Hey, we opened a new T station

September 3, 2014 By drikeo Leave a Comment

I think Team Blue hasn't quite made enough noise about the new T station in Assembly Square. It's fairly huge deal. The last time the state opened a new MBTA rail station it was 1987 and Mike Dukakis was the governor. It's not a coincidence … [Read more...]

Marty Walsh – a union man

November 16, 2013 By tcook99 6 Comments

Public sector unions are the destroying cities and schools. We live in an age of driverless cars and yet the unions demand we have drivers on the MBTA subways. Howie Carr had a good piece this week discussing retirement age at 50 at the … [Read more...]

I've been talking about matters contributing to this for months! Needless to say—I was neither surprised by #MassBlackKilling nor lamestream press coverage. I took a mental layoff. But I'm Black TOMORROW when we'll—UNPACK why it happened & it will only intensify! #BOSpoli #MApoli

Notorious VOG@NotoriousVOG

FYI

Attack on Black people ISN’T just result of white SUPREMACIST & @GOP extremism. Also result of @TheDemocrats half-assed support of Black rights & willingness of white PROGRESSIVE to scapegoat POC for political expediency.

They will WORSEN as culture wars intensify!

Some women on the political right believe we are feuding. So, they watch what I say & do to see if there is anything they can point to as a swipe against them. I am not oblique. I am blunt. They are not interesting. They are colorless.
Self-absorption is a real thing. 🤨#mapoli

#Schoolmealsforall has enabled us to serve fresh, local produce to ALL of our students.
Let's take this off families 'plates'.
Universal meals increases the community feel of the lunch room, free of judgement and shame. #FeedKidsMA #mapoli

Project Bread@projectbread

#SchoolMealsforAll has benefits that extend far beyond the lunch table. Research shows when a child is well-fed, their mental & physical well-being improves. Additionally, by making meal access universal, we create a more equitable and just educational environment. #FeedKidsMA https://twitter.com/McGovernMA/status/1526198193565868034
