FYI @marisakabas.bsky.social more ICE kidnappings in East Somerville.
As you can see, this man is as cool as a cucumber, knows his rights, and is confident that he is here legally.

"I was fired by email, without a conversation— after 11 years at the WaPo Opinions section as an editor and then columnist."
New from me:

There's a lot of misinformation around the reasons I was fired from WaPo.

Here's the official termination letter I got sent by Washington Post.

Read and judge for yourself.

Nexstar is the cause of Jimmy Kimmel’s firing.
They need the approval of the FCC for their next merger and getting rid of Kimmel was the quid pro quo.

I've seen photos from verified ICE sightings today in Lynn and the cars include Subarus and Nissans, all with Massachusetts plates. This reinforces that they are using rentals to try and blend in.

A reminder that you should call LUCE immediately if you suspect ICE may be in the area: 617-370-5023

I'm jealous of what is happening in Montréal. I spent another week walking, using mass transit, shopping, and dining. I left my suburban home by car, drove 5 hours north, parked my car, and did not have to touch it the whole time I was on vacation.

Not all e-bikes are equal. Some offer an assist, and others are fast-moving mopeds. I love seeing more bikes out, but I'm seeing a lot of lightweight moyorcycles out this summer.

It is frustrating sitting through yet another meeting discussing safety improvements in an old New England intersection in a downtown that was designated a state highway in the early 1900s when trucks were basically pickups with baskets on the rear and not the long, massive tanks that exist today.
