it seems like the Yankees of my youth mostly exist to make me embarrassed to have been a fan of the Yankees of my youth.

Lynn is very hard hit by ICE activity in MA. "Immigrants have long flocked to Massachusetts’ Gateway Cities seeking a first step toward a better life, and they have improved those cities. Gateway Cities can still be where these immigrants settle and thrive, if only they’re allowed to remain."

bostonglobe.comImmigrants, long part of Lynn’s fabric, now feel under siege - The Boston GlobeThere’s not much that cities and towns can do to resist ICE. But they can help protect their communities from the consequences of indiscriminate immigration enforcement.

Kid out on my neighborhood field in a Cape Verde warmup jersey (the one with all the sharks!) doing fancy things with a soccer ball, and I chatted with him about how good Cape Verde was in the world cup. It's cool that it's still getting random Bostonians to talk to each other several months later.

Is this why I've gotten campaign fundraising texts incorrectly sent to my number but addressed to my (late) grandmother?

Adam Bonica@adambonica.bsky.social

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.
