I'm sick after seeing the video of Charlie Kirk being shot.
Violence against civilians is never okay. Political violence — no matter who is hurt — will always beget worse political violence. And it has no place in our country.

🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 to the amazing conductor on @mbta-cr.bsky.social train 736 inbound. He helped the mom of an infant lift her stroller on board, warned passengers which parts of the car were not as well air-conditioned AND let me catch my breath after a sprint from the parking lot before asking for my ticket.

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil.

Thank you @mbta-cr.bsky.social for holding the train while I sprinted the entire length of the platform - and for opening a door closer to where I was so that I didn’t make the whole train late. I always forget only one door opens midday!!
