Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, representing Massachusetts' 7th district, has recently taken to social media to address several pressing issues. Her statements reflect her advocacy for transparency in media coverage, protection of civil rights, and support for labor unions.

On October 22, 2024, Pressley highlighted concerns regarding media access in Gaza. She stated: "With Israel restricting media access in Gaza, Palestinians have been forced to document their own destruction. We're urging @SecBlinken to ensure unimpeded access for U.S. & international journalists in Gaza. This is about transparency, accountability & freedom of the press."

In a tweet dated October 23, 2024, Pressley addressed domestic policy issues concerning the Supreme Court's decision on Roe v Wade and the potential risks posed by Project 2025. She remarked: "Trump and his far-right Supreme Court ended Roe v Wade, and they'll stop at nothing to roll back our freedoms. With Project 2025, Social Security, Medicare & marriage equality would all be at risk. We must #StopProject2025 and prevent this harmful agenda from becoming reality."

On October 24, 2024, Pressley expressed her support for public transit workers affiliated with the Machinists Union Local 318. She tweeted: "We can't take care of our public transit system without taking care of its workers. The @MachinistsUnion Local 318 pour their blood, sweat, & tears into the system we all rely on and they deserve a fair contract. Proud to stand with them until they get just that."
