@TheRealHoarse My youngest started college. From home but she is in college.

Friday tradition: Tell me something good. What good thing happened in your life this week? Won the lottery or found a quarter, it doesn’t matter. Just something good.

UPDATE: The e-bikes amendment sailed through with a "YES!" Big THANKS to @SalDiDomenico for putting forth a micro-mobility amendment in the transpo bond bill, and for all those in the Senate who support defining e-bikes in MA to get more people on more bikes! #ebikes #ridefarther

@gloriagavris I will email you

@gloriagavris This was from 6 months ago. Are you looking for the Beacon St bike lanes meeting?

A good 1st step but we need to re-think what role do we want the Police to play? A total ground up review must happen including a complete change in the Police culture.

I’ve signed on to former President Obama’s Mayoral Pledge and “commit to review, engage, report and reform common-sense limits on police use of force.”

No more brutality. No more murder. No more hashtags. Just justice. May it rain down like a mighty river.

Please keep bikes off of the Cold Spring Park Trails. There are reports of increasing amounts of bikes on these trails, which are too narrow to safely accommodate bikes. Bikes can also damage the trails in areas that go through sensitive wetlands.

@_EmilyNorton I bought one the weekend before shut down.

GA is the only state with two U.S. Senate races on the ballot in 2020. We must decide if we want two Senators who, when they received a private briefing on #COVID19, took that information to make a profit — or if we want Senators who actually think about the people first. #gapol

I can’t wait for the next public meeting on a protected bike lane. “You self quarantined for 2 months to save lives but now you can’t sacrifice a parking spot to do the same??”

@niccastillo1017 On day 9 here in Newton. Leave some time to clean out every closet. But pace yourself. One a day.

@seanroche I am washing my hands hourly or more. I have not been within 6 ft if anyone except the people I biked by this morning.

It's 2:30 PM. What's your ratio of number of times washed hands to number of people you've been within 6 ft of?

#Coronavirus testing must be made free to the public if we are going to understand the scope of this crisis. Anything less will undermine America’s effort to protect our communities and save lives. RT if you agree #FamiliesFirst

@bryanbarash Heard from daughter in Baltimore that the reason schools there are closing despite having no verified #COVID19 cases is because of the number of people who are homeless and concerns how fast an outbreak can happen if it gets into this vulnerable population.

Reasons we should suspend mortgage payments and ban evictions: It is very hard to self-quarantine when you don't have a home. The end. #COVID19 #CoronavirusUSA

MEETING CANCELLATION: From the #NewtonMA Planning Department: "In light of COVID-19 we are cancelling tomorrow night’s public meeting. We plan to reschedule for a future date at a time when attendance will not be compromised and we can be sure of hearing all input." #COVID19

Would love to hear (here) from #ma04 candidates on @YesforNewton ... and not just @JakeAuch and @BeckyWGrossman. Big deal for the region on matters of urgency: housing, affordable housing, transportation, sustainability. @ihssaneleckey, @AlanKhazei, @jessemermell, @DavidFCavell

@Naparstek Went to Costco in Waltham MA during a #coronaviruspanic Shelves had plentry of holes including tissues and paper towels.

I went shopping at the Park Slope Food Coop on a Saturday afternoon during a coronavirus panic. AMA.
