Bravo to Sommerville for updating their condo conversion. Looking forward to Boston’s updates. A quick reminder that as of August 2024, cities & towns are empowered to protect tenants from displacement by increasing notice provisions, right of first refusal, rent controlled leases & move out costs.

He will truly be missed in the Senate and all around the community. Sending love to the entire Kennedy family at this time.

People who try to whitewash our country's history don't actually love America.

They're like a parent who only loves their kid when they win a trophy.

Real love acknowledges failures, mistakes, and growth. Real love is proud of a simple, honest desire to be better.

Special shout out to Dr. Jim Pedulla, Medical Director of PACE, for his decades of leadership and dedication to this vital program.
