Hernan Escobar was on his way to work when ICE agents sideswiped his car, shattered his window, and refused to identify themselves.
 
Like so many in Malden, I am disgusted that this systematic terror has made its way into our community. We will get answers, and we will get justice.

I was in a dinner theater production of this in 1992 in Durham, NC. A rather shockingly talented cast and it was tons of fun. But yes, a real stinker. 😅

A very happy birthday to Peter Gammons, the man Alex Cora rightly calls "Legend."

"And all of a sudden the ball was there, like the Mystic River Bridge, suspended out in the black of the morning ... "

Poetry. Every baseball writer today is a product of how Peter did the job. Long may he run.

Netanyahu loves Trump's plan to force 2 million people from Gaza & turn it into a billionaires’ Riviera. He calls it "voluntary migration.”

It's not voluntary if you bomb & starve those who stay.

It’s ethnic cleansing. It's a war crime.

No more military aid to Netanyahu.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

Statement from Elias Law Group Chair Marc Elias

My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm.

"Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

“We must dissent because America can do better.” Good to hear Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford quote Justice Thurgood Marshall in her victory speech tonight.
