Every year gives me at least 365 more reasons to feel blessed to be your son. Thank you mom. We love you so much, happy birthday!

The line between justice & vengeance can be thin & overstepped quickly. A true friend realizes that when harm is caused it is easy for those we care about to lose sight of that - and acknowledges the truth of their pain while helping keep them on the right side of things.

I normally don’t respond to anything written in the Business section of the Globe, because we all know who they’re really advocating for, but this piece is filled with so much misinformation and fear-mongering on the Transfer Fee. So here’s a 🧵

Grateful to my friend Julia Mejia for taking a few moments (and a lot of baked goods) to help support the Mildred Avenue School while out on the campaign trail today. In ways big and small she is fighting for BPS families. Glad to vote for you today! #bospoli

Quick reminder. There are a lot of wonderful organizations out there doing great work to uplift and support communities, that are trying to make ends meet themselves. The giving doesn't have to stop just because we're past #GivingTuesday - the need certainly hasn't.

Didn't think I would see a time when high profile voices from Tallahassee crying about the elites being against them and giving away what they earned to the less deserving would have any kind of basis in reality but...

Thinking about all of the speeches, prayers, & public commitments made in Dr. King's name today. In the end it comes down to a simple question: Are we gesturing towards a symbol out of convenience or are we fighting & sacrificing because we understand the man behind it? #MLKDay

Great to see the turnout, from both community members and elected officials, at tonight's GBIO in-District meeting to discuss critical housing equity and justice legislation. Glad to hear vocal support from my Rep Russell E. Holmes & Senator Liz Miranda #bospoli #mapoli

Full house and lots of friends at the Progressive Mass Annual Meeting today. Really appreciated the conversation between Sonia Chang-Díaz & Robert Kuttner about the challenges to creating lasting progressive change in Mass. We have a lot of work to do! #mapoli

PROUD BROTHER ALERT 🚨 Not sure if you knew, but my sister khalbert.bsky.social is kind of a big deal. Can't wait for everyone else to listen in on the #bospoli & #mapoli gems I get to hear all the time!

Say it louder for the people in the back! I wish more people would take khalbert.bsky.social advice on how to build authentically & intentionally WITH community in order to truly serve community.

Sad to hear of Sarah-Ann Shaw's passing. A true Boston icon. She was the embodiment of grace, resolve, & purpose, and always gave me much to consider. My condolences to her family and loved ones, may her memory be a blessing and an inspiration. tinyurl.com/mu6f6zxe

Hands down my favorite part of the Boston Celtics championship so far was our 8 year old starting her day this morning shouting "We got more than the Los Angeles Lakers, we got more than the Lakers!" to no one in particular #Banner18 #bleedgreen

This #DebateNight is like watching a grandpa who should be taking a nap getting into an argument with a guy who is blocked from calling into talk radio, while they both block the self checkout line at the grocery store

Only 2 choices: 1) Feel relief because the outcome gives us hope, then get back to work fighting for the future we need 2) Grieve because the outcome shows we have farther to go than we thought, then get back to work fighting for the future we need Either way, keep fighting ✊🏾
