Statement from Senate President Karen Spilka on leaving X
Throughout my life, I have worked hard to uphold the values of religious freedom that I cherish here in America. And the Massachusetts Senate has taken a strong stance against hate-fueled religious violence here in the Commonwealth by funding security grants for non-profits and religious institutions in the face of rising antisemitic and other hateful attacks on innocent people.
Actions speak louder than words, but words still matter. Elon Musk has long promoted and enabled hateful speech and it is clear that he is not committed to hosting a platform that builds productive, respectful dialogue. With Elon Musk’s endorsement of a monstrous and dangerous antisemitic lie, I can no longer justify using the X platform for any reason.
I can be found on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and LinkedIn, as can the Massachusetts State Senate. I hope you will follow me, and the Senate, on these platforms, and join us in leaving X.
