Dennis Lehane Says His Boston Is A Vanished World
Quote of the Day
“"We cannot sit by while constitutional protections erode and bloodshed mounts ... Portland is not a ‘training ground’ for militarized agents, and the ‘full force’ threatened by the administration has deadly consequences ... There was a time when we could take them at their word. That time is long past ... That is why we are calling on ICE to halt all operations in Portland until a full and independent investigation can take place.””
