Mayor Wu must ask Mike Brohel to resign. He has been unprofessional and misleading. His actions have directly impacted the safety of Boston's streets.

Okay Massachusetts, are you choosing Democrat or Republican for the primary? (I’m reminded as my card to request mail in ballot just arrived.)

Greater Boston should note that we vote for our next district attorney (Suffolk county) among other things this fall.

Has Maura Healey responded to the MassHousing corruption case, or is it her work? How will taxpayers recoup the lost money?

“In this day and age, even if you don’t like AI, you don’t have an option FOR NOW to opt out of it.”

I fixed the quote.

Anyone been following B. Globe more closely? Today’s article on “AI” continues to frame the thing as inevitable. As if Gen Z is mostly concerned about it for moral reasons. But the concern is EXISTENTIAL.

So yeah this piece hasn’t done anything to shift my perspective on the Globe. It’s an out-of-touch paper serving corporate interests. Shame

At least 16 officers have left their jobs recently, following a revelation that they were using license plate readers like Flock to stalk ex-partners or romantic interests. Shocking.

Noting that DeFlock can be .org or .me since both direct you here. Have people organized a DeFlock Boston yet? I believe some neighbors have been fighting Flock.

Boston.
Massachusetts.
What do we make of Mayor Wu shutting down the office of green infrastructure? While there is certainly work to do in the private sector, I feel disappointed considering she looks to have also pumped the brakes on common sense transportation work. (And I’ve heard from multiple sources that this is true.)

One of my biggest wishes for New England this year is more bollards. A driver needs to know that any dangerous or illegal behavior could easily fuck them up. Replace random flex posts with a real bollard. Let’s thoughtfully work to free ourselves from car dependency 🌅

Urban highways are today’s indoor smoking.

Both poison the public. Both have been defended as freedom.

We need people who can remember and dream of something different. I look forward to the day that I-93 is closed to downtown Boston. Thru traffic only.

My #Boston District City Councilor, #LizBreadon, whom I am quite fond of, sends out a newsletter every couple of weeks. It's an important community service, and it's got good content in it, but it is MUCH TOO LONG.
The most recent newsletter had around 100 items, most which were flyer-size graphic images.
73% of the item images were duplicates of images in the previous newsletter. Yes, I checked, by hand, one by one. What can I say, I was curious.

I was so happy to hear that #MichelleWu would be running on the ballot unopposed in November that I let out a great big Wu-hoo!
I'm very much in favor of incumbents defending their positions against worthy challengers, but (a) Wu already did that in the preliminary election and (b) IMO there were no worthy challengers this year. I'd rather see her running unopposed then running against someone shitty.

Let’s go, Boston! “Free speech” has never been unlimited, and we have a genuine, urgent crisis on our hands (feel it or not). Massachusetts, check it out! I hope we won’t let denial destroy us. The option is here.
