1. How? Literally no society has “ended homelessness” yet.
2. This requires an act of Congress. Then the Supreme Court will veto such an act.
3. Public school funding is controlled by the states. REPUBLICANS want to keep it that way.
4. Congress
5. Congress.
6. The President. Does not control. The price of gas.
7. To everybody or just brown people? Because the people who say “close the border” usually are only talking about brown people.
8. Congress. Then the Supreme Court will say no.
9. Congress. Then the Supreme Court will say no.
10. Yes!! He could try to do this!… Then the Supreme Court will say no.

#BREAKING: Boston Marathon Sued for Discrimination by Black Running Crew
Seeking to forestall a repeat of the racial profiling incident that occurred at the 2023 #BostonMarathon, a prominent Black-led running group filed a federal discrimination lawsuit against the #Newton Police Department (NPD) & the #Boston Athletic Association (BAA), asking the court to enjoin racial profiling & harassment against the running group and its members. The lawsuit, filed by Lawyers for Civil Rights (@LCRBOSTON) on behalf of TrailblazHers (@Trailblaz_Hers), also seeks redress for emotional distress & trauma caused by last year’s racial profiling incident. https://t.co/EiboTpXuCf (1/16) #BreakingNews

@CycleJargon @BruceMohl That does NOT solve the problem. A more expansive solution is needed that includes the traffic coming from Milton and beyond.

Napa, you were great. Thank you for having me. Still, the thing I discuss that has the biggest response is when we break down that grades ≠ proficiency. Teaching students and parents to ask about their proficiency level despite the letter grade is important.

The consequence of privatizing third spaces, both through land development (malls) and the promotion of youth sports (which takes up all the ball fields that kids without the means to join leagues can't play on ever).

@WelcomeToDot I truly wish the City would stop nesting its
grandiose ideas for problem solutions on the backs of Black and Brown communities. There is history to this opposition beyond the flavor of day ‘let’s do it!’

What a subjective statement.

As President of a neighborhood assoc, I strongly disagree (born & raised in Boston).

No one knows what happened to the combat zone, many of us do, see it, live its move.

Conversations around land use are not all bad, but we ain’t going no where.
