Just moved in, Massachusetts? Your landlord should give you a "statement of condition" within 10 days of your lease starting or receiving your security deposit, whichever is later. You get 15 days to add to it. Documenting any damage now, like a scuffed floor, protects your deposit later.

DHS has claimed that children detained with their parents can be released to a safe family member, but Liam’s mother lives in Austin and is ready to take him, and ICE is still refusing to release him to her. It really feels like they are trying to make an example out of a little kid.

Donald Trump threatens to bomb Oman if it ‘gets in the way’ of ending Iran war
President issues threat to ‘bomb the shit out of them’ after previously threatening Gulf ally in May Donald Trump has again threatened to bomb Oman if it “gets in the way” of his effort to end the US-Israel war on Iran. “If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the shit out of them,” Trump told Fox News on Monday, the second time he has directed such a threat at Muscat, a longtime US strategic partner that has traditionally served as a key backchannel between Washington and Tehran.

No one helped. My elderly relative who saw this said she was screaming and crying. She was confused and didn't know what to do. She learned today that ICE has been busy in the Oranges. Be vigilant. Be aware and please report right away.

And started the run. A woman came out of the store and yelled, "Don't run!" More cars arrived on the scene, and more men dressed in military garb jumped out and joined the chase. The young man ran into the busy street. Another cars drove up and stopped in front of him. They grabbed him and took him.

TPS for Haitians expired yesterday. Community members, business owners, and families— all are now at risk of deportation back to a county deemed “too dangerous to visit” by the U.S. government. The ending of this program is cruel and baseless; TPS protection must be reinstated.

Rather than gates that may be difficult for people with wheelchairs, walkers, bikes or stroller to pull open, what if we considered something like these to warn paedestrians about at-grade light rail crossings in Rainier Valley?

Those that owned enslaved people in the British colonies received approximately £20 million for the freeing of slaves. More than 40,000 awards were issued. Since some of the payments were converted into 3.5% government annuities, lasting until 2015. Do they deserve more money for human trafficking?

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is good. I refuse to use the acronym. In this case, we are talking about transportation. Having diverse methods of travel should be the norm. We should not be forced to use a vehicle for everything. Traffic sucks because we are clogging the roads.

The U.S. government requires visa applicants to make all of their social media accounts fully public or risk being denied entry. This is straight out of 1984. Your right to privacy doesn’t just disappear at the border for millions of people, it disappears before they ever set foot here.

I was so proud to see the names of registered voters in my family during Reconstruction, then to see what happened to them when we were deserted by the federal government. I remember my father telling me about how he prepared for poll tests. Our votes are power; that is why they try to steal them.
