Happy Birthday America. Thank you to all of the police officers, first responders, frontline workers and all who have sacrificed to make this country safer and freer.
Someone created a fake account impersonating my account. Twitter has been informed. Do not follow @_captain_turco . That account is not me.
Looking forward to this event tonight and raising money to help victims of violence in Boston.
Inside Voices starts at 8pm tonight! Hear stories of inspiration and purpose from @titojackson, @RobbieForChange, Joe Sierra of @ICWeightlifting, and more - all to support @ViolenceNBoston. There’s still time to register...bostonforall.org/voices

Yes, we're all getting a little stir-crazy. To help with the cabin fever and raise $ for a great cause, I'll be hosting another episode of Inside Voices on Wed. 4/22. Proceeds go to Frontline Foods supporting local biz and frontline health workers.
While we can't be together in the same space, it doesn't mean we can't gather online! We'd love to have you join us on WED APRIL 22ND for a special event inspired by the Boston Marathon – and a chance to support those who are on the frontlines right now. bostonforall.org/events/0422…

So proud to support @CambridgePolice and @northeastern on the great work they are doing with this new police academy. One of those recruits looks very familiar.
A new way to train future police officers. Coming up 7am @boston25 Morning News @boston25gene @NewsHopkins with the academy that's now changing the curriculum to answer today's needs on the street. @CambridgePolice @Northeastern

Today, a local Girl Scout Troop tracked down Sgt. Sousa in the Student Center. They wanted to share their delicious cookies with our officers as a way of saying Thank You. Many thanks to them for making our day!

This Snow/Sleet will impact the PM commute tomorrow, so be #MITprepared by planning accordingly: stay inside if you can, travel cautiously if out. 🌨️🌧️❄️
11 Feb 2019
[Approximate Tue Snow/Sleet Timeline] Not meant to be exact, but this indicates approximate start time of the snow followed by a change to sleet between Noon and 7 pm. High confidence in a significant impact to the Tue PM commute w/ a brief window of 1-2" per hour snowfall rates.

Do not fall for #phishing emails. Always be skeptical if emails ask for personal information or to click on links. x.com/MIT_ISTnews/status/989…

Sigh. Another #phishing email going around @MIT. Ignore and delete! To best protect yourself, run anti-virus software, back up your computer regularly, apply OS/software patches, and enable personal firewalls. Also, contact The IS&T security with questions: security@mit.edu
