This Convention has to be the catalyst, not just the celebration. The energy in the room will need to outlast the event itself if we are to finish the hard work of funding, communicating, and organizing a new political reality.  antoniocaban.substack.com/p/what-massa...

One narrative not getting enough attention following Tuesday’s primary in MA: The state’s Black & Latino Legislative Caucus will likely grow from 26 to 30 members in January—the largest membership in its 53-year history.

Yet another reason both parties should be paying attention to the evolving Latino vote. At least anecdotally, religion still seems to play a meaningful role in shaping the political views of many Latinos in MA. Or maybe that’s changing. Love to see more data on this. www.axios.com/2026/08/02/s...

To my 10th grade English teacher, who said, “Make the conclusion count.”
A screenshot of the last paragraph of the letter to AG Bondi:

On behalf of the people of Boston, and in solidarity with the cities and communities targeted by this federal administration for our refusal to bow down to unconstitutional threats and unlawful coercion, we affirm our support for each other and for our democracy. Boston will never back down from being a beacon of freedom, and a home for everyone.

Sincerely,
Michelle Wu
Mayor of Boston
