Ed Flynn continues to sound more and more like Donald Trump with every tweet.

Residents,workers & tourists continue to tell me they no longer feel safe in Downtown Crossing & Boston Common. With several permitted events already scheduled in Boston Common, I’m recommending these events not take place. Many parts of Boston Common are no longer safe! #bospoli

Hypocrisy

[Allston Brighton For Justice @ABForJustice]

Let’s remember the Nazi’s who utilized the Band Stand at the Boston Common had more protection by the police than peaceful protestors who set up tents in an alleyway that serves as 1 of 3 public entrances to a building.

[The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe]

Mayor Michelle Wu and Police Commissioner Michael Cox made the call to remove the pro-Palestinian tent encampment at Emerson College together, the mayor’s office said amid pushback on the removal of tents and the arrests of more than 100 protestors. https://t.co/Cr9Y38kpo1

Correction: MOST groups Murphy claimed endorsement from Saturday HAVEN’T ENDORSED her for SJC Clerk & some are legally PROHIBITED FROM ENDORSING anyone in any election.

Erin Murphy isn’t just perilously unqualified for this complex responsibility—she’s perilously unfit.

[Chip Goines @chipgoines]

Why are Boston's unions endorsing @ErinforBoston, a city councilor w/ no law degree, paralegal training, or common sense, for Mass. Supreme Judicial Court clerk for Suffolk County? This nonsense has former Labor Sec'y @MartyJWalsh's fingerprints all over it. #bospoli #mapoli

[Mom needs coffee (Lisa Green) @CarCarll]

If, as it seems, Murphy didn’t get most endorsements she listed in emails/press releases today, it shows how little respect she has for unions.

If she used their logos w/out permission, it’s not just unethical—it’s illegal. A qualified SJC Clerk would know that.

Unacceptable.

We must denounce Islamophobia, antisemitism, & violence in all its forms, and protect our faith houses, marginalized communities, & families made vulnerable in this moment.

My statement on the continuing violence in Israel and Gaza.

Votes for tool that criminalizes Black People by saying it’ll stop Nazi’s?

Nazi’s just made Liz Breadon vote to criminalize being Black in Boston?

[Councilor Liz Breadon 🏳️‍🌈 @LizBreadon]

Today I voted yes on an appropriation to fund data analysis and intelligence gathering of the Boston Regional Intelligence Center.

I look forward to the Council's partnering with Commissioner Cox to fully fund necessary intelligence work and enact further reforms.

[Jonathan 'Boo and Vote' Cohn @JonathanCohn]

If I were a white City Councilor, and all of the Black and Brown Councilors were voting against something, and I was planning to vote for it, I would want to do some deep reflection about what they are seeing that I'm missing.

Here’s what Breadon told the ACLU when she first ran for office:

[Allston Brighton For Justice @ABForJustice]

Councilor Breadon flipped positions on funding BRIC which will disparage and target communities of color across the city of Boston.

This will negatively impact the lives of so many Bostonians and we have Councilor Breadon to thank.

[David Fadul @david_fadul]

In 2019, Councilor Breadon told the ACLU that she wanted to abolish BRIC. She even tweeted about it a year later.

Today, she voted to give it more money.

Wu’s proposed plan to crack down on homeless encampments at Mass. and Cass faced heated resistance during a marathon Boston City Council hearing — an eight-hour debate that centered around the efficacy of police enforcement in the area.

[Tori Bedford @Tori_Bedford]

during a city council hearing on Mass and Cass, BPD commissioner Michael Cox says crime numbers are lower now, but he believes incidents are underreported.

BPD incident reports and city data do not show an uptick in crime or people congregating.

[Samantha J. Gross @samanthajgross]

The House has voted to send the wide-ranging tax package to the Senate, which is in formal session tomorrow.

Then, it's off to @MassGovernor's desk.

Only no vote came from progressive Cambridge Rep @MikeConnollyMA

[Kit Collins @Kit4Medford]

I'm consistently embarrassed by how little Massachusetts does with its Democratic trifecta. We could be a national example for why it's worth winning power to make people's lives better. Instead we're giving gifts to the rich and our trains are a joke.

🧵More 90s history: In 1994, bad news came for people across MA as rent control was BANNED statewide.🚫In a statewide ballot Q, Cambridge, Boston & Brookline, the cities/towns that actually HAD rent control voted to keep it, but other towns voted to ban in a narrow 51%-49% vote:
