A thread explaining for #mapoli the right way to think about shutting down subway service for repairs & replacement: 👇

Chris Friend @friendchristoph

I have been thinking over the last few weeks about how to think about the trade-offs between work done at nights, on weekends, and for month long shutdowns of transit lines.

Boston's progressives aren’t representative of real progressive mvnt, certainly not mvnt born of #RainbowCoalition. Warren had plans for everything while running for Prez, Black/brown haven’t heard peek of plans since.
