If there was any doubt how much of a right-wing kook Dean Tran has become, note that “Senior Advisor to the campaign Rafaello Carone” is a Madison Cawthorn guy. #mapoli #ma3

Look at Dean Tran’s narcissistic whopper erasing the historic Dan Koh, Bopha Malone, and Beej Das campaigns in 2018.

“Apparently you can only achieve recognition as an Asian-Amerian if you’re a Republican.” Isn’t that right @massgop @JimLyonsMA ? #mapoli #ma3

Great article from @ditikohli_ at @BostonGlobe on Boston's historic lack of nightlife and where it's heading now. Good to see this touching on the ability of the City to attract talent and bring destinations to different neighborhoods. #mapoli #bospoli

"After a brief chase"

So, no 60 bullets to the back?!🙄🤦🏾‍♂️ Black folks run a stop sign and cops somehow can NEVER manage to capture POC alive. But when white folks massacre countless, they always somehow make it into custody safe and sound. Funny how that works! #BOSpoli #MApoli

BREAKING: 15 minutes ago, Robert Crimo was spotted by police. He fled from police. After a brief chase, he was stopped and arrested, police say. @cbschicago
