Today, Trump is still being forced to cancel loans because that lawsuit is working. Fighting back works. It's why I'm running. #DemocracyStartsAtHome #studentloans #studentdebt21 Mar 2026 21:12 +0000at://did:plc:ienbtaksv76aban6f2qqq7ud/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhlx36i7n22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/persisyu.bsky.social/post/3mhh3r5eglm2m#EidMubarak to all who celebrated this holy month! 🌙 Ramadan is a season of reflection, community, and showing up for each other.

And yet, every day, families are being priced out of the neighborhoods they built. I'm running for state senate to change this. #DemocracyStartsAtHome #Housing #Walpole #Dedham #Norwood17 Mar 2026 16:02 +0000at://did:plc:ienbtaksv76aban6f2qqq7ud/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhbdvxn4bs23https://bsky.app/profile/persisyu.bsky.social/post/3mh6x3svdxo22Real representation doesn't start on Beacon Hill. It starts here--in our neighborhoods, at our local businesses, with the people who make Norfolk & Suffolk home. Persis Yu shows up before Election Day. That's the difference. Community first.

What do these things have in common? Answer: When oil prices spike, so does the cost of everything here. That's a system that leaves working families exposed — and it's exactly what we're fighting to change. Democracy starts at home. And right now, home is getting more expensive every day.12 Mar 2026 18:30 +0000at://did:plc:ienbtaksv76aban6f2qqq7ud/app.bsky.feed.post/3mguzsx66om23https://bsky.app/profile/persisyu.bsky.social/post/3mgskzpb3vc25I got a letter from my oil company saying that the cost to heat my home is going up... again. Trump's escalation of this forever war means that a crisis happening halfway around the world lands directly on our kitchen tables. I'm fighting back!
