Here's my take on @massgovernor.bsky.social and the millionaires tax. Of course, she opened the door because she's getting an earful from business leaders who are strategizing how to undo or mitigate the impact. Recording of interview w/ @bostonglobe.com colleague Josh Miller embedded in story.

Such a great choice to lead TransitMatters forward. Caitlin brings a solid background w/A Better City & significant experience & #mapoli transit advocacy just got bigger & stronger. Looking forward to working with her as we advance our work! cc: @shannonlarson.bsky.social @leungboston.bsky.social

The factory floor is ground zero for Trump's trade war. Writes @shurufu.bsky.social‬: "On a recent afternoon at Matouk’s factory in Fall River, Cairo towels were being embroidered with designs by a machine from Germany... cotton in the towels is from Egypt, where it’s turned into yarn..."

It was far from a foregone conclusion that @harvard.edu would stand up to the demands of Trump. But on Monday, Harvard showed its hand: “The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights." #harvard #handsoff

Developer Tom O'Brien is weighing run for Boston mayor, reports @leungboston.bsky.social Chatter around another candidate entering the race went into overdrive this weekend, after Josh Kraft's rough Ch. 5 interview aired www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/10/m...

“I feel like she prepared like this was a presidential debate, right? She came with one-liners," Globe political reporter Jim Puzzanghera tells @leungboston.bsky.social. Listen to their discussion on Boston Mayor Michelle Wu's congressional hearing on #SayMore:

@wutrain.bsky.social just had the best political week of her life. Still that isn't stopping potential challengers from jumping into the November race. Will Boston developer Tom O'Brien throw his hat in the ring? #bospoli

Good take here by @shurufu.bsky.social about the New England job market ... (Spoiler alert: It's not good.) Layoffs ticked up in all New England states, job openings down in all but one state.

Globe's @leungboston.bsky.social makes the case for Hasbro to move its HQ to Boston: "The scouting trips to narrow down potential headquarters in downtown Boston and the Seaport have been the talk of the town"

COVID-19 five-year anniversary coming up. Share your pandemic memories with @bostonglobe.com. More information below. 👇

“Don’t get me wrong, a drink here or there is not going to cause enormous harm, but there’s an appreciation that any bit of alcohol brings with it some level of harm,” @drscotthadland.bsky.social tells @leungboston.bsky.social in this week’s episode of #SayMore.

What makes Boston business leaders squirm, @leungboston.bsky.social asks? Just ask this question: “Are you supporting Mayor Michelle Wu or backing challenger Josh Kraft?”

With the official kick off Josh Kraft's mayoral run today, I've been watching this story line for months about whether Wu can hang onto Black voters and how many will consider voting for Kraft. #bospoli

"Ultimately, Trump’s aversion to DEI stems from fear — the fear that Black, Latino, and Asian people will surpass everyone else. What the president doesn’t realize is that Making America Great Again doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game. Diversity has always been our greatest strength."

1/2 NWSL commish Jessica Berman tells @leungboston.bsky.social ‘(BOS Nation FC) would not have gotten the team if they didn’t have this plan.’ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/23/b...

Breaking News: Mayor Eric Adams of New York, who has been indicted on corruption charges, is said to be headed to Mar-a-Lago to meet with President-elect Donald Trump.

Hybrid model continues to roil Boston office market but stability could be around the corner. The sector's new mantra: “Survive until ‘25" ... “The fix is in ‘26.” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/16/b...

@wutrain.bsky.social just had a historic pregnancy. For the most part, it was barely news, and that's progress. As @maryannemarsh.bsky.social put it: "She hasn’t missed a beat, very matter of fact, all business.” We've come a long way since the coverage of Jane Swift. #mapoli #bospoli

Michelle Wu, who just delivered her third child, is one of just a few women politicians who have not only led and legislated while raising young kids, but delivered them while in office. “There are barriers,” one fellow mayor-mom told me, “if we allow it.” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/14/m...

Catching up with a few thoughts on everyone else’s thoughts on how I (& presumably all women) should behave re: work/family 🧵 Overall- important & meaningful to see the range of takes here reflecting so many personal, hard decisions made in a system that so often blocks balance & choice.

In his farewell speech, Biden warned about the oligarchy in America. Here's my piece in November warning about the new American oligarchy.

