Hochul’s move here is profoundly racist and dehumanizing. Defining Palestinian studies as fundamentally antisemitic means defining Palestinians as something to be erased. It is genocidal. This is also an unacceptable attack on academic freedom. The governor should have no say in faculty hiring.

This should be a felony regardless of consent, because it is impossible to meaningfully give consent while under the direct coercive power of a police officer who has you in custody.

Thank you to the @cambridgeday.bsky.social for covering the mayor's seemingly intentional slow-rolling of civilian oversight of police & an alternative emergency response program. I've especially been pushing on the latter for years & think the former could have been implemented years ago.

1. This is working. 2. That these are men who purport to be allies to women is scary. The fear of experiencing consequences is enough for them to decide that hurting women is justified. 3. Impressive reporting. Crisis PR firm worked hard to cover their tracks. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/21/b...

I love Charles street but the use of land is an abomination. Thousands of pedestrians crammed onto tiny sidewalks, no bike infrastructure, and FIVE lanes dedicated to cars. INSANE. Please burn some political capital to fix @mayorwu.boston.gov @jfh01.bsky.social 🙏🙏

Today’s very cynical @bostonglobe.com editorial eyeroll at the initial BPS-only pilot phase of our Boston Family Days free museum program overlooks the operational work to launch & sustainably run a program of this scale. Sharing a bit of the reality behind how it works: 🧵

This is exactly how a bike lane network should be conceptualized…in the same design language and typology of that city’s public transportation network and with connectivity to subways, busses, LRT etc. Once again, Paris is leading the way.

Awful, preventable, and tragic. Sending thoughts to their family. No one should die when crossing the street, especially not while in a crosswalk.

Cambridge’s “Broadway Safety Improvement Project” will result in a protected bike lane in both directions and 75% less car storage. This is a huge win for those of us who believe in safety, climate justice, and walkable cities. Cars may have ruined cities, but we have the power to take them back!

How will the removal of protected bicycle lanes affect you? Here is an account by a #Toronto parent of a child with special needs. (I got a personal permission to share this, she asked for me to remove her name just in case.) #BikeTO

the fact that the first openly trans member of congress is a zionist who immediately capitulated to fascists on the issue of her basic rights like this really sums up the current state of american politics incredibly well i think. just endlessly depressing stuff

Never forgot the Democrats sliced child care out of the big infrastructure bill and then never revisited it. Imagine if Biden had made sure women got child care. What would have happened if they really had done it, instead of waving in that direction.

During our housing conversation in Cambridge, some are saying that housing isn't a moral issue. I beg to differ. It is a moral issue. Are we going to live up to our stated values, or are we not? Don't put an "Everyone is welcome" sign in your yard and then oppose housing development.

The idea that you must coexist with and listen to people who are cruel, unjust, and just plain unpleasant to be around is the logic of abusers, by the way

Talk to your kids about homelessness, please. Teach them and remind them that unhoused people are our neighbors; that they belong with us. This is just devastating. www.ktvu.com/news/14-year...

1/3 of Boston & Cambridge households are car-free—among the highest rates for major US cities Those households are concentrated near T stations, especially downtown, along the Heath St. and Boston College branches of the Green Line, and in parts of Cambridge serviced by the Red Line
