@Glo_Reuben I think you are bringing the @RedSox good luck tonight. Too bad @NESN forgot to mention you as they slobbered all over @DonnieWahlberg. But who can blame them. Go Sox.
🇺🇸 Most Americans have never heard of Patriots Day, and almost no one outside the U.S. knows it exists.
Yet it’s one of the most action-packed holidays in the country, and it holds a lot of significance.
Celebrated only in Massachusetts and Maine, it marks the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the opening shots of the American Revolution.
Every year, on the third Monday of April (today), Boston holds its marathon at dawn, the Red Sox play a morning home game at America’s oldest ballpark, and reenactors fire muskets at each other in the suburbs.
In 2013, two bombs were detonated near the finish line, killing 3 people and injuring hundreds more.
The following year, Boston came back with record crowds lining the route, the city's defiance becoming as much a part of the day's identity as the race itself.
The world's oldest annual marathon, a sold-out ballpark, a 250-year-old battle, and the stubborn refusal to be broken, all on the same morning, all in the same city.
“Considering the defense they'll be facing i the Chargers, they Patriots might need to rely on some plays they haven't used much or at all to get the momentum in their favor.” Just read that in a media output. Does anyone proofreads anymore? It’s painful.
I’m grateful to have met Jack yesterday, whose owner reminded me of the lengths people go to care for their dogs as they age. The love people have for their dogs knows no bounds, because their dogs’ love for them knows no bounds either. 🙌
For nearly 20 years, Heather Walker impacted the lives of countless Celtics players through mentorship, leadership and most importantly, friendship 🫶

A retired police officer found a new calling with a mobile laundry bus, washing clothes for people who are homeless and offering dignity, one load at a time. @SteveHartmanCBS is On the Road in Maryland.
The poorest are not only objects of our compassion, but teachers of the Gospel. It is not a question of “bringing” God to them, but of encountering Him among them. Serving the poor is not a gesture to be made “from above,” but an encounter between equals, where Christ is revealed and adored. #JubileeOfThePoor #DilexiTe
“When Trump dies, history won't remember him as a king or a savior. History will remember him as a small, ugly, sick man who happened to seize great power, who wielded it recklessly, & who left behind a trail of destruction, corruption, & cowardice unmatched in American history.”
@broadwaybabyto If I have one more person tell me to try yoga or meditation for my chronic pain I will poke them in the eye and then hit them in the shin with a crowbar. Let’s see if their helpful recommendations work.
It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.
