This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

This is what crossings in front of schools should look like. Raised crossing, short crossing distance, 20mph speed limit, close street trees for calming, protected bike lane, two-way road narrows to a pinch point / cars have to slow down and take turns.

Phones are too big these days. How am I supposed to safely text and drive when it takes two hands to use my phone?

absolutely repugnant, gutfeld completely dismisses the assassination of melissa hortman, calls it a "bull shit" example of political violence

Tens of millions of voters have had their information run through the tool — a striking portion of the U.S. public, considering little has been made public about the tool's accuracy or data security.

This is so good! A strong belief of mine is that we need widespread upzoning, so that new development is dispersed and done overtime instead of quick and concentrated in one area Also development shouldn’t be limited to loud busy streets, but throughout neighborhoods

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

“Kraft opted to drop out and instead donate $3 million he may have spent on his campaign to local organizations fighting drug addiction and homelessness.” That’s cool he’s donating it

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

I’m due for a new phone and am going to miss the size of my iPhone 12 mini, which notably weighs less than the new “iPhone Air”

More greenwashing solar canopies over surface parking here in Cambridge (near Alewife T), one of the most expensive cities in the country. Solar structures over it increases the switching costs to build, and parking enables car trips. PV panels belong on buildings, parking belongs under buildings.

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

A real leader would remind us that the vast majority Americans do not hate each other. That what unites us is greater than what divides us. That violence is not a solution. But Trump is going to use this as an opportunity to suppress critics who had nothing to do with this crime and condemn it.

Still-unofficial precinct results from Tuesday's election in Boston show: • Michelle Wu won all 22 wards. • Of the city's 272 precincts, Josh Kraft won 9, including 2 in Dorchester (16-12 and 16-9) and 7 in South Boston • Wu-Kraft tied (201-201) in one Dot precinct (16-10). More at www.dotnews.com

For all the time and resources Kraft spent in West Roxbury railing against the Centre Street bike lanes and road diet, he lost every single precinct there to Mayor Wu. Primarily a credit to her message and organization. And that his focus on those was overplayed and the bikelash didn’t materialize.

Absolutely crazy!!

2021: 16-2: Wu 47-52 AEG 16-5: Wu 46-55 AEG 2025: 16-2: Wu 69-31 Kraft 16-5: Wu 63-27 Kraft These are HUGE swings Stick a fork in Josh, he's cooked.

Menino won 71% in 1997 running unopposed and 76% in 2001. Michelle has a chance to get close to that in the final round based on numbers in the prelim.

“I think it's wrong - the mischaracterization of Josh, too, isn't fair. You know, he's his own person. And I think hopefully in the next six weeks, they can stick to the issues. People in Boston don't want to know about the other stuff. Let's stick to the issues." - Marty Walsh

Ipswich, Massachusetts threw away $14.5 million in state funding and a decade of planning because they didn't want to sacrifice 20 parking spots for bike lanes.

the results so far on congestion pricing in new york have been so outrageously good that opposition to it works as a convenient identifier of unserious buffoons www.reuters.com/world/us/new...

Really tired of listening to right-wing politicians claim bike lanes are bougie infrastructure sought by rich white people when street calming will disproportionately benefit poor people of color who don't have cars! www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/09/m...

The Supreme Court just ruled this meme is constitutional.

For those who doubted where this was headed, this is what dictatorship looks like — declaring war against an American city. It is not a joke. We must all stand against this lawless regime.

White Christian Taliban shit right here. Time to stop tiptoeing around it. These people are fanatics pursuing a Holy War. It’s a critical piece of the threat assessment that should inform our strategies. (Psst. They’re not just going to hand back power.)

Of all the scammy, weird things the Josh Kraft campaign has done this feels uniquely bad and actually illegal. The FTC requires that sponsored posts be labeled #ad or #sponsored. For months, Kraft paid Boston influencers thousands of dollars for Instagram posts with no disclosure. #mapoli #bospoli

I for one am shocked the guy who had a Nazi battleship as his Zoom background also has horrible opinions about women & gay people www.cnn.com/2025/09/05/p...

This past week, Councilor Flynn blocked a vote on a resolution that would’ve sent a unified message from City Council to Trump, supporting Mayor Wu. Today, for the first time I can recall, Flynn signals some resistance: opposition to a National Guard deployment. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/31/m...

Since Boston is sounding the “don’t drive a truck on Storrow” sirens this week, time to post this map again, now with a timeline. As far as I can tell, either the messaging works or the idea of students smashing U-Hauls into overpasses is largely a myth. I couldn’t find any real spike in September.

I visited the RMV recently to renew my license, and just noticed they put my *street* as BOSTON 🤦‍♂️ No silly, that's the city. I literally provided you with 2 documents proving my address

Hadn't been on TruthSocial for a while. Didn't realize it's a website wholly subsidized by scamming seniors with Ivermectin ads, which Trump fans apparently still think cures all known illnesses.

Trump: "The line is that I'm a dictator, but I stop crime. So a lot of people say, 'You know, if that's the case, I'd rather have a dictator.'"
