You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

Doing a loop in Silver Lake, and Ivanhoe Reservoir is looking nicely van Gogh-esque this morning, a kind of daylight version of "The Starry Night."

Democrats finally have broad support for standing up to these insane price hikes and are experiencing more popularity than before between the protests, Tuesday's election results, etc. Why the fuck are they caving? Why is Bernie always the only sane person?
Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

The commute to/from Halloween parties is always so funny. I already look silly driving as Bride of Frankenstein but I had to crouch lower so my wig wouldn't get smushed and kept getting stuck at red lights 🤣

I have recently come across Chris Fleming and not only am I delighted by him, but I have also realized I may have a type for comedians I enjoy in that they must be a certified, absolute goofball with endearing quirkiness.

Oh no. This is such an enormous loss. Jane Goodall has been a hero of mine since I was a child. She was a relentless advocate for the planet until the day she died. And she always did it with patience and compassion and kindness. We are so lucky to have lived in a time that had her in it.
Jane Goodall's work insisting, with evidence from her brilliant and tenacious fieldwork, that we were not so separate from animals, and they were much more like us than the Eurocentric theorists asserted, was so important.
