While in many ways, in my lifetime, America hasn't been more divided than it is now. However, there are signs that the majority of Americans are concerned about extreme #polarization, and want to work across differences to address common goals. More here:

The @nytimes.com article headline about recent survey on #polarization has the pessimistic take that our divisions can't be overcome to solve the nation's problems.
Some silver lining - there's some bipartisan agreement that our divisions are a serious problem.

I like being in the mode of checking the MLB scoreboard last week of the season, as a #RedSox fan! Been a few years...
Oh yes, speaking of checking, I see the Astros got a W so Sox need to win to make this #ClinchDay.

What an impressive (and timely) blast! #RedSox
Jarren Duran gives the Sox the hit that they've desperately needed and haven't gotten often this month: He crushes a two-run homer to right. It's just the 2nd time the Sox have homered with a man on base since Anthony's injury. Sox now lead, 4-3.

Trevor Story running from 2nd, shortly after getting his 31st consecutive steal without getting caught. One for the record book i believe! #RedSox
