Hernan Escobar was on his way to work when ICE agents sideswiped his car, shattered his window, and refused to identify themselves.
Like so many in Malden, I am disgusted that this systematic terror has made its way into our community. We will get answers, and we will get justice.

He will have stories to tell which is why I fear he is never coming back.
Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

A very happy birthday to Peter Gammons, the man Alex Cora rightly calls "Legend."
"And all of a sudden the ball was there, like the Mystic River Bridge, suspended out in the black of the morning ... "
Poetry. Every baseball writer today is a product of how Peter did the job. Long may he run.

Netanyahu loves Trump's plan to force 2 million people from Gaza & turn it into a billionaires’ Riviera. He calls it "voluntary migration.”
It's not voluntary if you bomb & starve those who stay.
It’s ethnic cleansing. It's a war crime.
No more military aid to Netanyahu.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

The way I keep flipping back and forth between "They're evil," "They're stupid," "They're evil," "They're stupid," is making me feel a bit too much like Evelyn Mulwray than I care to feel like.
