This is a horrifying violation of Rumeysa's constitutional rights to due process and free speech. She must be immediately released. And we won't stand by while the Trump Administration continues to abduct students with legal status and attack our fundamental freedoms.
A Tufts University graduate student has been detained by ICE “The university had no pre-knowledge of this incident,” Tufts president Sunil Kumar wrote, “and did not share any information with federal authorities prior to the event.” www.wgbh.org/news/local/2... @gbhnews.bsky.social
Last week, Trump revoked a policy prohibiting federal contractors from having segregated facilities. Today, Republicans are opposing my amendment to ban segregation. They literally want to take America back to Jim Crow. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2WbyXJK/
This Women’s History Month, I visited the Harvard Kent Elementary School in Charlestown to read ‘ABC What Can She Be?’ 📚 TY to Ms. Collings & her amazing Pre-K students for the warm welcome. And a special shoutout to our educators, school psychologists, & librarians!

Kitty Dukakis was an incredible role model in authenticity, transparency, and vulnerability. Her deeply personal advocacy for mental health and substance use awareness helped remove the stigma & change our political discourse. My heart is with Gov. Dukakis, John, Andrea, Kara, and their family.
Breaking news: Kitty Dukakis, tireless advocate and political spouse who candidly shared her struggles, has died
Attempting to dismantle @usedgov.bsky.social is a despicable and unlawful move from a wannabe king who means harm to everyone in America. It's an assault on students and educators that will undermine public education, threaten civil rights, and harm our most vulnerable. My full statement:
A statement cover that reads: Rep. Pressley Condemns Trump Executive Order Dismantling Education Department
Rep. Pressley Condemns Trump Executive Order Dismantling Education Department (1/2): 

“The federal role in education is both essential and clear. For decades, the federal government has provided essential funding to our schools and our students. Federal dollars and programs address teacher shortages, administer financial aid, support students with disabilities, collect data on disparities, enforce civil rights protections, keep the lights on in our public schools, and so much more.

“That is the federal role. Dictating what can be taught, gutting essential programs, tearing books off the shelves of school libraries, and using the bully pulpit to attack our kids and taunt their race, gender, or who they love as Donald Trump is trying to do here is clearly not the federal role.
Rep. Pressley Condemns Trump Executive Order Dismantling Education Department (2/2): 

“This latest executive action is despicable and unlawful behavior from a man who wants to be king and wants to harm everyone who calls this country home. It is an assault on students and educators that will undermine public education, threaten civil rights, and harm our most vulnerable students in Massachusetts and across America.

“Congress created the Department of Education and only Congress can abolish it. We will fight this every step of the way, in the courts and in community. Every child deserves a free and fair public education—that is foundational to our democracy and the American dream.”
Our seniors deserve to age with dignity. But with Musk and Trump trying to end Meals on Wheels and Social Security, it's no wonder the word "SWINDLE" was top of mind for them. It's always a joy to meet with our elders at the Randolph Intergenerational Community Center and play a game of scrabble.

Haitian TPS holders have been living in the U.S. for years—growing families, starting businesses & serving the country. Ending TPS & deporting them back to a humanitarian crisis is a death sentence. That's why we’re calling on DHS to reverse its decision. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
After weeks of blocking food, water & fuel, the Israeli govt has resumed its bombing of Gaza—slaughtering over 400 Palestinians & putting the remaining hostages at risk. Unconscionable. The US must stop funding this genocide & use every diplomatic tool to restore the ceasefire.
It’s never a bad day at work when your awesome Congresswoman stops by! Thank you, @pressley.house.gov, for bringing down the house at our inaugural Served With Pryde community lunch and proving that everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day!
