JD Vance displays a photo of a Black woman and says, "I want to be clear that the woman in the back did nothing wrong. But look at this woman in the front with the smug look and the Louis Vuitton bag!"

It’s been five years since Haiti’s president, Jovenel Moïse, was assassinated. While a handful of defendants have been found guilty in a US court, the complete story remains shrouded in secrecy and buried under tall tales. Below I’ll link some of my older pieces on the case:

Irony strikes again at the Freedom 250 event, of all the songs to sing, MAGA chose a “DEI” song… September by Earth, Wind & Fire 🤔

Just to be clear, then. FIFA:

1) can't possibly intervene when Iran are forced to move, a referee is denied a visa, or fans are barred from the USA

2) can absolutely intervene when a decision goes against the USA that Donald Trump doesn't like

Smashing. All know where we stand

A violent night in Boston.
Early reports say at least two people were killed and 13 people were shot across the city. Every shooting is an assault on a neighborhood.
Every victim has a family whose life is different now.
The honest conversation is not “Boston is safe” versus “Boston is a war zone.”
Both slogans do a disservice to the city.
Citywide, Boston is still near historic lows. Through June 28, before this weekend’s violence was reflected in the weekly data, BPD reported 10 homicides this year, compared with 21 at the same point last year. Shooting victims were down from last year and below the five-year average. Shooting incidents were also down.
Boston had 24 homicides in 2024. Last year, it had 31. That is still one of the lowest homicide totals in recent decades.
That matters.
But citywide averages do not tell the whole story.
From 2018 to 2023, roughly 80% of shootings were concentrated in Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, Mattapan, and Roxbury.
About 4 in 5 victims were Black.
So when someone says, “Boston is safe,” the honest response is: safe for whom, and where?
A person in Beacon Hill can experience one Boston. A family in my neighborhood, Roxbury, can experience another.
The police staffing issue is real. Boston has a legal benchmark of 2,500 officers. The department is reportedly hundreds below that. Retirements spiked after 2018. Forced overtime and burnout are real public-safety problems.
But that is not the same as saying police hiring alone will solve concentrated violence.
More staffing may help response times, officer wellness, and basic coverage. That matters. But it does not, by itself, explain why shootings are concentrated in a small number of neighborhoods and networks.
The real question is bigger:
What are we doing before the shooting?
What are we doing after the hospital visit?
What are we doing for the young person most likely to be shot or to shoot?
Boston already has parts of the answer: hospital-based violence intervention, community violence intervention, focused deterrence, neighborhood outreach, resident coalitions, youth jobs, housing stability, and economic investment.
Those programs need stable funding, real measurement, and long-term commitment — not one press conference after one violent weekend.
The questions for Boston leaders should be:
• Are we staffing police in a way that protects both residents and officers?
• Are we investing enough in violence prevention in the neighborhoods where shootings are concentrated?
• What funding is guaranteed when federal violence-prevention dollars disappear?
• And are we building housing, jobs, opportunity, and trust in Roxbury, Mattapan, Dorchester, and every neighborhood carrying the loss?
The victims deserve more than slogans.
Boston can be safer than it used to be and still unsafe for the families living closest to the violence.
Police officers can need support and still not be the whole answer.
Public safety is response, prevention, trust, and investment and needs to be sustained for years, not just argued for one news or election cycle.

Jaylen Brown is a 76er today, because the owner of the Boston Celtics doesn't really own the Boston Celtics. This is the latest depressing example of Private Equity controlling sports

Crazy

[FearBuck @FearedBuck]

Jaylen Brown said he tried to enter the Boston Celtics facility after he was traded but his key card was rejected.

“I went up to the facility, my key card got rejected, damn I just wanted to see if it was real, packed me up bro”

[Dante Turo @DanteOnDeck]

Jaylen Brown was the third overall pick in 2016 and was booed on draft night. He was benched during the Kyrie/Hayward era, and signed a contract extension nobody believed he deserved. He proceeded to improve every. single. season. and eventually help the Celtics raise Banner 18, all while doing absolutely NOTHING wrong.

Never controversial. Never an issue off the court. He always played hard and never complained. Boston just lost one of the greatest players to wear a Celtics jersey. It’s a guarantee his jersey will be hanging in the rafters one day.

[positive vibes @Ms__E]

The silence by the Boston Celtics organization is very telling .. still no post
