This weekend marked a major escalation of his campaign of terror.
New in PN: Trump's invasion
"The Trump administrationโs war on cities just entered a new, more terrifying phase. What stage of fascism is it when the president defies a court order and sends troops into a city anyway? Because as of Sunday, thatโs where weโre at."

Survey says Wu should do more to bring down Bostonโs sky-high rents - The Boston Globe
A poll by a state housing advocacy group found that most Bostonians want the city to move more aggressively to build more and rein in housing costs.
Great to see @abundanthousingma.org advocating that the Mayor use some of her political capital to push for substantive action on zoning reform and other efforts to increase housing supply in Boston.

Reminder that one of the Trump administrationโs first moves was to cancel billions of dollars of federal funding to programs that connected local small farmers directly to customers at food banks and school lunch programs.

One woman dead, another in critical condition after being struck by hit-and-run driver in Jamaica Plain - The Boston Globe
A 77-year-old woman was taken to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead, police said.
Lord have mercy. I pray for safety. Last night, an elder of our #JamaicaPlain community was killed. She was simply walking. 77 years old woman walking home. And a 39yo clings to life. #Boston roads should not be deadly. The driver fled. #bospoli #VisionZero
