If you've suddenly noticed getting to your destination quicker lately, it's not just you: data show the @MBTA has turned a real corner. BUT, watchdogs are worried a looming budget gap could wipe away hard-earned gains. From me and @samdrysdale5: statehousenews.com/news/tran…

We couldn’t have asked for a more powerful discussion on social media, mental health, and how all of it affects our kids. A huge thank you to our incredible speakers @stuartablon, @JillMWalsh, and @JulieScelfo for sharing their expertise with us! It was a wonderful night.

Hello Everyone, I don’t want people to be sad about my brother. I want them to remember him for the genuine joy and love he brought to people’s lives. He truly cared about people. He called, wrote, and emailed thousands of people throughout his career to offer help. 1/2

.@dshapMENTOR said it best! The team at the @YMCA_Boston has always been there to wrap their arms around families who need help. It was great to visit and meet some of the folks building a new life in Massachusetts with the help of the Y.

Super grateful to the team at the @YMCA_Boston and all the providers who make families feel safe and welcome. Parents can take classes and access services while kids have space to learn and play. So many people have offered a helping hand to families in need because that’s what we do in Massachusetts!

Wonderful to have @MassLtGov @KimDriscollMA visit with our client @YMCA_Boston today. The YMCA and so many community partners are helping new arrivals to Boston not only feel safe, but also find a sense of community.

This may be one of the most tone deaf statements I’ve ever seen. Whether the number of attendees was below capacity or not, the bottom line is that the situation near the red stage was NOT SAFE. If there had been any kind of emergency it would have been a tragedy.
