#edmarkey — Public Fediverse posts

(In case you're curious, no, I am absolutely not going to donate to #EdMarkey's senate campaign, because there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that he's going to lose against whoever the GOP puts up to run against him, if indeed they put anybody up to run against him, so I will save my political donations for candidates who (a) actually need the help and (b) show sign of actually _meaning_ all their pretty words about the urgency of the moment we're in.)

"It's only my job to tell you what's actually going on and the dangers we face when I'm hoping to scare you into giving me money for my reelection campaign" is certainly a take.

I've been complaining since early in the second Trump administration that my U.S. Senators and Representative haven't been using their constituent email lists to keep people informed about what the #fascists are doing?
Well, I was excited to finally receive email from #EdMarkey in which he laid everything out in no uncertain terms. That is, I was excited until I realized it was a fundraising pitch from his campaign, not an email to his constituent email list. 😡
What the fuck.

Meanwhile #EdMarkey will show up on the podium at "No Kings" in Boston on March 28 wearing a pride scarf and yell into the microphone bragging about how he is our progressive senator fighting for progressive values in Washington. It's just, you know, he doesn't want to put it in writing or anything imprudent like that. Or tell us anything concrete he's done to resist fascism.
#politics #USPol

This is the first email #EdMarkey has sent constituents since October, and this is what he chooses to write about.
Not Iran, the price of gas, the looming food fertilizer and thus food shortages, Pretti or Good or ICE, or the Epstein Files or our child-rapist president.
Markey thinks the most important thing to tell his constituents is that he, Ed Markey, is good at earmarks.🤦
There are maybe a dozen members of Congress who are doing what's needed, and Markey isn't one of them.

“Such pervasive #surveillance — similar to surveillance conducted by #authoritarian regimes such as China — not only chills lawful expression & assembly but also raises serious constitutional concerns. Without transparency, accountability, & clear limitations, these practices erode fundamental individual rights & set a dangerous precedent for unchecked government #power,” Sen #EdMarkey wrote in a letter asking the agency for details about the plate readers & their use.

#Update

A number of Democratic lawmakers are questioning the legality of a #BorderPatrol predictive intelligence program that singles out & detains drivers for suspicious travel inside the country.

Sen #EdMarkey (D-MA) sent a letter to #CBP’s parent agency calling the license plate reader program an “invasive #surveillance network” that “poses a serious threat to individuals’ #privacy & #CivilLiberties” & said it may run afoul of the #US #Constitution.

There's no question that #EdMarkey needs to go. He has displayed no leadership in the fight against Trump. He embodies the kind of politics that render Democrats ineffective against fascism.
But #SethMoulton is not who we need to replace Markey <https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/rep-seth-moulton-massachusetts-senate-race-ed-markey-rcna237732>. We don't need "leaders" willing to throw trans people or anyone else under the bus <https://archive.ph/vHNoA>, "leaders" who think tacking further to the right is a winning strategy.

It's U.S. Senator #EdMarkey's turn to send a dumb, stupid, and wholly inadequate message about the government shutdown to his constituent email list.
(I wrote a few days ago <https://federate.social/@jik/115299635320232788> about Ayanna Pressley's bad email.)
Let's talk about all the things that are wrong with this email.

I subscribed to Sen. #EdMarkey's newsletter list 4 months ago. This email I received this morning is literally the first one he's sent since then. Four months of Trump and Musk and Vought and the GOP destroying the federal government and imposing fascist rule, and this is the first time Markey sends his constituents anything about what's happening.
(The text in the screenshot is far too long to fit in the alt text; I will post the text at the end of this thread.)

Saturday noon-1 - #Indivisible #protest in #Newton #massachusetts - with Senator #EdMarkey
https://bsky.app/profile/newtonindivisible.bsky.social/post/3lld3cbzzv22k
#BostonWeekend 11/x

Oh, thank God, #EdMarkey and #ElizabethWarren both voted against cloture for the continuing resolution.
I mean, it didn't help in the end because #ChuckSchumer is a #FecklessCoward who sold us out to the #GOP, but I can be _slightly_ less angry at my two senators for at least the next few days.
P.S. If you live in NV, IL, PA, NY, NH, MI, or HI, you should be VERY mad at one or both of your Dem senators. Find the group that's working on primarying them and volunteer.
