For the billionth time, wearing a mask isn’t about protecting yourself, it’s about protecting others. Students clearly see that & the impact COVID’s had in their community. It’s a shame some adults still can’t.

Ugh, not again🙄 Do I spy BPD Capt “Pepper Jack” Danilecki macing demonstrators on the ground ~40 sec in? Whatever one thinks about protestors, maybe a snowflake this easily triggered by rude words about cops isn’t the best guy to have running crowd control

Boston is the only municipality in MA (and one of a handful in US) where citizens have been stripped of their right to vote for their representatives on School Committee. Boston is 82d largest school district in US. Almost all of the top 100 districts have elected SC. 1/
#bospoli
On this critical day in US history, we all feel deeply to our core that voting is the single most important action we can take to generate change. In 1991, Boston voters were stripped of the right to vote for BSC.
In 2021, we're going to fix that.

OK buddy, let’s go. First, nobody has to take the word of a testing company to know that use of ISEE for Exam School admissions produces racially inequitable results. ERB letter cited years of research presented to your boss

& School Committee he controls. 1/

Love to see activists (gleefully!) take the word of a private test seller over public school leaders working on change.

He’s an actor, he’s been pulling these stunts for several days now, yet media outlets keep interviewing him as random bystander at UCLA. It’s not hard to google. They just don’t want to.

Good for teacher who called out Chiar
@mtloconto
's incessant, disrespectful eye-rolling & face-making during public testimony at school committee. (TBF, he doesn't do it all the time—he spends good chunk of time checking his phone too.)

Wait, so now
@Marty_walsh
is meeting w/Frank Mazzaglia of Grafton, MA to discuss fate of Christopher Columbus statue? What happened to decision being made by North End residents? I guess outside agitators are OK sometimes? Why don’t we just vote? What are you afraid of?
#bospoli
Italian American groups cancel Sunday's scheduled rally to restore Columbus statue in North End; Will meet with Mayor Walsh instead

@RadioBoston
avoids issue of changing Exam School admissions bc it’s “3rd rail issue.” Mayor, I’ve been elected co-chair of the Boston Latin School Parent Council for past 3yrs. I don’t avoid equitable access to Exam Schools as 3rd rail, why do you?

Sec of State Bill Galvin’s picked MA primary date for the past 27yrs. Statute sets date range, but there’s no doubt that day after Labor Day is worst possible option, depressing turnout & even GA has same day registration! Vote

for long-needed change.

I know Murphy’s got zero qualifications for SJC Clerk seat, but could someone at least text her a job description? How does any of this relate SJC Clerk role? If she wants to represent “working families (😉)” run for City Council, SJC Clerk is a skilled administrator. 1/

@sineadrousse
Boston is the only city in Massachusetts & one of the few cities in the country without an elected school committee.
#BPS
School Committee is appointed & controlled by mayor. They never vote against his wishes—one recently abstained & was not reappointed.

AND at visit 2 of 6, Lynch staffer began by asking what we wanted the congressman to do. Exasperated, a woman said “Anything!” We then spent 20m talking to him about specific policy recommendations. What was on his notepad when he got up?

MAYORAL PASSIVE-VOICE TO EINGLISH TRANSLATION:
BPS shares info with BPD who shares info with ICE. ICE then does something with that info. We may do some type of investigation. Maybe not. Bye.

Boston’s only town in MA whose right to vote was stolen & that’s:
“better for the city & ultimately no less democratic that an elected school committee would be”?
OK Globe🙄
Let’s 🗑this paternalistic scam & ensure BallotQ wins in Nov—Who’s in?
