Honored and humbled to be named one of @BostonMagazine 150 most influential Bostonians. As someone not originally from the city of Boston, this recognition means the world to me. This city has embraced me, given me a home, and provided endless opportunities to make a difference
Quick morning scroll and #MAPoli is in a frenzy! Elected officials taking slick shots at each other, staffers defending their bosses, other electeds putting out vague statements. Trying to legislate, defend yourself, or deflect blame via social media usually doesn’t go as planned
Republicans in North Carolina just proposed a bill that says if a woman is caught with an IUD or attempts to get an abortion then men are allowed to use DEADLY FORCE to try and stop her. They are proposing a bill that will allow men to kill women for using birth control. It’s House Bill 1232. Keith Kidwell is the Republican who proposed the bill. He claims it counts as self defense to use deadly force to stop abortion. This is a man who claims to be pro life. Feel free to give his office a call and let him know how you feel about his opinion.
And for anyone who says “obviously this will never get passed” that’s not the point. The point is it’s fucking insanity that a government official would even try to make a law like this. It’s insanity that there are men out there who are trying to make it legal to kill women for making decisions for their own bodies. This is real and it’s happening right now in front of our eyes.
This time last week, I was printing the pre-reg list, welcome signs, and packing the car with first aid kits and sanitizer, while ensuring the $5000 we were giving away to $upport attendees in some interesting times, was secured on my person.
For five years, we’ve consistently brought health and wellness providers and community together in Roxbury to ensure our neighbors get the information it needs to get and stay healthy.

Look at the turn out for this Nike EYBL regional game… Team Takeover vs. Team Durant. Two DMV based teams.
Nike may have struck gold with this concept!
Today reminded me of one of the reasons I enjoy consulting. While one client and group chat is rightfully stressing over the SCOTUS ruling yesterday, another client was actively addressing the issue head on by pivoting to fighting for State SC seats. Keeps me hopeful
NBA teams were 1713-1 when leading by 6 or more in the last 30 sec of regulation in the playoffs in the last 29 years.
They are now 1713-2. Rockets are the 2nd team in 29 years to blow a 6+ point lead in the final 30 seconds of regulation, joining the 2024 Knicks.
> Oracle is worth $400 billion
> Its founder is the third richest man on the planet
> Oracle reported a 22% revenue gain this quarter
Still they fired 30,000 employees over email to fund AI Data centers. You don't hate billionaires enough.
Well this is ... odd.
The endorsement section on KLB's campaign website is...just a template page and doesn't even have her name OR picture on it #GAGov#gapol

OK, not gonna lie, I thought this was another #Druski skit. This is Rep. Kat Cammack (FL) at the Young Republicans Convention in Dallas, TX. But this goes to show you he didn’t directly attack or even name #ErikaKirk he said “Conservative Women” and his depiction was spot on lol
🚨 HOUSTON AIRPORT COLLAPSES OVERNIGHT — TSA SHUT DOWN, PASSENGERS LEFT SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR UNTIL 3:30AM
This is inside IAH (George Bush Intercontinental Airport) at 3–4AM.
TSA wasn’t slow… it wasn’t backed up… it was shut down.
• Lines stretched from the basement through the terminal
• Zero movement for hours
• People missing flights before security even opened
• Entire sections of IAH turned into a makeshift sleeping area
Look at the floor.
Suitcases everywhere.
People using backpacks as pillows.
Dozens laid out across the terminal just waiting for TSA to come back.
Hours go by…
Then at 3:30AM, security finally reopens.
By then, people had already spent the entire night stranded inside the airport.
If this is normal now… what’s next?
Raul Rivera yelling again outside Mamdani’s presser.
Mamdani: “I want that man to be able to afford to keep living in New York City, because the day that I don't hear him yelling at me, it means he got priced out of this place.”
