You knew this wasn’t right: Trump *and Baker’s MassDPH* are botching the response

March 12, 2020 By Charley on the MTA

I had hoped, maybe somewhere in the denial/bargaining stage of processing the coronavirus testing debacle, that at least our state officials were on top of the situation, and at least giving us reliable information. The evidence before … [Read more...]

Hospital mortality: What we don’t know

September 25, 2007 By Charley on the MTA

Excited to be working with @YWBoston @TeamTram and @dfshand on the rewritten and refiled #ParityonBoards bill alongside @LizForBoston! Passing this bill would be one step closer to equitable representation in our state! #mapoli #pob

Tram T. Nguyen @TeamTram

Such a pleasure getting to know Rep @dfshand today. It's wonderful that the @MAWomensCaucus started a mentoring program for new women legislators; I got to share my insights and answer questions. I especially look forward to working with Rep Shand on our Parity on Boards bill.

Likewise—Boston's BACKROOM plans to revitalize #DowntownBoston is also an effort to BAILOUT rich developer$ stuck with empty office buildings MASKED as an opportunity for #AffordableHousing. Watch what they do, NOT what they say they're going to do!

Don't believe your lying eyes. This gorgeous piece of natural beauty is being poisoned every day and NO ONE with any power is doing a damn thing. 2 million gallons of untreated sewage (💩 and 🧻 directly from your 🚽) was dumped into the Monatiquot River starting last Thurs 1/
