There are certain jobs you don’t want to get, no matter how prestigious they might seem at first, because once you’re picked, it’s only a matter of time before you’re either disgraced, exiled, imprisoned, or even dead.
For instance, boss of the Gambino Crime Family, anchor of the CBS Evening News, or head terrorist for Hamas, Hezbollah or ISIS.
And to those dead-end jobs, you can add this one:
Latest poster gal for DEI politics in the City of Boston.

Am I right, Tania Fernandes Anderson, the next convicted felon member of the Boston City Council?
She is just the latest in a long line of uber-woke frauds who were the subject of innumerable slobbering agitprop puff pieces in regime-controlled Boston media. She follows in the footsteps of, among others:
Monica Cannon-Grant.
Rachael Rollins.
Dianne Wilkerson.

Claudine Gay.
Kendra Lara.
Tania seemed to have it all going for her. So many “firsts” – first (former) illegal alien, first African-born, first Muslim on the City Council.
And now she becomes the first African illegal alien Muslim to ever be convicted of a felony while serving on the Boston City Council.
Welcome to the DEI Hall of Shame, Tania.

All these crooked, corrupt flame-outs follow pretty much the same pattern. They’ve all been coddled and pampered by guilt-ridden rich white liberals all their lives to the point that they assume everything will be handed to them, as long as they scream “Racism!” loud enough.
Every one of these race grifters has taken the scams to new levels, but TFA absolutely tried to shoot the moon.
Think about Julia Mejia, Boston city councilor but a mere runner-up in these sweepstakes. She too is a first – “the first Afro-Latina to sit on the Boston City Council.”
Anyway, Julia Mejia’s mother was “undocumented.” That’s a resume-enhancer in modern Boston politics. But wait, Tanya can top that – she herself came into the country to go on welfare as an illegal alien.
She didn’t become a US citizen until 2019, although by then she’d enjoyed the usual Democrat career trajectory of welfare masquerading as jobs – counselor, service coordinator, outreach manager, intervention provider, etc. etc.

Whatever any of her rivals for Victim of the Year could claim, Tania can top.
Ayanna Pressley, city councilor turned Squad Congresswoman, married a jailbird who did 10 years for drug crimes.
But Tania beat Ayanna easily on the marriage front – she got hitched to a first-degree convicted murderer. And for a bonus, her bloodthirsty husband’s first name is Tanzerious, which is so much more street than Ayanna’s ex-con husband, Conan Harris.
In these DEI sweepstakes, you need to have a memorable quote that everyone always remembers.
For Julia Mejia, the first Afro-Latin, etc., it’s this message she delivered on social media:

“For those of you who are wondering if I am using drugs, answer is absolutely not!”
As for Tania, who can ever forget her immortal shriek at City Hall after she was forced to fire her sister and her son from their $140,000 worth of hack jobs because of the evil white man’s anti-nepotism laws:
“What the bleep does a black woman have to do on this bleeping Council to get some respect as a black woman?”
She was just honoring the tradition of her community – the Boston community that she flopped into for a free lifetime ride, not the one that she really comes from, which is Africa.
Tania is going to prison for grabbing $7,000 cash in a bathroom at City Hall – a kickback from one of her other relatives that she hired and then gave a “bonus” to.

In that, Tania was following in the footsteps of one of her predecessors as Roxbury city councilor – Chuck “Superfly” Turner, who grabbed a grand and was lugged to Club Fed. Another racist frame!
As a female crooked DEI pol, Tania’s crime mimicked ex-Sen. Dianne Wilkerson from, where else, Roxbury. She was recorded on an FBI camera stuffing $1,000 into her bra.
They’re all from the 02120 zip code. And they all end up with a different kind of number, from the Bureau of Prisons (BOP). Wilkerson’s was 21757-038. Turner’s was 80641-038.
Like Tania, Wilkerson was continuing a tradition in her Second Suffolk Senate District – being a jailbird. She was the third convicted pol in a row to serve as the solon from Roxbury. Two other thugs, Bill Owens and Royal Bolling Sr., had swapped the seat back and forth for decades before she gave Roxbury yet another of its perennial “fresh starts.”
The name Kendra Lara is now fading from political memory. She retired from the Boston City Council after a brief and shining moment when she was the poster gal for Boston DEI Politics.

It was 2023 and she crashed into a house in JP while driving an unregistered, uninsured, uninspected vehicle with no driver’s license.
She’s lucky she wasn’t charged with impersonating an illegal alien? And did I mention that Councilor Lara’s son, who was injured, is named Zaire. Good name! Almost as good as Tania’s second son (not by Tanzerious). He goes by Shah Mohammed.
Kendra could have been a contender. After all, her c.v. included a stint as “Director of Radical Philanthropy” at some place. She was “anchored by a socialist vision.”
But Kendra was soon gone, much like Marilyn Moseby. Remember her? She was a Dorchester girl, moved to Baltimore and became the top prosecutor in that failed city before she became… a convicted felon.
METCO Marilyn went down on mortgage fraud and perjury raps. Dorchester Proud!

But the queen, I think, remains Monica Cannon-Grant. She had the BLM franchise to steal in Boston. And she remains at large – the new date for her federal trial on corruption charges involving more than $1 million in fraud and thievery is Oct. 25.
Everyone mentioned above has gotten innumerable wet kisses and sob stories from the ladies who lunch who now dominate the Boston “news” media. But Monica Cannon-Grant was the capo di tutti fraudi.
She was the Boston Globe’s “Bostonian of the Year.”
Boston Magazine dubbed her “the best social justice advocate in Boston?”
The Boston Celtics called her “a hero among us.”

