Proponents of the changes to the Exam School policy in Boston claim they're "fixing a numerical error." But in truth, the policy is regressive, and follow well-trod paths of descrimination.

Everyone deserves to have a Mayor like mine!
Wu: "Boston is the target in this fight for our future because we are the cradle of democracy, pioneers of the public good, the stewards and keepers of the American Dream. We were built on the values this federal administration seeks to tear down."

“The allegation here is not that he was breaking the law,” said your government about a man they surveilled, arrested, detained, & flew more than 1,400 miles from his pregnant wife before beginning the process of revoking his greencard & deporting him for life

So what is it--and what's next?
"THE ALLEGATION HERE IS NOT THAT HE WAS BREAKING THE LAW"

I think it’s so emblematic of the modern GOP that they thought today’s house oversight hearing would go well for them, instead of basically serving as a campaign opportunity for someone like Mayor Wu, who is usually the smartest and best prepared person in any room she finds herself in.

Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see

1. The data it was trained & evaluated on

2. The code

3. Model architecture

4. Model weights.

DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.

literally where is everyone?
we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.
... along with a dozen other states including Massachusetts. @massago.bsky.social did it for us.
@oldmanwalkey.bsky.social like what we were talking about yesterday...
As usual, @mattcameron.bsky.social is the voice of reason. I was about to blow a gasket after seeing the picture of the ICE officers outside of my beloved Chelse MarketBasket!
Whose AG is this? MY AG. And I cannot be prouder.
BREAKING: President Trump thinks he can ignore the constitution and deny birthright citizenship from thousands of innocent children.

It's a cruel, egregious overstep of his authority.

We're suing to stop this unlawful plan in its tracks.
In summary, thank you @wutrain.bsky.social for making your own choice for yourself, your family, and our City.
