Ayanna Pressley, serving as a Congresswoman representing Massachusetts’ 7th district, shared three impactful posts on the social media platform X over the course of two days. Her tweets touched on topics ranging from domestic policy and international conflict to community engagement.

In a post from April 4, 2025, Congresswoman Pressley criticized former President Trump’s "attack on Title X funding," labeling it "an attack on women, health care, and vulnerable people." She expressed her commitment to joining forces with the Reproductive Health Caucus and the Democratic Women's Caucus in urging Secretary Kennedy to restore these funds and associated services that "millions of our constituents depend on."

Later the same day, in a tweet published at 16:00 UTC on April 4, 2025, Pressley voiced her distress over the conflict in Gaza, describing "the limp bodies of babies and toddlers" and "the shrieks of fathers frantically holding their dead children." She condemned the involvement of the U.S. in the situation, calling the suffering "unconscionable." She advocated for a return to "the January ceasefire agreement," a cessation of "all offensive weapons to the Israeli military," and urged further unspecified action.

The following day, in a tweet from April 5, 2025, Pressley praised YG Boston’s efforts in education. She highlighted the organization's "transformative work to keep our students in school and improve outcomes for at-risk young men and women." Her gratitude extended to both the work they do "pouring into our youth" and the opportunity to meet with them during a recent district work period.
