Good. Our pressure is working. We don’t have to accept an ever-expanding surveillance state. Now Ring needs to go further: End facial recognition now.
What’s described here isn’t isolated—it’s systemic. Embedded bias in AI has real-world consequences. My AI Civil Rights Act would put strict guardrails on algorithms to prevent bias and discrimination. Innovation without safeguards isn’t progress.
ICE and CBP are using facial recognition to surveil Americans and target protesters.
No transparency. No accountability.
We need to pass my ICE Out of Our Faces Act to ban this abuse and defend our constitutional rights.

La administración de Trump está atacando sistemáticamente a niños no acompañados para expulsarlos, deteniéndolos durante largos periodos en condiciones inhumanas y desmantelando protecciones. Esto es inadmisible. Los niños deben estar con sus familias–no tras las rejas. Pongamos fin a este terror.
The Trump administration is systematically targeting unaccompanied children for removal, detaining kids for long periods in inhumane conditions, and dismantling child-friendly protections. This is vile and unconscionable. Kids belong with their families—not living behind bars. End this terror.
BREAKING: Trump’s EPA just repealed the landmark endangerment finding to give polluters a free pass. The science is clear: greenhouse gas pollution presents a clear and present danger to our health and planet. No amount of denial from Trump or Zeldin will change that.

Trump’s SBA is ratcheting up its discriminatory attacks on immigrants.
The result? Local economies and small businesses are suffering.
The Small Business Administration must rescind its draconian citizenship rule and give entrepreneurs a fair shot at the American dream.
I am calling on ICE to immediately release Seamus Culleton. It is appalling that Seamus has remained in detention for 5 months in dire conditions, away from his family. As a spouse of a U.S. citizen with strong Massachusetts ties, there is no justification for keeping him detained. Release him now.
Our nation’s largest public utility with its MAGA Republican appointed board is prioritizing dirty coal on behalf of our dirty President—driving up energy costs and polluting air and water for the 10 million Americans who live in the Tennessee Valley. The TVA must change course.
Get ICE out. Lawless thugs are terrorizing entire communities, have murdered and injured innocent people with impunity, and are surveilling and targeting protestors. Not another dime for ICE. Defund. Abolish.
This is good news. Now Trump needs to say the same thing. We do not want a new, dangerous, and expensive nuclear arms race with Russia or China. The last one cost $10 trillion and almost destroyed the planet. Been there, done that.
Canada and Massachusetts do $16 billion in trade every year. Trump's tariffs have only made housing and energy more expensive in the Commonwealth. Time for them to end.
