threat of climate change and the powerful Big Oil lobby. Together we will deliver climate justice and make good on the promise of a Green New Deal. https://t.co/APmByjmcft — PolitiTweet.org

This is a win in our fight for #netneutrality but all states deserve a free and open internet. We need Gigi Sohn - President Biden’s nominee for the FCC - confirmed ASAP to advance access, affordability, and equity in our digital future. https://t.co/E8CA9hOFqR — PolitiTweet.org

The Emergency Connectivity Fund will provide critical resources to children in Massachusetts and across the country again next year, but we must ensure this program gives every child access to reliable internet for years to come. I’m fighting to finally close the homework gap. — PolitiTweet.org

The inspirational work of @chefjoseandres and his @WCKitchen facility in Wilcza Hostel is helping to feed 250 Ukrainian refugees as part of an organization-wide effort to prepare millions of meals for Ukrainian refugees all over central Europe and in Ukraine. https://t.co/LoIk3jVWx7 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time that we legalize marijuana, expunge prior convictions, and use tax revenue from the legal marijuana industry to reinvest in communities burned by the war on drugs. — PolitiTweet.org

Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities, who bear the burden of environmental racism, have been locked out of resources to address climate change and deploy clean energy. We’re pushing @WHCEQ to take every step possible to measure, manage, and heal these inequities in its work. https://t.co/jV0njTTH3b — PolitiTweet.org

I am excited to join the Earth Day 2022 Virtual Stage tomorrow with @EarthDayOrg and @sciencemarchnyc to discuss the urgent need for climate action and environmental justice. RSVP at https://t.co/VFINaEM4T1 https://t.co/bJDVFvfQ66 — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to Jonathan Ornstein and the @JCCKrakow for welcoming us. It was my honor to meet Holocaust Survivor Zofia Radzikowska and learn about how the community center is providing support and resources to Ukrainian refugees. https://t.co/dTuydawLFI — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday in Warsaw @SenRickScott and I met with Polish Deputy Foreign Minister @marcin_przydacz to express strong bipartisan support for Polish security and deep appreciation for Poland’s warm reception of Ukrainian refugees. https://t.co/mA2q1mk7V4 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Earlier this week, I was proud to meet with Massachusetts soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division stationed in Poland who are defending the NATO alliance and supporting Ukrainians displaced by war. We must continue to respond with unity and resolve against Putin’s brutality. https://t.co/T9yp6WcoxH — PolitiTweet.org

But we don’t buy their lies. It’s time we invest boldly in climate action to liberate ourselves from these greedy corporations and make America run on affordable, clean, renewable energy. https://t.co/9CCQlgtwaG — PolitiTweet.org

Whether it’s deceiving the public about the true nature of a disastrous oil leak, or crying crocodile tears while charging exorbitant prices at the pump to line the pockets of executives – Big Oil lies. https://t.co/ofr1AdPsKR — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

12 years later and Big Oil is still lying. Oil companies are price gouging American consumers and putting profits over people. Exxon lobbyist, Keith McCoy, openly admitted to fighting against science to boost investor profits. https://t.co/Vej9OAQLEZ — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Americans only found out the truth when my committee forced BP to share live footage of the leak and broadcast it to the public. Turns out it wasn’t 5,000 barrels of oil pouring into the Gulf each day as BP claimed – it was 60,000. This was a true environmental disaster. https://t.co/1JuLOD9pZ7 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

12 years ago today the Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig exploded, sending tens of thousands of barrels of oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico and threatening the health of our oceans and communities. BP lied to cover it up. https://t.co/AlqNBxhRyp — PolitiTweet.org
