This is a harrowing picture of the psychological impacts of food insecurity & hunger. It’s shameful that the SNAP cuts made millions of Americans feel like this. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/u...

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

“They’ve set a model for how it should be done going forward,” said Joseph Allen, director of the Healthy Buildings program at @hsph.harvard.edu @bostonschools.boston.gov www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/26/s...

Families shouldn’t have to worry about missing food benefits because of the shutdown. The Administration has both the funds and authority to ensure November #SNAP benefits go out on time. www.cbpp.org/blog/the-tru...

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.

Good morning 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.

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

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...

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.
