Donald Trump LOSES big time in court.
Would be very terrible if this went viral!
What does it cost to display a sign that says outbound trains are now leaving from the inbound platform? $24B?
Both groups of people (inbound and outbound) were left confused; and delayed if they didn’t somehow figure out the change on their own.
@MBTA

Thank you @EastieFarm for your work on expanding food accessibility through community-centered solutions, a need only intensified by COVID-19. Thank you as well for your support on our steering committee with our food justice bills last session!

.@EastieFarm is one of many local orgs working to transform the US food system—exactly the type of organization we want to see uplifted in the 2023 #FarmBill. Dr. Alice Reznickova visited the farm and had an inspiring conversation with the founders. act.ucsusa.org/3PQoLxe

Flooding at Clippership Wharf, LoPresti Park, and Shaws supermarket
High tide + Wind (Storm surge) means Occasional Flooding in 2022
What will it mean in 2032? 2042? 2052?

Boy, does it take a village! Turned out MUCH more challenging than we thought. We stuck it out, thanks to funders (state, city, community, private), staff, volunteers, contractors, neighbors, city officials, electeds...
TY

I can vouch for the endless entertainment. I was not one of the two silly people, but I was there, and got to watch the pure joy unfold with ceaseless wonder with every additional nesting of this Russian doll phenomenon. #AdultChildren

Idling costs 6 billion gallons = $20 billion/yr now & a livable environment in the future. There are low-hanging fruits in our pursuit of justice. How sincere is our pursuit? @Massport: Please ask parked cars to not idle.
