Every neighborhood in Boston has beautiful Christmas trees and holiday lights! 🎄✨
Thank you to our @boston.gov workers who make our neighborhoods shine bright and bring the wonder and joy of the season to life for all of our neighbors. ⭐
Madison Park just took a big step forward on the path to a rebuild!
Big news for Boston, BPS, & our future:
Madison Park selected by the state school construction funding program to rebuild a state-of-the-art vocational education campus!
With these baseless attacks targeting our nation-leading programs for fair and affordable housing, the Trump administration continues to undermine the very civil rights laws they are supposed to uphold.
Unlike the Trump administration, Boston follows the law. And we deliver for our residents:
Over the last four years, Boston has created more affordable housing and helped more families become first-time homeowners than ever before.

Michelle takes up the chainsaw to fell this year’s Tree for Boston in Nova Scotia
The Nova Scotia Christmas tree is officially on its way to the oldest public park in America! Thank you from Boston to our northerly neighbors for well over a century of friendship & care.
In Boston, every day is No Kings Day
Mayor Wu cuts a red ribbon on stage surrounded by students, staff, and other community members that hold the ribbon. A crowd watches and photographs them from beneath the stage.
Mayor Wu poses for a photo with a crowd of community members.
Mayor Wu smiles and engages in conversation with five students.
The Sarah Roberts school exterior can be seen during a cloudy and rainy day.
This morning, we proudly cut the ribbon on the new Sarah Roberts School in Roslindale!
In 1847, a brave five-year-old girl and her father became the first to challenge school segregation in court. Sarah Roberts and her father, Benjamin Roberts, sued the City of Boston. 🧵
Graphic with a professional photo of Clare Kelly and text: Mayor Wu appoints Clare Kelly Chief of Staff, Boston Mayor's Office.
I am delighted to welcome Clare Kelly as our new Chief of Staff!
Clare has been a key leader over the last 4 years, serving as Director of Intergovernmental Relations since Jan. 2022. Her decades of service in government and community will help steer our work to make Boston a home for everyone.
Thank you! Even better: polls are actually open until 8pm tonight 😄
Michelle & volunteers take a picture on Adams Street before going out to knock on doors
Michelle walks down the street with her canvassing partner in Dorchester
GOTV weekend dream: knocking on a door & being invited in to crash a football watch party with a house full of voters!
Sunday afternoon door-knocking + crashing Patriots watch parties 😅 Rather be with fans in Dorchester than in the luxury box in Foxboro any day of the week!
It’s Boston vs. the billionaires, and I’m with Boston.
Not just any supporter—a compatriot helping Trump with flights to Guantánamo
Boston will not back down from who we are and what we stand for.
We’re making Boston a home for everyone—except rats. 🐀
Join the City of Boston for “Let’s Talk Rats: the Boston Rodent Action Plan” this Tuesday, August 12 to share your feedback and see what steps we’re taking to reduce the rodent population in Boston.

Oh wow they really changed the coloring to make me look like a vampire 😂
Same message from that day goes for the Kraft billionaire SuperPAC: Hands Off Boston!
The Mayor of Boston should work for the people of Boston & no one else, without hidden financial interests, conflicts, & entanglements.
I’ve released my full & complete financials every year for the last 12 years. Josh Kraft promised to do so months ago…still waiting!
Donald Trump has proven that politicians today can get away with ignoring basic transparency & avoid accountability on personal financial interests, conflicts & entanglements. I’ve been disclosing financials since before Trump & still believe in good government. Here’s why it matters in this race:🧵
As always, the devil is in the details.
#BostonFamilyDay is one of the absolute coolest things @wutrain.bsky.social has done in this first term for Boston residents. Hundreds of folks have been able to experience the City's cultural treasures for the first time with their families.
Today is one of the biggest days yet. Go, go, go.
Honored to earn the support of the teachers, paraprofessionals, nurses, librarians & all members of our largest City union! As a BPS mom, I’m grateful for BTU members every single day. Proud to keep working together to make Boston a home for everyone & BPS the first choice for all our families.
At long last, a new deal for Madison Park & the trades.
Thank you, Ms. Baker & all the Friends of Madison Park for your leadership.
The times are dark, but @wutrain.bsky.social helps us find joy on the regular.
This was a great event and a great day celebrating @ayoedebiribrasil.bsky.social at BLS.

For decades in Boston, BMRB was a trusted source of municipal finance & policy expertise. Today they behave as a political action committee to lower corporate taxes.
I declined the annual invite to present advanced insights on Boston’s budget at a $325/person lunch to fundraise for this cause.
This exchange between @wutrain.bsky.social and AZ Rep. Paul Gosar shows the key difference between a smart, tough, capable, big city Mayor and a Republican backbencher in Congress.
Mayors deal with the fallout when Congress plays political games.

To every one of my neighbors back in Boston, know this: You belong here. This is your home. Boston es tu hogar. Boston se lakay ou. 這是你的家.
This is our city.
We are the safest major city in the nation because we are safe for everyone.
#Boston #Congress #CongressionalHearing #Immigration
Big vote of confidence for Mayor’s reelection today, team.

Arguably the greatest ever to do it. R.I.P. Gene Hackman at 95.
