This is good, but we need to be approving this many new houses per MONTH.
The Boston Planning & Development Agency approved a massive plan to transform 36 acres on Dorchester’s Columbia Point — adding 21 new buildings, a new street network, and nearly 2,000 apartments (20% affordable).

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Afternoon reports that some Democratic Senators may yield completely to Republican demands in return for the mere scheduling of a December vote to keep premiums affordable for those relying upon the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This would represent trading something for nothing.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

DHS says they “don’t arrest U.S. citizens for immigration enforcement.”
But at least 170 Americans they’ve detained know that’s not true.
Don’t ignore their stories.
If Trump can detain citizens—including combat Veterans—for days without cause, no one is safe from his whims.

How much housing is being built in Greater Boston and across Massachusetts?
Not nearly enough, according to our estimates. There’s a concerning decline in the number of housing permits, which are one indicator of how many housing units will be built in the future.
