Thank you to everyone who stopped by Elliot Norton Park for our Chinatown and Bay Village Coffee Hour this morning—the first Coffee Hour of the year! It was a beautiful and warm day to connect over coffee and share neighborhood updates.

As we prepare to welcome the world to Boston for the 2026 World Cup, I stopped by Suya joint in Roxbury to learn how our small businesses are preparing to celebrate, and how we can uplift them all summer long.

We just signed a major agreement with @bostonlegacyfc.com detailing the transportation plans and team commitments for Boston’s new White Stadium. I hope you’ll join us to help finalize key details at a community meeting at the Franklin Park Club House on June 11 at 6 p.m.

Boston knows the fight for workers rights is critical. May Day is a celebration of the power of working people, and the effort to advance the rights and well-being of workers everywhere. Thank you to all of the union employees who make sure we can continue to connect residents with dignified work.

During Small Business Month, we’re highlighting the local businesses that shape our neighborhoods. Thank you to Murl’s Kitchen in Dorchester for bringing your best to Boston! Visit boston.gov/smallbusiness to see all the ways we’re celebrating and supporting Boston’s small businesses this May.

👋 So excited to welcome our next @parks.boston.gov Commissioner and first-ever Deputy of Open Space, Diana Fernandez Bibeau, to the team!

We are so excited to welcome our next @parks.boston.gov Commissioner and our first-ever Deputy Chief of Open Space, Diana Fernandez Bibeau! Diana will oversee our 2,200 acres of parkland and the more than 300 public servants who care for it.

Boston is a union city. We’re sending that message loud and clear this May Day all across our city and all the way to Washington D.C. Our union workers work hard, take care of their families and communities, and make this city who we are.

I just signed Boston’s Transfer Fee Home Rule Petition, a proposal to place a 2% fee on real estate transactions over $2 million (with the first $2 million exempt to limit impacts on middle-class homeowners). Transfer Fee revenue would fund the creation and preservation of affordable housing.

Please welcome Boston’s next Fire Commissioner, Rodney Marshall! Born and raised in Boston, and having served our city for decades, Commissioner Marshall represents the very best of our city. We are honored to have him lead the country’s oldest and best fire department.

Isaiah is a Boston student working a paid job supporting his community with Mothers for Justice and Equality. We’re helping more young people find great jobs this summer at boston.gov/futureBOS. Applications are open now.

Joined @pressley.house.gov and @ocasio-cortez.house.gov for a morning with the staff and families of Horizons for Homeless Children. Horizons provides year-round early education to 200+ infants, toddlers, and preschoolers who live in shelters in Greater Boston, free of charge.

Optimistic view on City loss today: the team sheds the defensive mindset and start attacking like goal difference is on the line so we can win and be entertained again

Our budget proposal provides excellent city services for the highest quality of life, invests in our communities, and protects our financial health as a city during tough economic times. With years of careful management and decision-making, we are uniquely positioned in Boston to weather the storm.

City government is where we find a way to get things done and do what matters most. Our proposed budget funds city services for the highest quality of life, delivers significant savings, and protects Boston’s progress in tough economic times.

every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft

We really are entering a golden age of scams

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

The NYT literally rewrote Trump saying “open the fuckin’ strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in hell” as: “Mr. Trump issued a new ultimatum to Iran to end its chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz”

Two years ago, we guaranteed a paid summer job to every young person in Boston who wanted one. Since then more than 10,000 worked paid jobs each year—the most in the history of Boston’s summer jobs program. 2026 summer youth jobs are available now. Find jobs and apply at boston.gov/futurebos!

Getting some Qs on this—why are we canceling it & why no explanation? Both not true. I’ve done a few long interviews on streets vision lately that got cut down to a quote on “consensus” not reflecting full convo. Didn’t get to interview here, but we did send a statement that wasn’t shared in full…

This is misleading. Here's how much the MA Millionaire Tax raised vs the most generous possible assumption of how much combined revenue was lost from millionaire movers.

Whoa whoa whoa. WSJ reports that Trump *personally* pushed the Justice Department to settle its antitrust case with Live Nation. Several sources for my NYT column speculated this was the case. The Journal says it's a fact. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Democrats have offered to pay the salaries — fully fund, no conditions — for TSA. It’s Republicans who keep blocking that.

Even the conservative Wall Street Journal understands the havoc wealth inequality is wreaking on our economy and society. It’s far past time to unrig the system. https://www.wsj.com/finance/billionaires-low-taxes-are-becoming-a-problem-for-the-economy-27a560ca

in hindsight, it feels like this was presaged by their dependence on articles that were paying someone peanuts to scrape some tweets. for every fantastic, substantive Buzzfeed article (and there were many!), you got a hundred “here’s 20 other people’s writing that we didn’t compensate them for”

Last night, I joined with the South Boston Citizens’ Association to celebrate together at their Evacuation Day Banquet. It was a wonderful evening, full of friendship, laughter, and a strong sense of community. Thank you to the SBCA and all of our neighbors across South Boston!

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

The first thing he says when trying to define the American Dream is that he wants to be able to get married, and then the first "threat" to that dream he identifies is schools treating LGBT people as equal. Yeah man, they want to be able to get married to the person they love and everything.

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Well, yes.

NEWS: Judge rules Russ Vought's plan to defund and shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is arbitrary, capricious, and contrary to law. We're honored to represent former Federal Reserve officials in support of this case.

Billionaires are using a loophole to avoid Medicare taxes. Closing it — and eliminating other ways around the tax for wealthy business owners — could raise more than $250 billion over 10 years for the program. (Published Dec. 2024)

Many Washington Post readers have been notified via email that their subscription rates are set to increase. Nestled at the bottom of these emails, you’ll find an asterisk and the following: “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data.”

ICE agents in Oregon testified under oath that they used a custom-made app to identify neighborhoods and people to target & had daily arrest quotas they sought to meet during operations ✏️ @theguardian.com

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies." No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.
