Transportation Policy, Brookline Housing and Town Meeting, work for MassDOT/MBTA but views all my own.
All should read and remember what was said by who when the election comes in May.
Warnings of burglaries by "needy addicts" and imagined scenarios of victimized elderly people.
On the other side: "individuals should not
have the privilege of vetting their neighbors."
Read the heated Town Meeting member debate over a transitional housing facility

Hey @crew.bsky.social or other ethics experts.
In the absence of federal grants, what are the implications for the Hatch Act for state, local and NPO employees?

So I was a federal employee for years and I am going to repeat a fact that people forget every time a politician sings this song. The government is wildly understaffed and you will feel these kinds of cuts immediately because the people eligible for retirement make up the bulk of knowledgeable staff
Trump’s pick to head OMB Russell Vought says he wants government employees “traumatically affected” and “to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains.” Targeting our nation’s public servants is wrong and dangerous.
Opinion | I’m a Federal Employee. This Is What We Need Most in the Trump Era.
Practical support matters more than encouragement.

Sharing a short thread summarizing the #TRBAM workshop I co-organized on low-income reduced fare programs.
We learned a lot from experts about what works best and how we can design programs most effectively. Many thanks to the panelists and my co-organizers, plus great engagement from attendees.

Our #TRBAM2025 workshop brought together experts from the public transit and shared micromobility fields to share their research and best practices for low-income reduced fare programs.
A big thanks to my co-organizers Candace Brakewood, @leebier.bsky.social, and Adam Cohen!

Am enjoying #TRBAM but struck by the lack of vegetarian / pescataeian options at the convention center for lunch.
Appears to be limited to Ben's chili (2 locations, long lines), a sad grab and go hummus wrap (multiple), and a burrito (1 location).
Somehow the sub shop doesn't even have anything!
