Transcript of 2025 Somerville Media Center Mayoral Debate

I don't know whether it's our soon to be former mayor's fault or not, but the #flufffest this year was a fiasco. It's the 20th anniversary, there should have been some anticipation of larger than usual crowds. Close to 40k total (that's a guess based on last years stated total) squeezed into a few blocks' worth of space #somerville #sompoli #somervilleMA
"Mayor elect not-Ballantyne was unavailable for comment.." #sompoli #somervillema #doonesbury
If you have a mail in ballot and you haven't actually put it in the mail.. go do that #somervillema #sompoli

i’m sitting here watching the Somerville Redevelopment Authority review the City’s Request for Qualifications for the 90 Washington St. project, and it’s fascinating to me to see which questions the members think are worthy of consideration, and which statements we have to accept at face value. #SomPoli

@inliuofjoan @crystalvisits a more “fediverse-native” way to accomplish this might be to add #sompoli or some such hashtag to every post? then folks can filter those posts to avoid being spammed, or open them in a separate column in the advanced web interface?
