Some #NewtonMA parents really want to sue teachers: Judge tossed their suit over the strike as moot, since the strike is over, so they promptly filed a new suit, because "moot" doesn't mean what the judge thinks it means, and they've been damaged to the tune of $25M.

LOL. The #DropkickMurphys have done an acoustic version of their "workers song" for the #teachers in #NewtonMA that are on #strike.

I have their last album in my car, it's great stuff for driving and singing by yourself, with more union ballads.

This weekend: weigh in on a protected bike lane design for Washington Street in #newtonma

https://mass.streetsblog.org/2023/12/15/this-weekend-weigh-in-on-a-protected-bike-lane-plan-for-newtons-washington-street

A locator map of the Washington Street Pilot project. A red horizontal line in the middle of the map indicates the project location, on Washington Street between Chestnut St. in West Newton and Lowell Ave. in Newtonville. In the upper right a purple box notes the location of "MBTA Newtonville Commuter Rail Station," a few blocks east of Lowell Ave. On the left edge of the map another purple box indicates the location of "MBTA West Newton Commuter Rail Station." In the lower right a black box indicates the location of "Newton North High School" between Walnut Street and Lowell Ave. A wider white line parallel to and just underneath the red line labelled Washington Street represents Interstate 90.

After some twenty years of working to secure funding, current officials may drop the ball.

Multiple lanes and bridges closed on the Mass Pike in #NewtonMA I don't have any idea of the cause currently. Whatever happened seems to have been recent.

Police cars and ambulances on a bridge over a highway.

Hunger knows no geographical or political boundaries. This morning's harvest went to the local food pantry's freedge, which is half cupboard, half refrigerator. #hunger #foodsecurity #donations #newtonma

Large heads of lettuces, mounds of kale, some collards washed and laid out on red and blue checked cloths.
