๐ฃTHREAD: Itโs surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but youโnot AWS, not Signal, not anyoneโcan access your comms).
Itโs also concerning. 1/
Feel free. If it helps get the MBTA more money to fix things and improved the system, then go to it!
The T has its problems but Phil Eng has been working miracles in how much it has improved over the last couple years.

Nothing like the ones that have come down in Harvard Sq station but it was still enough to have caused some decent damage to oneโs head.

Boston No Kings! won't be your average protest.
Yes, weโll have speakers-but also live music, theater & art, & more than 30 resistance groups ready to turn your outrage into action.
Peaceful? Yup. Passive? Never. Join us!

They largely want the studios & sports and donโt care about the news org. In fact, they would love it gone. Why? Because rich men, especially tech men, think they deserve no criticism and also need constant fluffing. They value a mirrortocracy over a meritocracy and welcome a mediocrity.

Boston is a thriving community, the economic and cultural hub of New England, and the safest major city in the country โ but this administration is intent on attacking our community to advance their own authoritarian agenda. This is our City, and we will vigorously defend our laws and the constitutional rights of cities, which have been repeatedly upheld in courts across the country. We will not yield. MAYOR MICHELLE WU
