This is our city. We’re going to continue following & enforcing the laws to keep all Bostonians safe. And it goes without saying that our police commissioner has my complete confidence & support.

That's right - we should cut government waste.

But we're seeing Trump and Musk's plan in action: pausing federal funds that rip school lunch away from preschoolers and end Meals on Wheels for seniors. That's not efficiency, it's cruelty.

I have better ideas.

These are not the actions of an innocent man looking to uphold the rule of law and defend the Constitution.

They are the actions of a guilty, vengeful tyrant looking to silence his enemies and remove every check on his power.

Coward.

Sorry I was right 💀
The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway.

And those who warned America about it were right.

For Elon Musk and Donald Trump, “government efficiency” means cutting programs like Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and veterans benefits.

I’ve got a better plan.

They will go after Wikipedia.

They will go after libraries.

They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports.

They will go after archives.

Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy.

Thinking is the enemy.

No one is OK right now.

At least, no one with working empathy and a knowledge of History who’s paying attention.

Dr. King asked, "will we descend into chaos or build a beloved community?"

The answer must always be community, and we must do the work of actively building it.

As we prepare for the next four years, I was proud to join @aclum.bsky.social to do just that. www.boston.com/news/local-n...
