This is right near the Green Line too. 😱

That thing we are seeing in Minneapolis that we haven't seen in a long time and need a helluva lot more of is solidarity.

The Hub, innit.

How much is a brand-new empty office building in Cambridge worth these days? We’re about to find out. - The Boston Globe Owners of an empty, brand-new office building in Cambridge are being forced by their bank to seek new investors or risk losing the building to foreclosure.

For us in the neighborhood, it looks a lot better than what was there before, but 😬😬😬

Listening to tractors taking the snow off the PROW putting me
to sleep like the pitter-patter of a nighttime rainstorm.

Welcome back all of you adorable little curb cuts.

We’ll be seeing you tomorrow in the daylight. 😘

Finally, the balance of equities and public interest favor a stay. The Government does not cite any reason termination must occur post haste. Secretary Noem complains of strains unlawful immigrants place on our immigration-enforcement system. Her answer? Turn 352,959 lawful immigrants into unlawful immigrants overnight. She complains of strains to our economy. Her answer? Turn employed lawful immigrants who contribute billions in taxes into the legally unemployable. She complains of strains to our healthcare system. Her answer? Turn the insured into the uninsured. This approach is many things—in the public interest is not one of them

For the culture 🇭🇹

VII. CONCLUSION There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. Secretary Noem, the record to-date shows, does not have the facts on her side or at least has ignored them. Does not have the law on her side or at least has ignored it. Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, she pounds X (f/k/a Twitter). Kristi Noem has a First Amendment right to call immigrants killers, leeches, entitlement junkies, and any other inapt name she wants. Secretary Noem, however, is constrained by both our Constitution and the APA to apply faithfully the facts to the law in implementing the TPS program. The record to-date shows she has yet to do that.

Haiti’s TPS continues for now!!!!! And zowie: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.283214/gov.uscourts.dcd.283214.124.0_1.pdf

If only you were able to operationalize that keen risk analysis, and combine it with the necessary emergency response (and legal!) infrastructure, it’d be 👌🏾.

Too many variables for a public agency burdened by a history of crisis 🤓

Ari!!!

CBS can censor shit but can’t translate a gotdam thing.

Mmm hmm

For 20 years straight, nearly every mention of Ms. Lauryn Hill has been accompanied by some punchline about her punctuality. But it is a simple truth that she is a genius, and there's no better evidence than her being damn near the first person in Grammy history to put on a worthy memorial tribute.

My back up singers getting it.

5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, father board plane for Minneapolis after detention center release A federal judge on Saturday ordered that the pair be released.

Liam and his dad are finally free and on their way back home to Minnesota.

They never should have been kidnapped in the first place.

I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis.

If not, why not?

Incredible! A 16-Year-Old Just Ran a 3:48 Mile—the Fastest Time Ever by a Junior Athlete Sam Ruthe’s first indoor track race was historic, to say the least.

In other news, today at Boston University’s indoor track meet, a 16 year old won the mile, finishing in 3:48.88.

It was his first time running on an indoor track.

Are we related?

THIRTY FOUR THOUSAND

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Unfortunately, I remember that Reagan’s FEMA Director had written that a similar infrastructure was needed to keep Black people in camps.

It’s been on my mind for a while.

I'm sorry, folks, but we're now more than a year in. If you're new to the fact that I consider it dangerous & unacceptable to presume that the administration won't comply with a lawful court order, that's on you at this point. I've been discussing this here & writing about it at Law Dork nonstop.

At 7:30 I saw a car parked in the bike lane, which is the extent of snow removal.

Because of the storm, it didn’t annoy me like usual, but looking closer I saw that:

A kid was in back (car seat, sipping bottle), and it was a food delivery.

Mom brought it out while Dad waited.

🥺

I feel for the plants living near the stations! 😢

There was some frustration that the storm schedule was only declared for Monday when anyone in their right mind knows it’ll take a lot longer to clear 2ft of snow with minimal melting/sublimation.

I just ran into a neighbor who works for Keolis, and … I wished him all the best during this trying time.
