Quote of the Day
“Maura Healey is political actor with no moral center. Ideally, we wouldn't have to vote for someone like this to lead our blue state. At minimum she needs to be pressured to drop her pro-ICE policies.”
A Bluesky post on claims that Maura Healey declines to end state’s partnership with ICE.
