i think it’s reasonable to be furious if you live your whole life someplace, get priced out, and shortly hear that some jerkoff is paying ten times what you did to live in your old home. i also think it’s worth remembering that jerkoff did not do that TO you

Everything is gay at this point.

All I see if a lot of great activations space and ADA accessibility that didn’t exist before. Whenever you see updates to space- I need you to ask “can somebody access this now who couldn’t before?”

I want to speak about my disappointment in how certain councillors handled new residents getting involved in the parking minimum discussion on June 4th.

Imagine your city having a Pride Ball at City Hall. Shoutout New York

The national median price for a house has been falling for seven straight months, and in May it fell more than any month since 2017.

That’s an insane amount of variances.

Kids get it- it’s simple. Give us the bike infrastructure we deserve

it is part of why “you’re the racist for calling me racist” is legible. what they’re saying is, “you are the mean one for insulting me and even noticing race to begin with”

a lot (most?) people understand racism as “being a meanie” and if you aren’t a meanie then you can’t be racist, even if you believe in, say, the biological inferiority of entire groups of people based on phenotype

Honestly the fact that Mass Dems has placed voters in the position of choosing between a vile transphobe with no values and a dying man who was too narcissistic to pass the torch is precisely why Democrats lose the plot.

Ilana Glazer and I are both proud Jewish New Yorkers who believe unapologetically that our safety is inextricably bound up with that of our neighbors, including Palestinians. And that AIPAC and the candidates they support aren’t making any of us safer or freer.

Civic leadership is know that, no matter how unique your city is, it can still learn from others. Broad upzoning in Austin, Auckland, & Mpls led to more homes built + stabilized & even reduced housing costs. NYC & Boston can both learn from these examples. NYC is on that path. Will Boston follow?

Hey just a reminder that @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social also reports on things like the Mayor on crossing the picket line, and actually mentions it in the headline www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

I’m gonna become the joker

We could do this in Boston...it would just take leadership that is committed to ending our housing crisis. therealdeal.com/new-york/202...

Precisely why rent control MUST be paired with a very serious rezoning plan!!!!!

I woke up jealous again. @planning.boston.gov

It's important that we understand the root cause of traffic congestion! #Motonormativity Via @davewalker.bsky.social

No the fuck it wasn’t???

one of the reasons i am always on about elite persuasion is that i have seen elite persuasion operate in real time. as toby documents here, the radical anti-trans push in the uk didn't come from some "bottom-up backlash," but was orchestrated and organized primarily at the most elite levels

Trump claims we don't have money for day care, Medicare or Medicaid because we're busy fighting wars abroad. But he somehow found $1.8 BILLION to reward the white supremacists who attacked our government on January 6? That is a policy CHOICE.

I’m at the age where i have a preferred delivery method for my pain relief Gel capsule me DOWN!!!

It’s been two years and radio silence and we don’t have updated zoning.

This counts for non alcoholic beers btw- even without alcohol it can be dehydrating

I am yes but at least you know.

Boston bikers and safe street advocates please join the Ride of Silence the morning of Wednesday May 20. We will ride from Melnea Cass to City Hall for a silent vigil for the 38 peds and bikers killed since Wu took office #VisionZeroBoston Register here: secure.everyaction.com/FXXCaFeCQUGS...

To anybody concerned- Cambridge is kicking Boston’s ass with nightlife right now. Simply because they make it a priority.

Despite the law- the biggest thing it doesn’t change is the disproportionate power that the real estate industry has over renters. To break it down- truly we don’t think of renters as consumers to protect because our laws disproportionately exist to protect owners of property above all else.

👩‍🍼🎉 congrats to my friend and colleague @gigi4district1.bsky.social! Can’t wait to pinch his cheeks 💙

BREAKING: Boston City Council just unanimously passed a resolution condemning dangerous age verification and censorship laws, including the proposals put forward by @massgovernor.bsky.social and the MA House. Backlash to age gating social media is growing! www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-05...

Councillor Coletta Zapata missed today's meeting because she just gave birth to her son, Joaquin Zapata. #Boston

No one ever had to yell “adapt or die” to get me to use any other bit of technology in my life.

The @parks.boston.gov gets the only A in budget hearings for finally talking about revenue stream opportunities

Once again, Congress is failing to do its job. Stop the bombing overseas & start looking out for working families here at home. Pass a War Powers Resolution now. (2/2)

Trump just announced he plans to suspend the federal gas tax. You know what would be a much better solution to skyhigh gas prices? Ending this outrageous, illegal war funded by our taxpayer dollars. (1/2)

What is it about political service that people think it should be unpaid

I do actually and unironically love living in a place where I can go out for a quick shopping trip and oopsie-daisy become part of the throng heading to a baseball game.

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social burns a confederate flag in the rotunda after the House passed 9-0 maps stripping Memphis of representation… #Memphis #JimCrow @MarshaBlackburn @GovBillLee

I’ll never forget the Boston City Council hearing on civilian flaggers – an officer said cops NEED paid details because they’re required to live in Boston for a number of years and don’t want to send their kids to Boston Public Schools. They want cops IN our schools, but not their own kids.

"people live in houses" is a part of the discourse that's frequently missing except insofar as NIMBYs try to deny it

Every waspy suburban Mass town, my own hometown included, has had pricks shut down proposed housing. Glad to see there are still townies out there fighting the good fight

People find politicians' speech alienating but it's not because it's overly caveated, precise, and syntactically complex; it's because it's vague, platitudinous pablum that fails to condemn injustice, fails to chart a path towards a brighter future, and is unaccompanied by concrete action.

If you loved the clip of the Marblehead town meeting guy, here's a great story identifying him and providing some more context. With quotes from @berkie1.bsky.social!

Brookline voters overwhelmingly approve property-tax hike brookline.news/voters-overw...

This is the quintessential North Shore guy. Shlubby looking, thick accent, but a lot smarter than you probably assumed, and willing to tell anyone they're a prick if they're acting like a prick.
