People from Boston are quick to tell you where, not just Boston, unless they can't be bothered.
"Dorchester" "Roxbury" "Southie" etc.

Why then couldn't Boston City Council move to help keep #DailyTable open? Feds cut funds, City could have stepped in, but didn't. This seems performative without funding.

Remember when the Boston Globe ran this supposedly over-the-top front page to attack the idea of Trump ever being president, and now this is just the news every day? We've fallen so, so far because of this man

Many of those 24 million people would not survive to see a better option come to pass if ACA were taken away, so yes, I think it is worth fighting for.

When Carol Stuart was murdered in 1989, Boston was all too willing to believe her husband’s story: A Black man did it.

Within hours, the killing had the city in a panic, and Boston police were tearing through Mission Hill looking for a suspect.

This headline makes you think there’s some debate in Boston about the National Guard being deployed here, but the only people quoted in favor are White House officials and one lady in Dorchester.

WBUR @wbur.org · 18d

The president has not called out Boston as a city in need of a military presence, but Boston has been doing battle with the Trump administration in other ways for months. Most local elected leaders are united against any National Guard presence. But the nation, and some in the city, are split.
