"I want to be Governor of Massachusetts but I am afraid of a park" is not a great pitch.
"Can you imagine descending into a dark..."

Shortsleeve and Kennealy are off their respective rockers, outperforming one another w/ melodramatic outrage about crime in Boston.

The Commonwealth has two blowhards one upping each other in Grand Guignol style. Sad and peculiar.

Portland resists with whimsical improv theater, Chicago resists by screaming at weird jagoffs that don’t belong in the neighborhood. Every city brings its own strengths to the fight
The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

This morning, we proudly cut the ribbon on the new Sarah Roberts School in Roslindale!

In 1847, a brave five-year-old girl and her father became the first to challenge school segregation in court. Sarah Roberts and her father, Benjamin Roberts, sued the City of Boston. 🧵

Happy first day of school, Boston!

And a happy new school opening day to The Sarah Roberts.

Sarah and her father Benjamin filed the first school desegregation suit in US history in 1849.

She was represented by Robert Morris, the first Black attorney in MA, and future US Senator Charles Sumner.

Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

Earlier this year Michelle Wu showed up before a Trumper House committee with an Ash Wednesday cross on her forehead and her newborn baby, then proceeded to rip their heart out and show it to them. I couldn't understand why Josh Kraft didn't announce the next day that he'd decided not to run.

To clarify: Boston doesn’t need a mayor who only recently registered as a (Blue Dog) Democrat before launching his campaign, but voted Republican in the 2016 Presidential election cycle, & has supported MAGA anti-choice, anti-marriage equality, election denier federal candidates around the country…

All we knew at that time was what we continue to hold true today: that there is a difference between right and wrong and between freedom and tyranny, that what we do in each moment matters, and that a better future for our families is always worth fighting for.

Happy Independence Day, Boston.

250 years ago, Washington had only began transforming our militia into an organized army, we had just lost the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the British burned Charlestown to the ground and occupied Boston.

There was no way of knowing then that a year later we would declare our independence.
