My 8 year old daughter just came up to me and whispered “I can’t wait!” I thought she was talking about Santa. Turns out she’s talking about her #COVIDVaccineKids that she is getting later today!

Well Twitter, it’s been nice knowing you. I guess Twitter will be joining @facebook and @instagram as apps I’ve deleted.

I recognize that some change is coming to our city, whether we like it or not. We shouldn't stick our heads in the sand and pretend this isn't happening. #kristin4thewin https://t.co/k7xCr0pu7t

Did you know that the original Jack-o-Lanterns used TURNIPS instead of pumpkins?

It wasn't until Irish immigrants arrived in states like Massachusetts that they found pumpkins were a bit easier.

More on that and the history of other Halloween traditions coming up on @GBHNews!

All eastbound lanes remain closed on Storrow Drive w/ traffic being diverted onto Western Ave. in Brighton, after last night’s bridge strike. Tractor-trailer hit train bridge just prior to the BU Bridge on Storrow East. Truck will not be removed until after AM commute. #MATraffic

BREAKING: Two people are dead - a woman and teen girl - and seven are wounded after a shooting this morning at Central Visual & Performing Arts High School in St. Louis.

We’re the only high income country where children aren’t safe in their schools.

It remains entirely unacceptable that Clarence Thomas does not recuse himself from anything related to the 2020 election, which his wife sought to overturn.

We must apply the Judicial Code of Ethics to the Supreme Court and establish an investigative arm to enforce it.

This is why the hate speech of one influential person matters & opposing it is important:

UPDATE: The two nurses shot outside Methodist hospital in Dallas today are dead. The suspect was a criminal on parole and he was wearing "an active ankle monitor.”

Spare me your bullshit about how Gov Abbott is “tough on crime.” THIS IS LAWLESSNESS: https://t.co/nniHmXXtR6

Wouldn’t something like this (smaller scale of course) be great in Solana Beach on Cedros maybe? Thoughts?

Boris Johnson has escaped from Elba, has landed in Cornwall, and is marching on London.

@ScottVernaglia I heard that. SO BAD so early in the season.

[Katie Brigham (she/her) @kbrigham78]

This is so bad and DC isn’t alone with this. Afraid of what winter is going to look like.

Bigger corporate profits account for *over half* of the higher prices people are paying.

Heartbreaking, but not surprising. The systemic inequities also intersect and layer upon each other for many patients. There is also profound moral injury for providers who know full well that they are providing substandard care within broken systems. https://t.co/RnGiuZIkQZ

@kristin4thewin I see the city was supposed to respond by the end of Sept. Was there any response?
