I wonder if the justices understand how many millions of American lives they hurt this week. I hope they’re proud of their legacy.


Many on the right say Trump is a victim of the Biden administration legally hounding him. An alternative explanation is that he’s a chronic litigant, with 4,000 legal cases in U.S and state courts prior to being elected President. I haven’t had one. You?

Honestly acknowledging history is the only way forward. The boil must be lanced or the wound will continue to fester. We’re fighting a war on memory and losing it is not an option.

On this day in 1903, several thousand white people lynched a Black man and attacked Black neighborhoods in Joplin, Missouri, burning homes and forcing every Black person to flee the city. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. calendar.eji.org/racial-injusti…

Honest exploration of our racist legacy is the only way forward. Learn from the Germans.

On this day in 1908, an Alabama congressman shot a Black man for cursing in front of a white woman on a street car in Washington, D.C. His fellow representatives commended his actions. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. calendar.eji.org/racial-injusti…

Accessibility should always be at the top of a business’ priority list if we are to have a truly inclusive society. Sometimes that doesn’t seem to be the case and it hurts. bostonglobe.com/2023/01/16/opi…


What a great appointment!

I’m appointing Lauren Jones Secretary of Labor & Workforce Development. She’s an experienced and collaborative leader with a plan to leverage untapped talent right here in Massachusetts. With our state facing a serious labor shortage, she’s exactly who we need at @MassLWD

Immigration is the U.S.’s “secret sauce” Anti-immigrant policies do real harm to our nation.

Yes, restrictions beget constriction. "Admitting fewer foreign-born workers can—and has—lead to shortages and labor shortfalls that harm the economy by limiting output and contributing to inflation." @NFAPResearch forbes.com/sites/stuartan…



Good jobs are good business.

As a CEO, I once faced a 50% revenue loss. We did 0 layoffs. Employees volunteered temporary pay cuts. 5 months after, staff had responded with record sales, all pay cuts were paid back plus raises. Incredible what treating employees like people can do. idahostatesman.com/news/business/…



Honored to join the Jobs policy committee for our new Governor. Let’s get to work for good jobs and economic opportunity for all Massachusetts residents.

Our campaign’s vision brought Massachusetts together. Our new policy committees will work to translate that vision into governing plans. This is going to take all of us, so head to our transition website to share your ideas — we want to hear from you. healeydriscolltransition.com



Good luck hiring and retaining talent in this job market with this work culture is.gd/2fen6i
