Does Burlington have a municipal code forbidding the storage of unregistered vehicles on private property? A resident should call code enforcement with this address and ask.

National Development, of Newton, MA, is currently storing ICE’s new $6.5M SUV fleet in ND’s parking garage at 800 District Ave, Burlington, MA. Here is one row.

Too big - won’t fit in a bike lane electrek.co/2026/03/01/i...

On this sunny day, I believe this is the most beautiful window on @bostonu.bsky.social’s campus

Here’s where National Development, of Newton Lower Falls, MA, stores ICE’s new fleet of kidnapmobiles, in the NatDev garage at 800 District Ave., Burlington, MA, near ICE’s illegal detention center.

The head of private security for NatDev was on site & engaged me, claiming I couldn’t prove ice vehicles were ice vehicles (I can), then threatened to tow vehicles of immigrants checking in who are forced to use NatDev lots b/c the ICE lot is overflowing with ICE vehicles.

National Development broke its commitment today to tell ICE to stop parking on its private lots & tow ICE violators, so I’m back to protesting at its Newton Lower Falls HQ.

Thanks to BURN, @newtonindivisible.bsky.social @mass50501.bsky.social & PAC for the pressure!

As expected @universalhub.com

FlockSafety .com, whose license plate camera data gets used by ICE despite Flock denials, shows up in >4K Newton MA police dept emails in 2025-26. Since Newton PD charges $3580 to process them, my next step is to request only the most recent 60 emails, which should take 2 hrs and be free.

Props to @newtonindivisible.bsky.social for calling out corporate ICE complicity. Please spread the word bearingwitnessatice.substack.com/p/free-parki...

Congrats given a little too early: westbound snow mounds still blocking bike lanes as of yesterday afternoon. Let’s finish the job @streets.boston.gov @boston.gov @bostonu.bsky.social - lives are depending on you.

@iso-ne.com returned to “normal” last night (Feb 11, 9pm), but is still under the federal “emergency” free pass to pollute exemption until this Saturday at midnight. www.iso-ne.com/static-asset...

Bike life hack: bike snow bath: 1. Salt & grime buildup 2. Drag bike through snow, both sides 3. Put in sun to melt

@boston.gov @streets.boston.gov fixed your death traps for you

Comm Ave bike lanes being cleared finally. Thanks to @bostonu.bsky.social or @streets.boston.gov @boston.gov & advocacy by @bikeboston.bsky.social

@bostonu.bsky.social @boston.gov @streets.boston.gov do better! dailyfreepress.com/02/09/23/217...

Car culture in NewtonMA frames the climate discourse as trees vs housing, with parking pavement getting a free pass.

Appreciating advocates calling our @streets.boston.gov @boston.gov abdicating responsibility, AND @bostonu.bsky.social bears responsibility too. If it comes down to something as important as public safety, stop pointing fingers; plow it and reduce our PILOT contribution accordingly if need be.

An epic thread on an epic action. TY @thebostonlol.bsky.social for documenting (& shoveling), BUrbanists for agitating, @bikeboston.bsky.social for organizing, @Bos_Cafe_Bikers, BU Cycle Kitchen for muscle, hot cocoa & tunes, & Carmen Rondash for showing up impromptu with the snow blower!

First, context, Commonwealth Av is the backbone of Boston University and around the BU Cycle Kitchen is one of the best protected and heavily used bike lanes in all of Boston. It's protected by curbs and separate from the sidewalk and this is what it looked like yesterday. Unpassable

BREAKING: 4 students at the University of Minnesota are currently chained to Morrill Hall, demanding that their school end all cooperations with ICE and establish itself as a sanctuary campus.

While VIP’s at @boston.gov & @bostonu.bsky.social were looking the other way or pointing fingers, responsible adults - students & working people - delivered on public safety. #CommAve #BikeLanes

I’m ready. I can get more, hit me up!

