In Boston #Saturday 26 Sept 2026 We are already starting to feel some impacts from the #nor’#easter, a long duration wind and rain. I think we have avoided the worse-case scenario. Not better place to spend a day like today than in a library. Glad my local library is still open

Replying to @yussufa918 @Awale11
I have no doubt in my mind that you could have done a lot better than many people who are in SL government. I sincerely hope that your turn will come soon.

So many cherished moments, powerful speeches,far reaching agreements, historic handshakes and landmark announcements have taken place here. I hope the UN emerges from this challenging period stronger & more united. It is undoubtedly going through some very testing times. #UNGA

Thank you for your time and for warmly welcoming us to the #Massachusetts #House of #Representatives. It was a great experience to visit the house as part of a team from Harvard Kennedy School. It was a great opportunity and we enjoyed learning more about the work of the house.
