Every time I finish a story and all my creativity is drained, I wonder if that feeling is gone forever.

Read this: www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted.
Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

It's been nice to see the North Shore rallying behind the common cause of yelling at Seth Moulton. I hope this energy leads to a primary challenge in 2026. Photo via Witch City Punks Against hate who organized a protest at his Salem office today: www.instagram.com/p/DCKn7VzhP1...

A sign that reads Trans Lives Matter No Matter What Seth Says

There's another flyer with a photo of Moulton that reads Turns out I'm just transphobic and hate homeless people