Tania was plenty crooked, but she’s never risen to the level (or the weight) of Monica Cannon-Grant. The Globe will never name her Bostonian of the Year. The month, maybe, but not the year.
So farewell then Tania Fernandes Anderson. In her first campaign, she pledged “affordable housing” for her constituents. Now she’s gonna get some, complements of the Bureau of Prisons.
Write when you get your BOP number, Tania, and once you’re incarcerated, maybe you can arrange for some conjugal visits with your better half and fellow jailbird, Tanzerious Anderson.
Look on the bright side. After a few months, you’ll get sprung and Trump will deport your shiftless Third World rear end right back to Africa where you belong.
Tanzerious, on the other hand, is doing life without parole.
A federal judge on Wednesday permanently barred President Donald Trump’s administration from implementing most of his first executive order on elections, part of which sought to require people to show documentary proof of citizenship when they register to vote.
The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Denise Casper in Boston effectively converts a preliminary injunction she issued a year ago, in which she temporarily blocked many of Trump’s efforts to overhaul elections, into a permanent ban.
Casper rejected the administration’s argument that the lawsuit to block the changes brought by Democratic state attorneys general was premature because the rules had yet to be implemented. Instead, she agreed that the Constitution gives states and Congress the authority to regulate elections, and that Trump’s requirements violated the separation of powers.
The Constitution “does not grant the President any specific powers over elections,” she wrote.

Among other proposed changes, Trump’s order would have required people to provide documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote, prevented mail ballots from being counted if they arrive after Election Day, even if they were postmarked by then, and punished states that failed to comply by withholding certain federal money.
It was the latest in a string of rulings against the elections executive order Trump signed just months after taking office for his second term. He has since signed another executive order on elections, seeking to create a national voter list and limit mail balloting. That directive also faces multiple legal challenges.
Last fall, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., overseeing a separate challenge to the first election executive order by civil rights and Democratic Party-aligned groups blocked the government from taking steps to include the proof-of-citizenship requirement on the federal voter registration form. That judge later barred the Secretary of Defense from requiring documentary proof of citizenship when military personnel register to vote or request ballots.
In an apparent nod to the difficulty of implementing a proof-of-citizen requirement by executive order, Trump is pushing legislation in the Republican-controlled Congress to create such a mandate. The SAVE America Act has passed the House but has stalled in the Senate, leading Trump to advocate for eliminating the filibuster that is blocking the legislation.
On Wednesday, he abruptly cancelled the expected signing of a bipartisan housing bill, saying he won’t sign legislation until Congress passes his proof of citizenship requirement for voting.
Three days after an alleged carjacker hit and killed a woman in Boston’s Mattapan neighborhood, members of the community came together to honor her life.
A candlelight vigil was held Tuesday evening for 32-year-old Mabinty Janneh of Dorchester. She died after being hit Saturday afternoon on Blue Hill Avenue.
Ibraim Matos, 37, of Hyde Park, is charged with murder in the crash. He allegedly stole a vehicle and drove it onto the sidewalk, fatally hitting Janneh.

Heartbroken family, friends and community members gathered near the site of the crash to remember Janneh Tuesday.
“We need justice for Mabinty,” said her aunt, Mbalu Tarawally.
“I just felt like I needed to be present,” said Rev. Dr. Barbara Simmons. “If the family lost a person, the least I can do is come here and show my face.”
“She was young, vibrant. Hard worker. Wants to do everything,” said Ahmad Thorley, a family member of Janneh.
The suspect in a deadly carjacking and crash in Boston’s Mattapan neighborhood appeared in court to face charges including murder.

Witnesses said Matos dragged Janneh several hundred feet after hitting her.
The stolen Toyota RAV4 crashed into an MBTA bus, and people at the pulled Matos out of the car and holding him there until police arrived.
Matos pleaded not guilty Monday to charges of leaving the scene of personal injury and death and motor vehicle homicide by reckless operation, along with murder and carjacking. His defense attorney spoke briefly on Monday, saying they will evaluate “where we stand” in a few weeks after the mental health evaluation.
Boston taxis will be able to pick up passengers who request Uber and Lyft rides under a new pilot program announced by Mayor Michelle Wu Tuesday.
Customers who get a cab through a ride-hailing app will still see the cost upfront on their phone as opposed to the typical taxi fare structure.
“The goal of the pilot is to give Boston passengers more options to hail a taxi and to allow Boston’s licensed taxis to participate directly in meeting the demand for trips generated through Uber and Lyft,” the city said in a news release.

Wu said the yearlong pilot will allow cab drivers to earn more while reducing wait times for passengers.
“We’re thankful for the collaboration and advocacy from our taxicab drivers to introduce this new transportation service, and excited to support the people who keep our city moving,” the mayor said.
The program excludes taxi trips to Boston’s Logan Airport, and allows the Hackney Division to make exceptions during some special events in the city.
Uber’s website informs users “you might get matched with a Boston taxi driver.”
“If so, you’ll enjoy the same 24/7 availability and affordable prices you know with UberX while riding to your destination in a cab,” Uber says.

The city said it expects taxi drivers will now be able to “access a significantly larger number of trips than most currently serve.”
“This change is a major boost for taxi drivers in Boston and the passengers we serve,” said Balwinder Gill, who has owned and operated a Boston taxi for 25 years.
