Republicans want to keep our union divided. But we won’t let them. By pursuing justice we will heal it. Economic justice. Climate justice. Health justice. And racial justice. That is the commitment President Biden is delivering on, and that is the future we will build. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We must also face down the existential threat of climate change and build a clean energy future that that centers frontline communities and is powered by solar, wind, and good union jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

And we will demand more from airline executives who’ve been getting away with charging exorbitant fees so that parents can sit with their kids. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We will build this future and more. We will codify abortion rights and protect LGBTQ+ young people from vile attacks across the country. We will hold big corporations like Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Big Oil accountable for putting people over profits. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

A future free from gun violence, with access to opioid treatment, and wi-fi connections for all students—at home. And a future where no one struggles to make ends meet while the wealthy and big corporations rake in record profits. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

A future where everyone has access to health care, no worker is illegally fired for attempting to form a union, no child gets sick from dirty water or air, and no Black or Brown person is murdered by police. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Tonight @POTUS set out a vision for a more ambitious, more equitable, more sustainable, and more just future. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

What’s disgusting is the GOP’s obsession with controlling people’s bodies. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

.@_KateDineen and I are ready to hear @POTUS give his SOTU address. With attacks on abortion rights in our courts and our states, it’s never been more urgent to guarantee abortion access and codify this essential right. Thank you Kate for joining me and for sharing your story. https://t.co/BZ7iJ8RZcq — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I’m wearing my abortion pin from @PPFA to tonight’s State of the Union address. Abortion is essential healthcare and we need to codify this right. https://t.co/ZfNj5OEZcj — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Thank you @RepAOC for confirming what we've long suspected—Border Patrol agents are collaborating with vigilante hate groups that unlawfully intimidate, harass, and detain immigrants. Last month, I wrote to the Biden administration for answers. DOJ, DHS, and CBP must come clean. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Only a few weeks into 2023, and this is the second time Massachusetts police have shot and killed someone suffering an apparent mental health crisis. This has to stop. Investigate, yes, but we already know we need to abolish qualified immunity and demilitarize the police. — PolitiTweet.org

Big oil was lying then, they’re lying now, and they will never stop lying to line the pockets of their shareholders with profits made at the cost of our health, our environment, and our future. We don’t need Big Oil’s pretend commitments—we need real change and real consequences. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Last May, Kate Dineen bravely shared her story of the anguish and uncertainty she experienced trying to get an abortion in Massachusetts. No one should face these barriers to care. I am honored that Kate is joining me at the State of the Union this year. https://t.co/1JShmrsPCI — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I am heartbroken by the news of this horrific earthquake. The U.S. and the entire international community must come together to provide immediate emergency assistance. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

More than 500 children are dead from drinking contaminated water, and many others are starving from a man-made humanitarian crisis. Brazil's extreme, far-right former president Bolsonaro must be held accountable for his crimes against the Yanomami people. https://t.co/zoO1ZfF4UE — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This decision from the 5th Circuit will cost lives. The far-right Supreme Court majority that has already struck down commonsense gun safety laws is now emboldening lower courts to go further. We can’t keep letting right-wing judges appointed by right-wing Presidents endanger us. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We are in an overdose crisis that requires a strong, whole-of-government response. That’s why we’re calling on @POTUS to reinstate the @ONDCP Director to a cabinet-level position to take on substance misuse with evidence-based, community-supportive strategies. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is beautiful. I will never stop fighting to protect it from oil and gas drilling, from climate change, and from outside forces that jeopardize this natural wonder and the rights of Indigenous peoples. https://t.co/aWQh24u76y — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Yesterday, I reintroduced my Arctic Refuge Protection Act to protect these sacred lands from drilling and uphold Indigenous sovereignty. And today I had the honor of meeting with and learning from the inspirational @Qchasinghorse and @JodyPotts18 about their home. Thank you. https://t.co/HfRUaEXbMK — PolitiTweet.org

The new Indonesian criminal code would imperil fundamental rights to privacy, freedom of expression, and access to health care. We are urging President Widodo to reconsider these provisions and uphold international human rights. https://t.co/hUMpNdPWdd — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

There is no justification for allowing gunmakers, dealers, and vendors to put sales over safety and target kids with this disgusting advertising of a deadly weapon. https://t.co/evjA0AxRhv — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

There's even marketing from Keystone Sporting Arms with a stuffed toy, trading pin, and accessories that read ‘‘my first rifle’’. https://t.co/nGQUMZ0iHH — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

And here's their original pacifier-using, pig-tail-wearing skull-and-crossbones logo. https://t.co/ImOZXDfa7I — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Here's a toddler holding WEE1 Tactical’s ‘‘JR-15’’ assault-style weapon, marketed and sold as a child’s version of the AR-15 assault rifle, the weapon of choice in so many mass shootings. https://t.co/XbAnnzpx0G — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I just introduced the Protecting Kids from Gun Marketing Act because no one should be able to market deadly firearms to children. From the “JR-15” to all the sickening examples in this thread—this marketing is shameful, irresponsible, and dangerous. The FTC must put an end to it. — PolitiTweet.org
