yeah they’re just grabbing random people at bus stops there is absolutely no attempt to even give the pretense that this is about immigration anymore. it is absolutely just a military occupation
Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

@clairewillett.bsky.social would love to hear your take on this!
Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

True in Cambridge too. Within my own lifetime - and I'm not yet 40 - $200k could buy you a house in Brookline or Cambridge. Now it's a down payment.

You probably know intuitively or anecdotally that it's expensive to buy a house in Brookline. But I think the numbers we dug up, based on the last 12 months of home and condo sale data, will still surprise.
