Looking at the street redesign we could have had in Southie... Who actually lives here and wants Dorchester St and Old Colony to stay highways for people speeding through to downtown? Disagree about West Broadway, fine. But those two? Nobody thinks they're working

The town of Wilmington has approved spending nearly $11 million to buy Sciarappa Farm, a wooded 63-acre site, to keep it from being developed. https://t.co/A5bRPUSsE5

@FortPointer Fair enough! He was Ed’s sidekick at the SBTAP meeting rejecting the plans outright without a single reason why other than ‘they aren’t gonna come in here and change southie’- disappointing, not true leadership. I’d be happy to change my mind but he hasn’t shown me a reason yet

@FortPointer I was at the hearing today and it’s surreal - he talks about pedestrian safety but shot down SBTAP in its entirety, a plan that involved years of work with specific recommendations to make his neighborhood safer. Rejected it outright.

Road traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for young people, yet they remain overlooked. We can change that. That’s why @bloombergdotorg is committing $350 million to make streets safer and support cycling infrastructure worldwide.

@FortPointer He’s blocked @ShaunSulli11684 for respectfully asking questions and he’s ignored our emails about parking reform for 6 months- we aren’t in his echo chamber so he shuts us out.

[The Fort Pointer @FortPointer]

Experts agree. The elimination of parking minimums not only improves affordability, it reduces congestion.

Because the proposal is counterintuitive, what’s needed is info, edu and leadership. Not pandering.

Clrs Flynn & Murphy have no expert supporting them. They are pandering.

[Dan Kavanaugh @DanKavanaugh3]

@FortPointer @ShaunSulli11684 He sees his job as to echo whatever the 10-25 residents he has deemed “his constituents” yell at him. He doesn’t research, he doesn’t engage with voters, and spends his is time pushing Herald talking points, e.g downtown is a war zone. It’s a shame.

@baystaters @MayorWu I’ve found this helpful related to white stadium if you’re interested! https://t.co/g9cXYLm6sG

[Dan Kavanaugh @DanKavanaugh3]

Excited to re-elect @MayorWu! Boston needs dynamic forward looking leadership and I can’t wait to vote for four more years!

BREAKING (Herald): Legal filing indicates Josh Kraft is set to inherit #NERevs.

Kraft, as usual, fails to provide details or plans. He "has" no role. "At this time" it's Bob Kraft. 100% present tense.

Would Kraft's Senior Advisor run the Mayor's Office on #NERevs decisions? 🤔

Dear travelers and fellow Americans,

I’ve long appreciated the concept of “solidarity” to describe the collective power created by people coming together to defend their freedoms — whether they be shipyard workers in Poland breaking away from the USSR or poor farmers in Central America rising up against authoritarian regimes to fight for civil liberties. But I never imagined that we, as American citizens, would need to deploy the tool of solidarity to stand up for embattled freedoms here in our own homeland.

But sadly, a perfect storm of political conditions has left American democracy in an existential struggle. We have a president who wants to literally replace our system of government — a system which has inspired freedom-lovers across the planet for nearly 250 years — with an oligarchy… a dictatorship. The excuses? Fentanyl, illegal immigrants, paper straws, trans athletes, and the cost of eggs. And now, solidarity is vital for the cause of American freedom.

It's hard to imagine our rule of law, our constitution, and our time-honored checks and balances could be endangered. With all the chaos, alternative facts, and rope-a-dope of daily surprises in the news, the step-by-step dismantling of our democracy can be hard to notice. But Project 2025 is an effective blueprint for the establishment of autocratic rule in the USA. It’s much like the playbook that dictators from Mussolini to Erdoğan have followed…only smarter and more formal.

You know that sinking feeling you get at the card table when you and your friends are playing Hearts, and you realize that someone is about to “shoot the moon”? That’s how I feel watching Trump: He has the necessary cards, and he may be unstoppable.

But it’s not too late. We can all speak out, not as Democrats or Republicans…not as liberals or conservatives…but as patriotic American citizens. When I speak at rallies, I wear a purple shirt — not blue, not red, but D and R mixed together. To be honest, I miss the constructive back-and-forth between practical Republicans and idealistic Democrats to find workable compromises that are good for the fabric of our society. And there will be time again for respectful partisan debate. But the challenge we face today is deeper and more urgent than partisan politics. It is fundamental: Is the United States of America a democracy that stays loyal to a constitution and the rule of law? Or are we loyal to Donald Trump? Are we government by, for, and of the people… or a corrupt kleptocracy that uses public funds to fill the coffers of our president and his billionaire buddies — a broken democracy that enriches the 1% at the expense of the 99?

While we don’t have a lot of tools left, we do have our voices. So many of our representatives in Congress are motivated by one thing: staying in power. And they can bow to pressure from Mar-a-Lago, or they can bow to pressure from pro-democracy voters. So, on June 14, at “No Kings” rallies and marches across our nation, let’s come together to let these “representatives” know that ultimately, the people are still more of a threat to their power than our president’s Versailles.
