Be ready to upload your passport to a government server to watch cat videos. Idiotic bill. #bospoli #mapoli
“The House bill would require social media companies to implement an age verification system to determine whether a current or prospective user on its platform meets the age requirement.”
It's called a gully way and it's so you can put your car charging cord across the sidewalk and not interfere with anything.

Settlements like this are counted as "Execution of Courts" in Boston's budget. If the City paid when the case was settled in October 2024, that means the $12M would be in FY25, costing 6x what was budgeted. #mapoli #bospoli

#Boston City Clerks Office failure to archive stenographic record from public meeting of Boston City Council, failure of historic preservation practices of Boston City Archives. Stenography more accurate than videocaption transcript. Stenography more detailed than the Minutes! #bospoli #mapoli
Included on this list is Lt. Andres Lopez, who is a Lieutenant on SERT and has been accused of excessive force on multiple occasions, including in the assault that led to Shacoby Kenny's death in December. #bospoli #mapoli
Still no accountability or transparency about an independent investigation!
Collusion by Flynn & Murphy; they "missed the deadline" for submission, then tried to barge in anyway. Everything that was submitted on time was discussed and Durkan wasn't having it from them, and good on her for doing so.
Underlying motive? Read the article.

#Boston, we are not talking enough about the giant hole in the 2026 #bospoli budget and how short #PILOT funds AND biz taxes are.
Baby, church food pantries cannot cover this shortfall. #mapoli blocking options is harming us www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/02/m...
Chag Sameach to all of our neighbors celebrating! May this Passover bring you peace, prosperity, and happiness.

Hey #bospoli how did Councilor Murphy receive $10 thousand dollars after leaving BPS? I cant find any Governing Board notes from the Henderson approving a stipend.
Her kindness and presence helped shape the very fabric of our community.
On behalf of East Boston, we extend our deepest condolences to the entire Basile family. She will be deeply missed, and her memory will continue to live on in all of us.
