And since we’re a little more than a year out for midterms, if you think withholding your vote will get these people to break with Israel, you’re a fool, an anarchist, and an impediment to progress.

“Once rare, 7-year car loans are fast becoming the norm. They’re often the only way buyers can afford new rides, with average sale prices surging 28% in 5 years to approach $50k.”

Designed-in car dependency, surging car prices, longer loan periods with more interest.

Sound like “freedom” to you?

Cars are so expensive that buyers need 7-year loans

Once rare, seven-year car loans are fast becoming the norm. They’re often the only way buyers can afford new rides, with average auto prices nearing $50,000.

The other big reason, I should add, is to ensure that high-quality, specific information is shared. People looking out for ICE is great, but what's important is that the information is actionable and does not cause unnecesary fear and anxiety.

With ICE increasing its presence in and around Boston, I thought I'd repost this helpful guide for reporting ICE sightings in an effective way. Remember: S.A.L.U.T.E.

You can report sightings to LUCE Mass at 617-370-5023 (the holine operates from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. in multiple languages)

REMEMBER!
S.A.L.U.T.E

Size/Strength
"5 to 6 law enforcement officers"

Actions/Activity
"harassing random people on the street"

Location/Direction
"Chicago, West of Millennium Park, on Michigan Ave"

Uniform/clothes
"Dark Blue uniforms that say 'Police ICE' on the back”

Time and date of observation
"12:45 PM January 20"

Equipment and weapons
"They have helmets, vests and batons"

Nearly every media outlet is announcing they will refuse to sign the Pentagon’s new rule stating they cannot report information if it’s not government “authorized.”

Even Newsmax is refusing to sign.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)
