Crystal Huff (they/them)Another thing worth noticing:Mayor Ballantyne's team and the Somerville4Palestine group may disagree about how the S4P forum was cancelled earlier this month (and by whom), but given it was going to be inside Connexion (local community church and org that has a lot of members who've been traumatized by police actions against them), I side with S4P on that. MayorB shouldn't have required a cop inside the building with her.

Crystal Huff (they/them)Continuing this thread of <a href="https://mas.wrong.tools/tags/SomervilleMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SomervilleMA</a> local politics stuff...The endorsements of Greater Boston Labor Council are now public. Several endorsements in city council races... AND, kinda astonishingly (at least to me), they didn't endorse in our mayoral race?? They endorsed in Boston's mayoral race, but not Somerville's.
