Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino’s dad killed a 26-year-old woman while driving drunk and got just 1 year in jail.

Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union.

They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration.

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.

Writing doesn't just help you process your thoughts.

Neuroscientists have found it physically changes your brain in ways that build resilience and help you handle everyday stress and challenges.

Writing builds resilience by changing your brain, helping you face everyday challenges
Resilience is often presented as feats of bravery and endurance. But everyday practices like journaling, drafting a text or even writing a to-do list are manifestations of a capacity to adapt.

UPDATE: Another judge just dinged DOJ in another trans care subpoena case, with Judge Joun finding that DOJ missed a deadline, and, accordingly, their motion to alter the judgment in the Boston Children's Hospital case was "untimely." And, because DOJ also appealed, Joun has no further jurisdiction.
