A sobering thought - a 2019 Pew study found that 55% of Americans get their news from social media. Democracy depends on an informed electorate based on facts, not an algorithm that feeds back what you like and reinforces the reader’s political beliefs. #bospoli

Rembering Robert L. Beal for his years of service to the Boston Municipal Research Bureau, serving in many capacities as a Director including Chairman. He was named a Shattuck City Champion in 2002 for his contributions to the Boston community. May he Rest In Peace and Rise in Glory. #bospoli

Good for Police Commishioner Gross to meet with AG Barr, not because he agreed with him, but because he disagreed with him and was able to talk to the AG of the U.S. That is the example you set in promoting community policing. #bospoli

Always grateful, never forget.

Honoring those who died on 9/11 and US citizens and allies because of it.
