[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Massachusetts is the best place to live, work, raise a family and start a business. But when you can’t pay rent or buy a house, everything else seems out of reach. 

Today, I signed the Affordable Homes Act — our plan to make our state a place everyone can afford to call home.

[Boston Housing Auth. @BHA_Boston]

Boston Housing Authority is so proud to join @MassGovernor for today’s signing of the Affordable Homes Act — the largest housing bond bill ever, & the most money ($2.2 billion!) for state public housing in a generation!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

On Veterans Day, we honor all the brave men and women who have served our country in uniform. You deserve our thanks and support.

[Chris Horton 何貴森 @heguisen]

The right to protest the government and demand change is a major part of Taiwanese identity - one that transcends political leanings. Nobody here wants war, but likewise, the freedoms that multiple generations struggled for are not up for negotiation.

[Angie Thomas @angiecthomas]

A dream 15 years in the making. NIC BLAKE AND THE REMARKABLES debuted at #1 on the NYT Bestsellers list. Thank you, Lord. And thank you all 😭💜

(Also thank you Alessandra for this Kobe pic 😭)

Gochujang is a jang, a foundational ingredient in Korean cooking, meaning you usually need to add other ingredients to it. (Swirled with brown sugar and butter, it also works surprisingly well in a cookie.)

Dear Grandma, the hardest thing I’ve experienced so far was watching you lose your memory and forget me. So I wrote a book about a girl who tries to save her dad from that same fate because I wish I could’ve saved you.

It’s out today.

Love, your baby Angie

[Angie Thomas @angiecthomas]

What does it mean to "accept" death? We often expect this of our loved ones and patients, and I explore the reasons why in my latest essay for the New York Times, out today!

I'm looking for journalists in Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain & UAE who can work as occasional freelancers to boost NYT's coverage of the rest of the Gulf. DMs open for suggestions. I would love to work with & support talented Khaleeji reporters; please send them my way.

Thank you @amyyqin for such an insightful piece on Asian American young people downplaying their heritage for college admissions. May this generation lean into their Asian-ness 📚🎓❤️

[Amy Qin @amyyqin]

The recent affirmative action lawsuit against Harvard seemed to confirm advice given for years to Asian Americans applying to college: Don’t play chess. Don’t check the box declaring race.

Try not to come across as “too Asian.”

New report from Tufts about misinformation on post-Musk Twitter: "...early signs show the platform is heading in the wrong direction under his leadership — at a particularly inconvenient time for American democracy.”

[Michael “In A Move Likely To Anger China” Mazza @mike_mazza]

Eventually China hawks on the right will figure out—or perhaps they won’t—that hitching their wagons to the MAGA/America First crowd was a terrible mistake.

[Lev Nachman @lnachman32]

Good grant news! I received a three-year long research grant from Taiwan’s National Science and Technology Council to study foreign policy and public opinion! Very excited to dig into some big pertinent questions…

Does anyone else's immigrant parents insist they don't want to worry you, and don't tell you shit until something is seriously wrong 🤦🏻‍♀️

Excellent analysis of the Mass GOP governor candidate Geoff Diehl, whose campaign is *interesting*

[Emma Platoff @emmaplatoff]

Winning as a Trump-backed conservative was never going to be easy in this blue state. But some fellow Republicans say the GOP nominee for governor isn't doing himself any favors with a haphazard, head-scratching campaign strategy.