Team members…hoped BU’s admin would…condemn Segal’s comments, but that wasn’t said in the meeting. “I just wish they had been able to say, this is not an institution that supports racial profiling or racism or xenophobia, and we didn’t get that. At the bare minimum, that should have been expected.”

As proud of our outspoken students standing for human decency as ashamed at cowardly @bostonu.bsky.social higher-ups protecting fascists while begging faculty to hide pride flags & throwing lgbtq community under the bus. Gross. dailyfreepress.com/02/04/23/217...

Just a reminder that using Boston's most used bike lanes for snow storage a week after a snow storm is a choice. We have the technology!

Fun fact: we are in the midst of the first ever “trump free pass to pollute” order (Sec. 202c of Fed Power Act) requested by @iso-ne.com in its nearly 30 years of existence, even though this cold snap is far from unprecedented, & this is the longest M/LCC2 “abnormal condition” status in ISO history.

@bikeboston.bsky.social @universalhub

Join us - many hands make light work. Since @boston.gov & @bostonu.bsky.social won’t keep us safe, we will.

Snow might be in the forecast, but we say - NO ICE!!! Join us for Trump Takedown this Saturday Feb 7th, 12pm in front of the Prudential Center Tesla actionnetwork.org/events/trump... #TrumpTakedown #TeslaTakedown #ICEOutEverywhere

Not only didn’t they clear the bike lanes, they actually mounded snow into the bike lanes from driveways. Now scooters & bikes are taking Comm Ave. Someone’s going to get killed & @boston.gov & @bostonu.bsky.social will have blood on their hands. @mayorwu.boston.gov

As you may know, red light and speed cameras are illegal in Massachusetts, effectively giving us NO enforcement of traffic laws. Because the legislative cycle works in a 2 year unit WE MUST ACT NOW to legalize them or kiss this lifesaving tech goodbye until 2029. JOIN US NEXT WEEK AT THE STATEHOUSE

Join the BCU, @massbike.bsky.social and Transportation For Massachusetts in supporting Automated Enforcement in MA! We need as many voices as possible at the planned Day of Action at the MA Statehouse on Tuesday February 3rd. RSVP here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Typical NewtonMA car supremacy: www.facebook.com/share/p/17kC...?

The same Weymouth power plant (Calpine) that failed on Nov 23, 2025, resulting in a town-wide blackout in Braintree, MA (via the @iso-ne.com grid), just got emergency approval by @departmentofenergy.bsky.social via ISO-NE, to exceed pollution limits through Jan 31. www.iso-ne.com/static-asset...

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

To those American academics out there who have chosen to remain silent/mostly silent about the horror going on in the USA these days at every corner of the federal government, please start speaking out and fighting back.

@bostonu.bsky.social never should’ve caved & betrayed our supposed values in the first place. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/21/n...

A town-wide blackout in Braintree, MA, & blackouts in Mattapan & Milton don't count as loss of reliability? A gas plant connected to Braintree via @iso-ne.com system transmission abruptly dropped from 795 MW to 0. Once again, fossil fuel fails at moments of truth. isonewswire.com/2025/11/24/p...

What’s frustrating to me about the quotes from local & state electeds here is the implication that authority and power trumps law. That is not what the Supremacy Clause says. Why take an oath to support the US Constitution? www.boston.com/news/local-n...

But the SC puts law above power. “The Supremacy Clause makes it …tough…to get anything done. It’s …been a very frustrating ordeal not only for the town but for the Select Board in general. We apparently don’t have much jurisdiction over a building in our town.” www.boston.com/news/local-n...

A stroke of genius by @ofsevit.bsky.social. Well worth pushing @massdot.bsky.social to see beyond the status quo. ariofsevit.com/apb/2026/01/...

The study estimated that the human brain was 0.5% microplastics by weight - around 7 g of tiny plastics, the weight of a plastic spoon.” (Other experts disagree - I hope the other experts are right). www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/04/n...

The Utrecht morning rush hour in the snow did not disappoint!