Came home yesterday with plenty of time for baby snuggles all around + treats from Sweet Teez & Sugar bakeries! Best birthday ever 💕

As big property tax bills hit mailboxes of Boston homeowners, who will get blamed in an election year? City's tax challenges won't be going away this year.

ICYMI this piece by @shurufu.bsky.social. Uncertainty reigns over a lot of small businesses with Trump threatening tariffs. They don't have the same buying power as Walmart and other big box retailers.

Boston residents, did you get your new property tax bill? What's your reaction? Is it what you expected? I'm working on a piece for the Boston Globe. Reach out at [email protected].

It's been exactly one year since Claudine Gay resigned as president of Harvard @leungboston.bsky.social writes what matters now is "how Harvard responds to Trump’s attempts to 'reclaim' universities from what he calls 'Marxist maniacs and lunatics.'" www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/02/b...

Love this @bostonglobe.com story about the Mattapan Patriots football and cheer teams on their national championship run. So much heart. They still have a GoFundMe to pay for the trip. Top donors so far: Maura Healey and Josh Kraft.

Here's how I'm sizing up the 2025 Boston mayoral race. @wutrain.bsky.social is running for re-election, but why haven't more challengers jumped in? This is my take on why Josh Kraft is biding his time. #mapoli

Suffolk District Attorney has charged one attorney with forgery, so are there more fake liquor licenses in Boston? Licensing board cracking down with new rules to reduce fraud. #mapoli

And so it begins. The high-stakes scramble from the Back Bay to East Boston for one of the biggest prizes City Hall can bestow: a liquor license worth $600,000 that can make or break the economic livelihoods of restaurants and the neighborhoods they are in.

Thank you Boston City Councilors @clrhenrysantana.bsky.social @enriquepepen.bsky.social and #SharonDurkin for organizing this awesome learning opportunity and for @andrewbrinker.bsky.social for great coverage. The good news I needed this morning #MAYIMBY #MAPoli #BuildMABuild

Something to make you smile and miss New York. The moment 50,000 lights were turned on at the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting. Shot with my iPhone 15 Pro Max. My Sony video is not great in low light. Hope Santa brings me a Sony FX30 🎅📹🙏

The plot thickens on @wutrain.bsky.social showdown with Senate over raising property taxes. Maybe it's not about taxes after all, but ambitious political futures. #mapoli

It’s so important that we tell #mapoli housing success stories! The NIMBY headlines seem to be everywhere, but the reality is much more boring: people know we need more housing, that it’s good for cities and towns and for the state, and they’re making it happen. www.bostonglobe.com/2024/12/03/b...

Official Mass. election results are now posted on the Sec State website! To celebrate, here is an interactive, precinct level map of President and Senate results from the great @richparr79.bsky.social. public.tableau.com/app/profile/...

Thank you @ricardoasnchz.bsky.social ... Two days ago, I had no idea what a starter pack is.

I got a chance to interview my idol, the legendary Connie Chung. She's got a new tell-all memoir. For a legion of Asian American female journalists in the 1990s, it was not uncommon to be greeted by: "Hey, Connie Chung's here!"

Thank you Bluesky for letting us do breaking news again 🥺

Here's my video pitch on why give to @nefac.bsky.social on #GivingTuesday.

This #GivingTuesday make a donation to Globe Santa. Globe Santa delivers toys to close to 30,000 local children each holiday season. 🎁 Over 1 million families and more than 3 million children have been served by Globe Santa since it launched in 1956. payment.bostonglobe.com/globe-santa-...

I'm on the board of @nefac.bsky.social. More than ever do we need to fortify the #FirstAmendment. We're doing a #GivingTuesday pledge drive today and the first $6,000 in donations will be matched. #opengov

Blue sky for Bluesky #provincetown

You may not agree with @wutrain.bsky.social on property taxes, but she's spot on here. The issue has gotten plenty of air time, kind of late to air grievances now. I'm wondering how much of this is political theater from some senators. 🤔

Shirley Leung asks a good question: does Boston need TWO pro soccer venues? Seems a little silly to build both at about the same time

Celebrity chef Barbara Lynch is putting hundreds of her possessions up for sale, just weeks after the city of Boston sued her for nearly $1.7 million in unpaid personal property taxes.

I swore I would never create another social media account. Oops, I did it again. Sharing today's @bostonglobe.com column writing about what so many people in town have been have been thinking. Now in hands of @mayorwu.boston.gov, @nerevolution.bsky.social, BOS Nation FC.
