I look at the judge's decision that threw out the recently passed Boston City Council district map and Wu's attempt to take the matter into her own hands.

We say goodbye to the Joe Manchin of the Boston City Council. I take a look back on Kenzie's life, her political development, and her new job.

I jump back and forth in time between the Boston School Committee restructuring of 1984-1992 and the most recent Boston City Council debate and Wu veto. I go into the material and ideological conditions that produced the current Boston School Committee and how the debate back then (in some ways) mirrors our own today.  

I finally have the data to look at the new Boston City Council map. I go through the demographic changes and try to see if some new opportunities have emerged. 

I go through the 3 positives and 3 negatives of Mayor Wu's first term and what we have to look forward to in year 2. 

I go through the last 2 months of redistricting, from Ricardo being removed as chair to Frank Baker's attack on Protestants. Mostly talk through the Conservative's attempts to stall, derail, and delay the process.  

Election breakdown, released documents, Globe's integrity, and what Ricardo could have done differently. This one has it all! 

I play audio from the electrifying Boston City Council meeting on Wednesday, and cover the continued political fallout from the Suffolk DA election. (uploaded with an important update that of course dropped after I already recorded)

I think through everything that has unfolded over the last week regarding the Boston Globe, Ricardo Arroyo, Kevin Hayden, the right-wing trolls, and the failures of our institutions and discourse. And most importantly, who should you vote for?
