Tania Fernandes Anderson is Boston’s first Muslim, formerly undocumented, African immigrant officeholder
With her outrageous behaviour and threats, a Democratic city council member from Boston is beginning to agitate her leftist colleagues. She has called to “dismantle the White backdrop” in America and “ignite a revolution.”
An employee of the municipal hall provided the information; she asked to remain anonymous due to the “unhealthy” atmosphere that councilwoman Tania Fernandes Anderson had fostered. According to the worker, Fernandes Anderson is a “troubled guy” who manipulates people by accusing them of being racist.

The source talked about how difficult it has been to have someone in the local council who has, in their opinion, been antagonistic, abusive verbally, and antisemitic. “She intimidates others.”
Furthermore, intimidation is effective,” the insider claimed. Because “no one want[s] to dispute with Tania because she’s unpredictable,” they claimed, some members will cave in to her demands.
Elected in November 2021, Fernandes Anderson describes herself as “the first formally undocumented immigrant of African descent.
She declared that her objective since winning the election was to start a “revolution” for “equity.” In a December 2021 interview, she stated, “It will be about equity and I hope we don’t have too many arguments in there.
I believe it is past time for us to eradicate systematic racism so that we may start a movement that brings about change.
According to the source, Fernandes Anderson has since gained notoriety for her public outbursts at public city council meetings, which have included “swearing, yelling, and screaming.” The insider stated, “Being called a racist in this city is the last thing someone wants.
Fernandes Anderson calls her own outbursts “smoke.” “You’ll get smoke if you come for me, so don’t come for me. She declared, “I’m not frightened of any of you,” at a meeting in March 2024. It poses a risk. Regarding her remarks, the insider stated, “I think it’s a threat.
The council member also referred to the city council as “depraved” and “stupidly racially split” during that same outburst, citing differences over redistricting.
Fernandes Anderson remarked to her coworkers, “I can’t even call you guys cowardly because desperation demands mercy.
Occasionally, your votes here are racist. I’m here to speak for all Black men and women in our neighbourhood.
She slammed her fist on the table and cried, “What the f— do I have to do in this f—ing council to earn respect as a Black woman?” Fernandes Anderson doesn’t hide from the consequences of blowing this kind of “smoke” on coworkers in private.
She once told the city council to “toughen the f— up” in a text message. Fix whatever the f— is wrong, move on, and let go of your nasty grudges. Put up a stronger fight…
The council member texted her colleagues, “I don’t want to feel like I have to always give someone smoking because when it comes to family, I know we are all capable of becoming warriors.
Simultaneously, the text message urged her colleagues to abandon “dirty politics.” The council member describes herself as “a language person” and remarks, “I think about how to be raw on purpose,” alluding to her candid style of communication.
According to Fernandes Anderson, the purpose of her speech style is to emphasise that “we should reconstruct it so that it’s welcome and we should deconstruct the White backdrop [in America].”
