    Greater Boston used to be the kind of place where someone could buy a home with a working-class paycheck. That is not true anymore. For Spotlight, this is my story of a Watertown family, their multifamily home, and the fading dream of homeownership. 🧵

    Today, a man harassed me on the Green Line for several stops until someone stepped in and pretended to know me. And let me say — that shit works.

    If you want your coffee from a unionized barista, try the Starbucks at 1304 Commonwealth Avenue or 277 Harvard Street. The two cafes made it official today — a first for the coffee giant in Massachusetts. @SBWorkersUnited

    Two dozen Starbucks employees in Boston are part of growing coalition of workers looking to unionize the country’s largest coffeehouse chain. “Our stores could be even stronger if the baristas on the ground — the people on the floor — had more say."

    NEW: Three Somerville coffee shops — Diesel Café, Bloc Café, and Forge Baking Company (@DbfUnited) — have ratified a union contract. They're the 2nd ☕️☕️ chain in Boston and among the first nationwide to reach an agreement after organizing. tinyurl.com/mshk77uz

    In 2019, three Boston area housing authorities tweaked Section 8 vouchers so that they are worth more in pricier neighborhoods. The move has the potential to transform where people live in Mass. and shrink pockets of poverty. It's already working. /1 tinyurl.com/5n7ezc8x

    If you’re looking for a copy of the Sunday Globe, do not go to the Central Square 7/11. I quite literally bought them all 🥹 (📸: @adriarwatson)
