#NewtonMA just paid $1.56 million to settle racial discrimination lawsuits against the fire dept. Yet the posting for a new chief doesn't mention "skills in inclusive and equitable management" in the required or preferred qualifications. Um, hello?newtonma.gov/home/showdocum…

#NewtonMA may cut up to 74 positions in the Newton Public Schools patch.com/massachusetts/…. Will @newton_ps, Newton City Council and @NewtonMAMayor join in a community-led stand against defunding public education?
#NewtonMA paying out $1.56 million to settle racial discrimination suits. Will this trigger a change? patch.com/massachusetts/…
After Amir Locke Killing, Is Police Reform Even the Solution? portside.org/2022-02-16/aft… #DefundThePolice
Thaks to @justicehealing for organizing #NOWOMENSPRISON on Monday Feb. 14 from 12-1 at #mapoli statehouse in #bospoli. Show some love. #DefundThePolice
@mjacksonw Logically, most local police work is defined by the county or state. Still, we should point this out.
The #NewtonMA police stats (on their shiny new site) count instances of "forceable rape." Does this mean they think there is such a thing as a non-forceable rape? newtonpolice.com/FTP/CURRENTYTD…
Fair question: Don't we want elected officials who are unafraid to know the truth, even when that truth is disturbing? Justice for @justonroot. Shot over 30 times by police 2 years ago. justonroot.com
Such a moving vigil today for @justonroot, who was shot 31+ times and killed by #bospoli police in #NewtonMA 2 years ago. His father, sister and mother spoke from the heart demanding a transparent, independent investigation. #DefundThePolice

Not till para 3 does article say man called 911 citing mental health issues. With no criminal aspect, why send police not mental health experts? Sounds like police response CAUSED the knife attack that led to the police shooting #DefundThePolice patch.com/massachusetts/…
Defund Newton Police Department retweeted
And still formerly incarcerated women in Massachusetts fighting for years for clemency for women in MA and as part of a national clemency movement to free women can’t get a mention. we unapologetically focus on ending incarceration of women and girls cause if not us who? #FreeHer
#NewtonMA please come on January 19th at 7pm to reflect on mental health and policing.

Tomorrow, most of MA will experience sub-zero temperatures. No one should have to choose between sufficient heating / sufficiently warm clothing and affording rent. Just another reason why we need to #LiftTheBanMA. #RentControl #mapoli @homesforallmass @CityLife_Clvu
