Thinking about @MA_Senate telling poor incarcerated people and their families “we can only let you stay connected if we also expand the police state to make sure more families like yours can get torn apart” Astonishingly cruel and racist and everyone involved should be ashamed

Between Sean Ellis, Fred Clay and James Watson, the City of Boston has robbed 101 years of life from black men, their families and their communities. Thats just from three men. How many more years are we going to let them steal from us before we realize the whole system has to go

If you have not started watching #Trial4 please do yourself a favor and start. It shows so much of what is wrong with the criminal legal system. As happy as I am for @SeanKEllis1 I am furious at the way the dismissal was handled and how corrupt the system still is.

Out of all the stories on housing the globe could have ran, and all the coverage of district races it could have done it is WILD to me that they went with this racist garbage. It is specifically because of this lived experience that we need @hicks4district6 on the City Council

The cops, conservative council members and the old white guard in Boston engaged in a campaign to manufacture controversy, conflict and discord and pin it on the Black and Brown people that fought against it and their racism and so many of y’all fell for it hook, line and sinker

Thinking about my mother while she was in prison with young children and how she would have absolutely sold an organ to get home to us sooner. Also thinking about her getting aftercare for that in a place that couldn’t reliably get her meds right. This is disgusting and coercive

I think my least favorite word in policy is “creative” because while some problems do require creative solutions, for so many problems the solutions are straight forward and instead we institute half measures and disguise that as a “creative solution.” Just cancel the damn debt

Hey @MassGovernor you are living in Cambridge, if you actually want to understand how bad the MBTA is why don’t you commute all the way to work in it like the rest of us have to do. See what it’s like to wait 20 minutes for a train. 2 measly stops does not an MBTA rider make

lmao at all these white councilors starting off their speeches about how they understand why POC distrust the police but how THEY believe the police can now be trusted (despite all the POC that testified against this) is just.....well, lets call it what it is - racist.

In the midst of a rental crisis, with an average of 3,400 RAFT applications each week it is unconscionable to me that @MassGovernor would recommend decreasing the maximum RAFT award by $3,000 and making that money available only every 24 months instead of the current 12
