Representative Jamie Raskin, serving Maryland's 8th district in Congress since 2017, has been vocal on various issues through social media. Born in Washington, D.C. in 1962, Raskin graduated from Harvard University and Harvard Law School. He has taken to Twitter to express his views on religious celebrations, governmental actions, and civil rights.
On March 30, 2025, Raskin extended well wishes to those observing a prominent holiday. "To all those celebrating Eid al-Fitr in Maryland and beyond, may this year bring you peace and joy. Eid Mubarak!" he tweeted, making it clear his message aimed to bring kindness and unity.
The following day, March 31, 2025, Raskin addressed a serious concern involving high-profile political figures. "President Trump and Secretary McMahon fired the employees responsible for protecting students’ civil rights in Maryland and our region. We’re demanding answers." Raskin expressed the need for accountability within the current administration.
Later that same day, he focused on inclusivity and equality. "On this Trans Day of Visibility—while Trump and MAGA scapegoat and fearmonger—we recommit to fighting so all Americans can live with equal rights and respect under the law." Raskin emphasized the significance of standing up for the rights of marginalized communities.
