His middle name is Joseph, of course it is, but it would be slightly more Boston if his name were Tommy Walsh. His mother’s maiden name was Mary O’Malley. He was predestined to go into Boston politics.

That would because from the way things look, Trump seems to be claiming increased murder rates in states he needs to control. Coincidence, I think not. I’m sure he’s going to find problems he needs to fix in California. We need state leaders to stand up to this tyrant.

Oh my god, Mahty Wahlsh is the most Boston name. It’s been a while since I’ve been back home but I kind of miss hearing the accent.

Here’s a great column by our former Mayor, Ray Flynn about using Boston City Hall to protect Polish Asylum seekers in 1989

Kudos to him and others like him who are stepping forward.

It would be awesome if all the sanctuary city mayors had a summit and hashed out plans to stand united.

Not to mention his insightful and empathetic commentary on one of the world’s darkest days:

We’ll become a loosely affiliated group of city-states who end up controlling resources due to their larger economies and wow, here’s another dystopian future possibility.

He also rickrolled a rightwing shock jock who asked him to defend his position via Twitter. Go Mahty!

Mayors are stepping up lately (Miami-Dade aside).... this video from Marty Walsh of Boston vowing to use City Hall as a sanctuary site if need be had me tearing up:

Honest question: would a mayor be allowed to do that? Refuse city resources for a sitting president? I would freaking love it, but something tells me that there’s gotta be some kind of mandate somewhere that shares the burden with the Secret Service... maybe?

Mayors should be clear. If Trump attacks their city and threatens to strike federal funds for protecting their own citizens, then the city will not provide any form of police protection for a Trump visit. After all, they need to save that money now.

This is not a dictatorship. This is a democracy. We will take avail of every opportunity we have to protect our citizens and protect our people who are living in our city,

Her occassionally doing her job (although admittedly rare in media now) doesn’t impress me.

Megyn Kelly’s contract is expiring and she’s clearly positioning herself to flee Fox News. I know she’s gone outside the box a few times before this election but I don’t think it would be the same if she wasn’t ready to go.

“I’m sick and tired of people like you...”

I don’t think the revelation that Trump is a sexual predator is the reason he’s almost certain to lose the election — his numbers were tanking before the Access Hollywood tape leaked, and he’s a megalomaniac who is incapable running a workable campaign because he can’t let go of petty grievances long enough to focus

I dunno, man, she’s giving me total Veela vibes in this clip. Like, I’m completely on her side right now. That owl needs to geaux to Beauxbaton’s.

Oh Megyn Kelly, how I simultaneously despise and cheer for you
