Black women are six time more likely to be homicide victims...

In Bridgeport, the families of two Black women who died on the same day were promised investigations.

Instead, police closed the cases, didn't tell them -- and won't share their findings.

Now that we are getting close to sunset, these temperatures are likely to establish new records for October 28. Hartford and Providence have new records. Boston tied its record.

@vermont_morgan @solmnambulist The chapters about the march on Winterfell in the snow are probably my favorite in the entire series.

I think the Meereen plot is interesting for the murky politics that’s going on (Green Grace, the shavepates, impact on the slave trade, diplomacy with the Yunkish, etc).

[Richard Chumney @RichChumney]

@vermont_morgan @solmnambulist I firmly believe the best book is a combined Feast + Dance.

“Only 56 percent of American workers, and an even lower percentage of workers of color, are even eligible for unpaid leave under FMLA.”

[Grace Panetta @grace_panetta]

Sunday marked 30 years since Congress passed FMLA. The groundbreaking law was supposed to be just the start and a jumping-off point — but its core promises, and the hopes of the advocates who fought for it, remain unfulfilled.
