From a 2014 report that border patrol tried to cover up:

"Border Patrol agents have deliberately stepped in the path of cars apparently to justify shooting at the drivers"
Border Patrol's use of deadly force criticized in report
An independent review of U.S. Border Patrol shootings criticizes the agency for 'lack of diligence' in its investigations and suggests that agents' tactics sometimes create a pretext to open fire.

Renee Good's murder by an ICE agent is hitting me particularly hard because my brother's best friend from high school was shot and killed in a similar way.

I know how that sudden violence will echo in her community for the rest of their lives.

Evan's almost-win scared the legislature enough to implement some transparency, like public committee votes.

The result: a bill rolling back MA climate action stalled out, despite the support of the House Speaker, because publicly voting for it was embarrassing.

A win would be even more impactful!
I’m excited to announce today that I am running for State Representative for the 25th Middlesex District.

We need to have a state government that works for the many, not just the well connected few.

Haiti, lacking oil, is the poorest nation in the hemisphere
and probably the most dangerous.

That’s why the State Department issued a “Do Not Travel” order.

Simultaneously, however, the Trump administration insists it’s safe enough to force around 350,000 Haitians legally living and working in […]

The #harvardcrimson digs into the chatlogs and edit wars among American Nazi Youth propagandists at an elite institution. Names to watch, as some will doubtlessly ascend to our regime's Sicherheitsdienst.

There are three consequences I see for Taiwan:

First, is that Trump espouses the Monroe Doctrine, by which each of the great powers has their own "natural" sphere of influence. This means that the US has the right to interfere in the Americas, Russia in Ukraine, and China ...
I'm very scared about what this means for Taiwan.

I was busy co-hosting a party during #mamdani's inauguration, so I just stayed up way too late to watch the whole ceremony. So many heartwarming, hopeful moments. First time since leaving my hometown that I've felt sad about no longer living in NYC.
