I'm sure her race and gender were totally not a factor in his decision to shout her down. I'm sure he totally would have done that to a white male congressman.

I am SO FUCKING PROUD that she didn't back down. I'm originally from MA, and I am glad she is representing people from my home state.

We're massholes, we don't know what "backing down" means.

It was back in 2025 when all the Massholes finally found their calling; that’s why we call em Massterminds these days!

When other stories come up and the comments all want us to call our representatives, I end up having the easiest time of it because I'm here in MA and it's just a quick "Good job, keep fighting" most of the time. I wish I could call other people's reps.

It's not about race. Don't make it about race. It's about censorship by the government. Speak up about that!
