Tania Fernandes Anderson has only two options left if she wants to beat the rap. First, she could go down to the courthouse and change her last name to “Biden” – in which case, a pardon is guaranteed, automatic. Second, she could renounce her recent naturalization as a US citizen and declare herself to be an illegal alien again – in which case, not only is she immune from prosecution from any crime, but she will also be given police protection from the G-men by Gov. Maura Healey and Mayor Michelle Wu. And she could also go back on welfare....

Boston’s Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu said in an interview on Sunday that her city won’t cooperate with the looming mass deportation operation from the incoming Trump administration — even as the region sees a number of illegal immigrants with criminal charges released back onto the streets. Wu was asked in an interview with WCVB about the Trump administration’s plans to launch a mass deportation operation when it takes office in January, and was asked what Boston’s response will be. “Elections have consequences, and the federal government is responsible for a certain set of actions, and cities, no individual city, can...

Woke Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu, who has been mayor of Boston since November 2021 has long supported a progressive approach to crime but is now looking for some of the most basic offenses to be completely off-limits to prosecution. Wu has argued for charges including shoplifting and disorderly conduct to be beyond the reach of prosectors along with other serious crimes including the receiving of stolen property and even driving with a suspended license. But Wu's progressive outlook goes even further with the 39-year-old seemingly comfortable with offenders that commit 'quality of life' crimes getting off scot free. They include...

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu did not violate state discrimination laws by holding a 'no whites' holiday party because the event was not open to the public, Massachusetts Attorney General has ruled. Democrat Wu hosted the controversial event in December for 'electeds of color'. Her aides were only supposed to invite her six city council members 'of color' but they accidentally sent the event details to seven white members too.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu proudly shared a photo of the controversial “electeds of color” holiday party she hosted on Wednesday, showcasing all the smiling government officials of minority backgrounds at the “no whites” gathering. “Last night was my turn to host the annual holiday dinner for Boston’s elected officials of color—a special moment to appreciate that our affinity group now includes leadership across city, state, county, and federal offices,” Wu wrote in a caption alongside the photo on Instagram.

A Wu administration official, on behalf of the mayor, mistakenly sent all Boston city councilors an email Tuesday inviting them to a holiday party that was meant exclusively for “electeds of color,” prompting an apology and mixed reactions. (Boston Mayor Michelle Wu) The email from Denise DeSantos reads: "Honorable Members: On Behalf of Mayor Michelle Wu, I cordially invite you and a guest to the Electeds Of Color Holiday Party on Wednesday, December 13 at 5:30 pm at the Parkman House, 33 Beacon Street. Please let me know if you plan to attend and if you have any dietary restrictions."...

“Boston has become a little bit of a target in terms of culture wars and white supremacist action,” Mayor Michelle Wu claimed. “We represent what progress looks like.” In a municipality where Biden won 82% of the vote and the city council includes an African Muslim woman in a hijab, the first “Afro-Latina” and the first “Haitian-American,” but only a minority of white Irish politicians terrified of being canceled, where is this threat coming from? Despite that, the Harvard Law grad who is married to a white banker has blamed all her problems on white people. “I’m getting used to...
