ICE is deliberately staging attacks with a cameraman in tow shooting footage for literal propaganda films they are releasing to the public. They shot one two blocks from my home.
If thatβs not news worthy of deep, detailed investigation I donβt know what is.

Of note: they tell you how much it costs for the government to run the free filing system, but they donβt tell you how much it would cost to have a private corporation do it. (Hint: it would cost taxpayers more to have a private corporation do it.)

I worked in Harvard Square,
a lot of celebrities came thru. The best was Julia Child. She lost her parking ticket in her car. I had a pass & got her a new ticket as I came into the garage. I should have helped search her car & spent more time with her. Also sat next to Ken Howard at a bar. Nice.

Teen are the tail that wags the dog.
It is astonishing to me, how we ignore 490,000 adult deaths every year from smoking. Teen use can change. Death is final.
(I used to teach Healthcare Ethics)
FYI: US teen nicotine use is now at a 50-year low, so it's VERY weird to obsess on that.
Thereβs lots of talk about teens. What about all of the adults? They are the ones who suffer from smoking related diseases. There are so many more adults who vape.
