Good for Mayor Wu, pushing back on Trump/MAGA’s false narrative of a “city in chaos.”

The Herald spent all week focused on two teens who lit a cruiser on fire, and BPD arresting 13 protesters. Violence is never acceptable, but fear-mongering and hysteria must also be recognized for their impacts.

Trump’s chaos will punish students.

It's working families' kids who will fall further behind.
