Josh Kraft, propped up by MAGA billionaires and out-of-state billionaire BFFs of Bob Kraft, is spending $millions on negative campaigning.

Kraft is oscillating between cycle lanes and White Stadium like a tuning fork.

Let’s send this guy packing.

Today marks one year since I first reported that Seaport Square’s master developer buried “Public Elevators” deep inside 400 Summer St.

But worse, they mounted wayfinding signage with text so small the signs are practically illegible.

One year later, no improvement to signs. What a disgrace. ♿️

"Can the president read" is going to get buried under "the president believes his predecessor was killed before assuming office and was replaced by a clone."

When people talk about authoritarianism with American characteristics, these are the American characteristics.

White middle-aged thugs who actively sought out jobs that allow them to be violent to other humans with impunity.
Their ‘masculinity’ and sense of self worth is intrinsically tied to feeling powerful and dominating people in vulnerable positions. But only those who are not allowed to fight back.

This is so freaking funny that Ed Flynn could be so incredibly stupid. Wow! Is he taking MAGA lessons from Donald Trump??

And Tremont is one of the safest, cleanest, best designed bike lanes in the USA!

Wu to an incomprehensible Rep. Gosar: "If you want to make us safe, PASS gun reforms, STOP cutting Medicaid, stop cutting cancer research, stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our city safe."

To every one of my neighbors back in Boston, know this: You belong here. This is your home. Boston es tu hogar. Boston se lakay ou. 這是你的家.

This is our city.

We are the safest major city in the nation because we are safe for everyone.

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities.

That means:
🚫 No gas from corporate giants
🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.

Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.

Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

Glad to see this from @bostonschools.boston.gov: under FERPA BPS cannot and will not share student information with ICE, and does not recognize administrative warrants.

It was during the first Trump admin that school police and federal fusion center deported a student. This must not happen again.
