More lies about busing in Boston

July 3, 2019 By SomervilleTom 23 Comments

The Boston Globe ran another self-serving and dishonest opinion piece about busing today, this one by Jeff Jacoby. It does not deserve to be quoted, and I won't. As is virtually ALWAYS the case in the self-serving whines about busing … [Read more...]

The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming!

May 22, 2019 By SomervilleTom 27 Comments

Yes, the headline is a reference to the memorable 1966 comedy — well worth revisiting or watching for the first time. For the second day in a row, the mainstream media offers hysterical headlines such as "Russian fighter jets, bombers … [Read more...]

Ride home tonight via an inland route, with a stop @sweetgreen. The improvements to cycling infrastructure on Tremont and around the Boston Common and Public Garden vs. what was there a year ago are incredible. Bravo to @BostonBTD + groups like @bostonbikeunion! (1 of 2) #bospoli

When Scott Brown won in January 2010, Alan Khazei told us, “you can’t read too much into it. It’s a special election!”

Bad result but good to keep in mind.

Looks like JEFF TURCO wins the race to replace former House Speaker Robert DeLeo in the 19th Suffolk District. JUAN PABLO JARAMILLO comes in second by just under 300 votes.

Yikes.

Adam Bass@AdamBassWCCS

The idea of a Pro Life Trump supporter winning Suffolk 19 is not out of the ordinary. Winthrop is particular is much more right leaning that Revere. And Revere got severely out voted. When Capobianco had his story, that left you with two progressives. #mapoli

.@CDCgov dir. @RWalensky, once part of MA's #COVID19 advsy board, said

"Now is not the time to relax the critical safeguards that we know can stop the spread of COVID-19 ... not when we are so close."

But @MassGovernor pushes to reopen.

Who is advising Gov. Baker now?
