Also his dog side. Extremely pettable, er, sorry, presidential
A hugely-grinning Michael D. Higgins stands in a navy blue suit, sporting a shillelagh walking stick, with a Ber mountain dog next to him facing the camera, and another Bernese Mountain dog laying next to and slightly in front him, gazing back at Michael - we can only assume adoringly. Consistent with the breed, the dogs are both mostly black with white chests and a white strip on their faces, with brown lower legs and ruff. Consistent with Ireland, the grass appears extra extra green

Sign from today’s protest outside ICE detention center in Burlington MA, held by a kid maybe 7-8 years old. Broke my heart
Kid (face unseen) holding white sign with green and blue letter that reads Hey ICE you stole my best friend. There’s a picture in the corner of this kid and his friend who was stolen by ICE

Loving all the #RobertRedford suggestions but not seeing any for The Candidate - depressingly before it’s time/timeless about a guy with principles who runs for office to make a difference but gets gobbled up by the election machine. Saw it in a poli sci class, never forgot it

The number of turkeys we saw on our way to see @theferocity.bsky.social Saeed in Cambridge felt … meaningful.

Six years. No better way to remember my brother Kevin than at his favorite and only church #redsox
Picture of Boston’s Fenway Park, facing home plate with the iconic green frontice, big crowd, from behind the Sox pitcher’s dugout where Sox pitchers are wearing green Red Sox uniforms (what?! But somehow it works) My brother Kevin at a spring game at Fenway. A close-up, he is wearing a blue sweatshirt under a Red Sox jacket, b/c spring ball amirite, in sunglasses and a red Red Sox hat. He has his hands on his hips, and is posing at his season ticket seat in the front row, which he got in 2004 - the year the Sox reversed the curse

Hey #RedSox #Fenway friends! Fenway concessions workers are on strike, “no food inside” so guess what, you can bring an empty water bottle and fill it up at fountains inside. Friends don’t let friends cross picket lines … cc: @cmcabo97.bsky.social

Happy Opening Day At Fenway!
Picture of the Green Monster wall at Fenway on Opening Day, with red drapery representing championship wins Fenway Park’s Green Monster wall with a large red pennant reading World Series 2004 Champions in blue writing outlined in white. Picture includes part of the field, including the diamond and outfield where an orchestra sits Picture of my brother sitting in his front row season ticket holder seat behind right outfield, near the opposing pitcher dugout and the Pesky Pole. He is wearing a red hoodie under a red Red Sox bomber jacket, he has a Red Sox winter hat on, and he is holding a program that he’ll use to keep score. There is a beer in the beer holder that they have in the fancy seats! He is grinning broadly and this is one of my absolute favorite pictures of him. He died suddenly of a heart attack in 2019 - but this pic is of him alive and happy, in one of his most favorite places.
