Okay, Beacon Hill. You know election season is here. Some top concerns we have:

CLIMATE

The threat of AI as it's currently (not) defined. (Energy, water cost. Personal data rights...)

Car dependency. We want the freedom to get places without being forced to insure, own, maintain a giant box on wheels.

Housing. Too little. NO to hedge fund, private equity ownership

A secretive State gov that specifically *helps* ICE kidnap our family, colleagues and neighbors 😡

I know hashtags can seem annoying, but they’re HUGE for finding relevant information and media here. For (a more local) example, #BosPoli and #MAPoli are good for following government happenings, conversation in a part of America. #USPol is for politics more broadly. If you start typing out a hashtag, you’ll probably see which variations are more commonly used - in case you’re trying to reach a larger audience. (Note the “i” in my examples.)
CamelCase is good for accessibility. Hope this helps!

Just me, or is trying to get somewhere in Boston especially hard today? 👎
Like what is going on with the T?

if Boston had any heart as a city there'd be more than this weak "strongly worded letter" to keep a T station open so unhoused folks can stay warm in cold weather

I check this periodically and still don't understand why the "typical annual salary" list isn't in order from least to greatest or viceversa

$135 million - as Franklin Park is hit with even more deforestation 😠

I wonder which capital projects will be dropped or delayed because of this, too.

Boston's White Stadium rebuild will cost taxpayers $135M, nearly 3 times an earlier estimate

The total $325 million project cost will be split between the city and Boston Legacy Football Club, a new professional women’s soccer team, which has agreed to put $190 million into the rebuild, as part of its $252 million long-term commitment.
