BOSTON!!!

BOSTON

Incredible day celebrating the opening of the new @bostonschools.boston.gov Carter School—an international model of what it looks like to design with and for our kids with complex disabilities & medical needs.

2 million adults in Massachusetts experience hunger every year, but luckily they won’t realize it if they don’t read it in a USDA-ERS report

Good morning Boston

Boston

“Boston is winning” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/09/b...

It’s time to vote and show the world: Boston is not for sale, and we’ll keep fighting for our families and our future.

May we all go through our days with the confidence of the kids at the Trotter Elementary School ✨ @bostonschools.boston.gov

In one of the debates in New York mayor's race, Mamdani (and Lander) both praised Boston Mayor Michelle Wu. She has been one of the most passionate voices defending cities and urban life as Trump trashes them. And she's stayed popular in way Brandon Johnson has not. newrepublic.com/article/1997...

Worth a re-read: www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2019...

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

We just broke ground (wall!) to start construction at Boston’s newest office-to-residential housing conversion! This project will create 77 new homes—including 15 income-restricted units—in Fort Point.

Boston doesn’t need a Blue Dog Democrat mayor in the MAGA era

The City of Boston has issued its first FOIA request of ICE. Under the Freedom of Information Act, we are requesting records related to enforcement actions within our city and information on certain ICE policies.

Finance Super Bowl! This AAA ratings helps Boston continue to fund close to 200 capital projects: renovations at schools, parks, & playgrounds, along with new libraries, community centers, and pools, and energy improvement and infrastructure projects. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/14/b...

A big day for BPS and Madison Park! We signed a new Project Labor Agreement with the Greater Boston Building Trades Unions and the North Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters that delivers union jobs, child care benefits, & pathways to trades careers for Black & brown young people.

This Republican proposal to decimate SNAP will make groceries more expensive for more than 100,000 Bostonians. It’s an unacceptable attack on working families.

This bill is a disaster for children. It walks away from a 50-year commitment to ensure that poor children in rural Alabama and New York City all have access to the food assistance they need to grow and thrive.

All of a sudden it's a tunnel of green

Since 2022, @bostonschools.boston.gov transportation has: ⭐ Reformed contracts ⭐ Eliminated staffing shortages ⭐ Modernized tech ⭐ Aligned bell times ⭐ Improved athletics transpo (0 missed trips since the start of Feb) It's all paying off: BPS is now at 94% OTP www.bostonherald.com/2025/04/17/b...

A beautiful sight.

This campaign is launched! More than 1000 people ready to win 4 more years of Mayor @wutrain.bsky.social and 4 more years of fearless progress for Boston. #MichelleForBoston

Great turnout in Boston City Hall Plaza

people being in the streets means something. never let your cynicism convince you otherwise.

“I will not ever stop fighting for our city kids to have everything that teams anywhere else in the city, in the state, or across the country have.” — @mayorwu.boston.gov

Yesterday—in a brief filed in the U.S. Supreme Court—we joined 30 local governments & officials in opposing the Trump Administration’s indiscriminate firings of probationary federal workers. /1

After decades of advocacy, it's so exciting to see this finally moving forward under @mayorwu.boston.gov's leadership––safer construction sites, smoother traffic, more state-of-good-repair work on Boston roads, & good jobs open to civilians for the very 1st time. www.nbcboston.com/news/local/c...

Boston is going all out for our union sister Rumeysa Ozturk who was snatched off the streets by ICE in our community last week. Massachusetts unions say: FREE RUMEYSA, FREE THEM ALL! #4the1st 3/

Today, @jenniferdines.bsky.social writes about how her high school students are targets in Trump’s cruel deportation spree. It can’t be allowed to continue. www.currentaffairs.org/news/teachin...

Certain opinion columnists may have given up on Boston Public Schools, but we never will. Under @mayorwu.boston.gov and Superintendent Skipper's leadership, @bostonschools.boston.gov is making clear, unequivocal progress. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/28/o...

Whose city? www.wcvb.com/article/big-...

“What about the kids? Ask the kids what they want. No one asked the kids what they want, except the mayor.” — @bostonschools.boston.gov’s Coach H 🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏻

Here it is: your moment of zen

Without a strong Department of Education, kids from working class families will be left behind, unable to access the education they need to succeed. We stand with our affiliated unions as they fight this illegal order.

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

Guess who tuned in for our State of the City last night…

BPS transports 22,000 students to 200+ schools each day. It's a complex system: 640 buses completing 1,500 runs in the AM and 1,500 in the PM, covering ~11k bus stops. Since investing in new tech & reforming its routing last fall, BPS is now running at 94% on-time. www.cbsnews.com/boston/video...

Since the launch of the program, Madison Park's graduation rate has risen and is now on par with the city average, while enrollment is up 7.5 percent since 2021. The school has 20 vocational programs ranging from carpentry and automotive technology to culinary arts and TV broadcasting.

Madison Park is a gem within @bostonschools.boston.gov. Enrollment is up, attendance is up, and students are participating in industry-aligned coops at record numbers. Glad to see Madison & its incredible students get the recognition they deserve. www.dotnews.com/2025/madison...

She's got me so amped up I'm about to drive down to Boston and push a few Teslas in the harbor

She nursed her baby and then went to war for her city. There is simply no one doing it like Michelle does it. No one.

Wu: If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms. Stop cutting medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our city safe.

Shame on Tom Homan for lying about the City of Boston.
