Thanks for adding a measured, calm, and blistering dissent to the insanity going on, my neighbor-mayor...
Sincerely,
A woman from the next city over

i'm watching your appearance on an AP feed at the other end of I-90, ms. mayor.

by republican "logic," if american mayors are criminally responsible for harboring "illegal aliens," then texas is also criminally responsible for allowing them in and not enforcing federal laws.

Boston City Hall plaza, on the anniversary of the Boston massacre, as our mayor pushes back against authoritarianism and tyranny before the US Congress.

You made me proud to be a Bostonian today,
But even more, you reminded me how to be a proud American.
Thank you, Mayor Wu

If I work really hard, is there any chance I’ll be at all like you when I grow up, even though I think I’m already way older than you? You do this city and this nation proud. Brava for your grace, strength, courage, and smarts under pressure in this hearing.

Same same! She is badass with a sweet smile. Disarmed that whackadoodle Gosar, huh? Luff huh!

sarahlaughed.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Badass with a sweet smile, sure — and a head for policy that just won’t quit. That brain coupled with that heart is gonna conquer. Can’t wait to see what those are up to in a decade! Fetch my progressive 🍿, please!

Word. My recent ex-boss (IN Boston) hated her. I tried 2defend, but ahhh.... now i dont hafta. I can just support. Heart's heavy 4a nearly 15 yr job evaporating sketchily, but it IS easier to breathe now. Longer than my marriage, longer than ANY other job. Def grieving the best gig ever.

Cliques are not just highschool, if you worked with folks who needed to still be high schooly... apparently I did. Pfffft
