“In addition, my family’s business is not located in Boston, doesn’t do any business with the city of Boston, nor does it have any real estate assets in the city.”

No pushback on this blatant FALSEHOOD?

The City of Boston is wrangling w/the Krafts re. Everett stadium mitigation and $$$ for FIFA!

Russo’s was the best.

Is this available at Whole Foods? I love stumbling on stuff at Haymarket that’s hard to find.

There’s a pattern here, with rushed takedowns based on leaked police reports. 👇🏼

If I worked at City Hall, I’d hope to have a District Councilor that would provide me the grace of an internal review and fair hearing.

Not one that would crucify me in the Herald based on an incomplete, improperly-sourced police report. Employees shouldn’t be fodder for scoring political points.

My Globe comment.

Jost Kraft's "relaunch" in Southie today is on brand. Most flatfooted campaign in MAGA-adjacent history.

Thank you!!!!!! 🔥

Mislabeled for sure. Those are kalettes. Same species, different cultivar. (The species includes Brussels sprouts, cabbage, etc. all as cultivars)

Agreed

Southie biker here and couldn’t agree more w Steve.

With the waterfront and beaches this area naturally attracts bikers but then sets them up for injury

Serious cycle accident reported in South Boston 👇🏼, possibly the most dangerous n’hood in the entire city thanks to high level resistance to cycle lanes. “I support alternate routes, but have never identified one” will lead to serious 🚴🏽‍♀️ injuries and fatalities. Shameful.

Accountability matters.

Do you mean, did I put that sign there? No, those were mounted around 10 years ago by "Friends of Fort Point Channel." The Crab is sited outside of any formal boundary of Fort Point that I've ever seen, but The Crab is welcome anywhere.

BREAKING: Per OCPF, Josh Kraft has received contributions of $100 or less from only 117 Boston residents.

That's $6,705 out of over $3 million raised (0.2%).

Six months into the campaign (on 8/4), the story tells itself.

Agree, it looks like cabbage, with thick leaves, but also like purple leaves in a “spring mix” bag that seem more fragile than cabbage. The ones that don’t hold up more than a few days.

Possibly right, another commenter thought it could be Swiss chard.

I agree with your caution but I absolutely love Haymarket. I pick things out with great care.

(Swiss chard, with colored stalks and big leaves, is regularly at Haymarket btw)

On a quick search that’s what I found, but the images of Swiss chard have colored stalks. The leaves don’t seem to match. So far that’s the best bet.

“Bright Lights” at Haymarket yesterday. The vendor said it can be eaten raw or cooked, and that it reminded him of kale. Has anyone had this? @universalhub.com

It was just a matter of time before Norwood resident and son-of-wealth Ernie Boch would throw $1,000 at the Kraft campaign — Boch has been one of metro Boston’s leading Trump/MAGA sponsors. Surprised that Boch wasn’t a founding partner of the Kraft superpac.

I was referring to your request for broader daylightjng, and JFH’s response to that. That didn’t regard illegal activity. The illegal activity (parking illegally) is an enforcement issue.

We can drop this, I was only engaging because I thought there was an opening for conversation.

Do swallows murmur, forming dense patterns in the sky like starlings? Or is it dense but not a shape-shifting blob?

I was thinking “Wu for Boston” colors! 🟣

“Future Fare Gate Location” sign on the concourse at South Station.

If that’s the case, why give a speech rebooting his campaign tomorrow, as reported by Scott Van Voorhis?

Do you think u and JFH could both be right? Let’s assume it’s political issue (which I can attest to in my ‘hood, where loss of a parking spot is seen as heresy to the vast majority of residents) should a mayor throw themselves on a sword, or take 2 steps forward, 1 step back, while making progress?
