Globe headline on the eve of election: “Disrespectful” Clickbait? You decide. “By Wednesday morning, the debris was mostly gone thanks to what she called the ‘heroic efforts of the sanitation workers cleaning up … a truly unprecedented pile of trash.’” bostonglobe.com/2025/09/08/dat…
Final frame of latest Josh Kraft video testimonial states “Greater than Menino.” The school social worker being interviewed was VERY careful to stop, review and qualify her view of Kraft’s potential as equal to Menino, not “greater than.” Why manipulate what she said?
Running from one isolated incident to the next, painting Boston as something it's not, and painting neighborhoods where these incidents occur as something they are not, is a choice. Doing so while Trump is threatening a military occupation is a MAGA move. Send Kraft packing.

While the Boston Globe is busy telling people it's over for DaRosa and Santana, even platforming Murphy and AEG to express their negative opinions of Santana... Below, let me present to you, the Boston Globe.

Could DaRosa beat Kraft? Technically probably not. But consider: The Globe could report that Kraft was paying influencers TONIGHT. The Globe could JUST ONCE report Kraft's views re. climate change. Secondly, Kraft stated that a 15% deficit would be a "win." Shame on the Globe.

The latest Emerson poll suggests Domingos DaRosa could beat Josh Kraft. But the Globe has already decided DaRosa is out. Shame on the Globe for this, and for the vile hit piece on Santana last week that shamelessly platformed his opponents Murphy and AEG. bostonglobe.com/2025/09/08/new…
Looks like Josh Kraft paid Roxbury Community College nearly $8,500 to use to its *publicly-owned* auditorium. In my view, it's inappropriate for publicly-owned spaces to be used for campaign events unless they are FREE or low cost, available to all candidates.

“People ‘accused’ of...” Prepare for an increase in accusations citywide. All u have to do to get some1 picked up by ICE under the regime is accuse them of a crime. Is this what the USA stands for? What a disgrace, as Trump wages war on American cities. bostonglobe.com/2025/09/07/met…
Just learned that on August 4, @gintautasd reported that Josh Kraft was paying someone who appeared to be a social media influencer. I just stumbled across the post below, hilighting that news, via Google search. Hat tip to Dumcius for his diligent reporting using OCPF reports.
Per OCPF, Josh Kraft has received contributions of $100 or less from only 157 Boston residents. Those 157 residents contributed $9,055 out of $6.9 million, $5.5 million from Kraft himself. The story tells itself. Please vote in tomorrow's preliminary election (9/9/25).
What a huge misstep for the Globe to provide a soapbox to @ErinforBoston — an At Large from the right-leaning cohort that labeled trans people “men in wigs” — letting her light into @ClrHenrySantana. For those that follow hearings, Santana has been CRUSHING IT on trans issues.

UPDATE: No response from @Massport Media Relations to my email re. what I believe to be an illegal use of a public building on public land for political use. I don’t care who the operator is. I’ve been battling Boston’s “good ‘ol boys” tapping public resources for 3 decades.
Great to find the Herald correcting its language today, describing Josh Kraft's work running his dad's foundation accurately, rather than suggesting (as Battenfeld claimed as recently as last week) that Josh Kraft was a "philanthropist" spending his own funds.
Kraft has become extremely adept at promulgating falsehoods, and this should be troubling to voters. In the latest WBZ interview Kraft falsely claims increases in property taxes would be up to HIM to decide. He fails to mention Prop 2.5. And how the City budget actually works.

Just listened to Josh Kraft AGAIN mislead @wbznewsradio listeners on housing, WITH NO PUSHBACK. Kraft knows stalled housing units were permitted under Walsh-era regs. He also falsely claimed "taxpayers" were on the hook for $172 million for White Stadium. wbznewsradio.iheart.com/featured/night…

“The ICE surge is here in Boston, and I welcome it.” In Boston? None of the ICE activities mentioned by Carr occurred in Boston. Furthermore, Carr misleads readers about the Trust Act. At what point does one ask if the Herald is framing Mayor Wu, and may have legal exposure?
Photo in Herald: Book bag giveaway at Kraft campaign headquarters. Perhaps it's legal to give away what appear to be items of non-trivial value, increased in intangible value by a celebrity's presence. In my view, it's just another sign of the times.
The word "Boston" appears nine (9) times in this new Herald piece. Not one person was picked up in Boston, nor did the ridealong take place in Boston. Yesterday, Herald bootlickers tried to suggest a person picked up in CT was picked up in Boston. bostonherald.com/2025/09/06/ice…
