silver lining: it was awfully thoughtful of all these boston college administrations to draw the attention of a group of young, energetic, politically active students to last year's "tent ordinance" that cruelly targets the unhoused and is now being used to crack down on speech

If you're going to blast Mayor Wu for hosting a party for "electeds of color," this seems pretty relevant, eh, Boston Herald? Did you look into it? Or did you think your story was too good to check?

'But other councilors of color defended the party, saying the group “electeds of color” has been around for several years and has held other events.’

Reported last week: gives $10 million every year to the Israeli military. Any word from Liz Breadon or other city councilors in response to this revelation? It's only been a couple business days so I will give her benefit of the doubt, but I hope residents will stand up against genocide. Or will they be silent?

“The city of Boston gives $10 million every year to the Israeli military. How DARE you act like everything is okay!”

Much love and respect to the disrupters who confronted city council. I’m disgusted with my local government. We can do so much better! End the genocide.

Everything you like about where you live, someone fought for. Go vote in your local elections today.

It is absurd to me that you have to re-register to vote in every municipal election.

Anyway, be sure to check your voter registration and re-register because I think today is the last day to do that for the upcoming elections.

Just a reminder: proper ventilation in schools is a great way to improve educational outcomes. When students, teachers, staff, and parents don't get sick as often, everything gets better.

Where's The Barr Foundation on this issue? Where's The Boston Foundation? Where are all the rich people who purport to care about urban education?

It's almost like all their money and advocacy isn't actually about improving education.

It’s really time (at least in the U.S.) to reconsider a mask mandate for indoor spaces. November thru January?
I’m going to cut back on my time at bars/clubs again. Please do what you can to mask up and avoid the spread.

The Boston Globe frequently quotes "parent advocacy organization" School Facts Boston. But who is this organization really? I did some digging and...it's impossible to find out! https://write.as/brendanhalpin/the-mysterious-school-facts-boston

I saw an Erin Murphy sign recently and it featured a little map of Boston colored all white, which feels a little on the nose

folks, we need you to tomorrow! The preliminary election for city council takes place on 9/12. It will narrow down our options for November. Please make sure it is on your calendar now. https://www.boston.gov/departments/election

C’mon ! This is incredibly dangerous - and predictable if we fail to build better. Mass Ave
@CityOfBoston are you going to enforce the bikeway?
Because so far both my trips have featured this same motorist activity, which forces people on bike to enter the fray of traffic. Drivers are using the cycleway as a right turn lane AND parking in it.

On a bikeway approaching the back of a semi truck parked in it. Video leaves the bike lane to go around the truck, squeezing between live motor vehicles and a parked car in the process

Splendid @kelleratlarge commentary on the disingenuous foolishness over Mayor Wu’s so-called enemies list — which includes at least one critic who’s now considered armed and dangerous. https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/keller-at-large-mayor-wu-list-of-critics/
