Thank you to my congresswoman

for being constant advocates for not only a pause on repayments but cancellation.
Today, my Administration is extending the pause on federal student loan repayments for an additional 90 days — through May 1, 2022 — as we manage the ongoing pandemic and further strengthen our economic recovery.
Instead of housing 18 year olds in isolation, forcing them to pay nearly 40k for a degree that potentially wont be paid off until they're 50, we should fine the institutions for each infraction since they sought to have in person learning so bad.
Northeastern University has dismissed 11 first-year students after they were caught violating social distancing rules, the school announced Friday. Their $36,500 tuition for the semester will not be refunded.
Mayor
@marty_walsh
said Boston's goal is to become a more equitable city. Therefore with two women of color running for a seat never held by a woman or a poc, he now has the ability to fulfill part of his goal and not run for re-election.

Bill Galvin credits Wu’s campaign for driving higher turnout rates in Allston-Brighton than South Boston.
“We don’t beat South Boston in municipal elections,” he said. “That’s really unusual.”

The most beautiful sight I've ever seen!
Happy to introduce Zayne Leerianti Nave to the world after 31 long hours of labor. Naj and Zayne are fine, everyone is just chilling in a new room. Zayne came in at 6lbs 11oz and is an awesome Mother's Day gift.
Shout-out to
@TamerforBoston
for this piece of lit that casts her black opponent's skin tone in a darker shade for "dramatic effect". We've seen this movie before.

It's been a few days but I'd like to thank Phoebe Bridges for bringing so many of my white friends in Boston joy this past weekend. I have no idea whom Phoebe is but y'all joy seemed exhilarating.
Damn so my city councilor really ain't going to say anything about our police union being led by a child rapist for years? Posting about blue bikes?

Got this call this am that my mother Rosemary Carr had passed away. She'd been battling pancreatic cancer the last year and a half. She was 53.
There is no prep time for this kind of loss even if you know it's coming.
Just for transparency sake: We have received 10,000+ emails in relations to defunding/reforming BPD, 300 emails in support of banning sex with someone in custody, 300 emails to ban facial recognition technology.

renters... We are now
#Allston
homeowners! We celebrated by unscrewing a former landlords sign inside our condo.
Let's just strip this to it's most simplistic form...a police department for a major city and the union that protects it covered up molestation and made the molester the face of their organization after they knew about the crimes he'd committed.

Has the Patrolman Association reached out and apologized to every young person impacted by their former presidents behavior yet? Also when will you all make a statement disavowing him? A lot of energy on this minor incident...
UPDATE: Good news. Representatives from
@AceHardware
have reached out and spoken to the officer involved in the earlier incident. During the conversation, an apology was offered and graciously accepted by the officer with both parties agreeing that mutual respect benefits us all.
We must protect our students at the Jackson Mann in
#AllstonBrighton
and throughout all of Boston. If the plan is to open a school there needs to be a full and thorough Covid reopening plan. You cant tell us a school so dilapidated it needs to be demolished is also okay to reopen
The city shouldn't need a fund to address racial equity. Government isn't a foundation. I believe the funds should come from its....budget. That's generally how a city budget works.
#Bospoli
And every hate group in attendance got a platform on the streets of our city. Our leadership failed this city today. There's no middle ground with this. 2/2
Hey everyone:
With budget season for the Boston City Council approaching, now is the time to outline areas you'd like your district Councilor and At Large Councilor to advocate for. Let me briefly explain how it basically works! THREAD
#bospoli

@RepKevinHonan
ignored hundreds of emails to even meet with his constituents to discuss transparency OVER 3 MONTHS. When he made his vote today it was not informed by community input because he completely ignored it. That's absolutely unacceptable.
#Mapoli
If my child ever ran for office and the first thing that came out his mouth to describe himself and why you should vote for him is "he is born and raised in this city/neighborhood", I'll vote and actively campaign for his opponent. Save that nativist crap. Run on your values.
The racist heat one can draw just for being black, unapologetic and completely right is breathtaking sometimes. So happy I spent the first 22 years of my life in a real red state to harden me against the ignorant foolishness thrown my way on a nearly daily basis.
Heads up folks, as you head to the mailbox or ballot box consider not voting for any incumbents you've never seen or you don't care much for who are running unopposed. A nonvote or a write in is fine. An actual vote shows support. Make them earn it. Especially local
#mapoli
Let's be real... If Mariano said that crap in Mattapan

would've stared him down and he would've apologized at that very moment. There wouldn't have been no speech until it happened.

If y'all fully fund them again in a couple months, including their proposed budget increase, this is basically toilet paper. Not one new dollar should be approved until an investigation is completed and all who knew and hid the information are brought to real justice.

Progressive electeds and groups went in full force to support a 34 year incumbent against a progressive challenger because y'all said he was needed more than ever as the chair of housing. He won but now he's not and we have a non Boston chair.

The fence-sitting voters in the Boston mayoral election make predicting Tuesday’s outcome difficult, and they may be key in deciding who moves on. Only two of the mayoral candidates can advance to the Nov. 2 general election.
