The Nova Scotia Christmas tree is officially on its way to the oldest public park in America! Thank you from Boston to our northerly neighbors for well over a century of friendship & care.
People say Boston is a white city because they don’t know Boston is a city in a majority minority metro where the Taiwanese American mayor succeeds in part because she campaigns in Haitian Kreyòl
Arriving soon: a more frequent T, extended weekend service, and a month of fare-free T across all lines on weekend nights! Plus buses arriving every 15 minutes for some of our most popular routes, including the always-free 23 & 28 bus 🙌
What'd you do over the weekend? Public Works began resurfacing the street in front of the Chipotle where Thomas Paine wrote Common Sense
Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!! Thank you for running an inspiring campaign focused on making real change for working people & families.
And huge props to @bradlander.bsky.social for being a true leader, fighter & coalition-builder 🙌
I really like the pieces in this year’s BPS Youth Art Month exhibit in the Mayor’s Office right now. The pup in the hawaiian shirt gets me every time I walk by 😂
ALL. OF. THIS. 👇🏽 thank you @dropkickmurphys.com
Wu: "God bless our City, God bless our people, and God save whoever messes with Boston."

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu at the House hearing on sanctuary cities:
"If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms. Stop cutting Medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our cities safe."
Mic drop!

Boston is the safest major city in the United States because we are safe for everyone. ❤️
To every one of my neighbors back in Boston, know this: You belong here. This is your home. Boston es tu hogar. Boston se lakay ou. 這是你的家.
This is our city.
We are the safest major city in the nation because we are safe for everyone.

PowerCorps: legit one of the coolest programs we do in Boston. 10 months paid, hands-on training in urban forestry, building operations, green infrastructure - fields where we as a city + many employers can’t find enough workers and we know jobs will only grow.
In this house City Hall was always a landmark 💜
wow they still can’t even tell us apart 🤣
Mayor Wu has always been a staunch advocate for city workers and it's been an honor to help her push paid family leave benefits at City Hall across the finish line.
When I had my first daughter in 2017, I was one of those city workers represented by a union and not covered by the first roll out.
Lol, Celeste's take in this thread sums up my reaction to folks' *many* opinions today on our Mayor being one of the first mayors of a major city in this country to give birth while in office.
Love the Gaia globe exhibit at the @museumofscience.bsky.social.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announces today: "The city of Boston has signed a lease with Boston Unity Soccer Partners to open up the largest investment into BPS athletics and White Stadium since it opened in 1949." #NWSL

Boston has installed new rat and rodent proof containers in the North End which will hopefully eliminate the growing problem with critters in the area.

Today’s very cynical @bostonglobe.com editorial eyeroll at the initial BPS-only pilot phase of our Boston Family Days free museum program overlooks the operational work to launch & sustainably run a program of this scale. Sharing a bit of the reality behind how it works: 🧵
When you hear “cut the budget instead”—what they’re not saying out loud: given state law, every $1 cut from tax levy would benefit commercial property owners 2-to-1 over residential—wouldn’t provide relief for residents unless we decimate City services.
The Mayor of Boston tried to do the right thing for the average #mapoli Boston homeowner. Big business & their legislative cronies have put their thumbs on the scale against the little guy. Homeowners will remember that Mayor Wu was on their side.
Free to all. #BostonFamilyDays expands next month to 9 museums & cultural institutions so our young people feel at home in the places that show them the world.

What’s Boston’s climate plan for the next 4 years?
Our new coastal resilience jobs alliance now has the resources to train & place 1,200+ residents in water utilities, coastal design, wastewater management, emergency preparedness, flood protection, & other climate-adaptation careers.
Another episode in our continuing series: we do cool stuff in Boston.
