    Two-thirds of the voters in Massachusetts don’t belong to either major political party, but in a primary they must choose between one party’s ballot and the other. I support Question 3 because it allow them to fully participate in the electoral process. @vote_yeson3ma

    (3rd) This is not the way the system should work. It reminds us yet again that America’s immigration law and the agency primarily charged with enforcing it must be overhauled.

    (2nd) The agency then refrained from releasing information about them, leaving their friends, family and employers in the dark. And it failed yet again to notify our police department of its operations, putting at risk police officers who might arrive on scene.

    Yesterday’s arrests in our city underscore that even under new management, ICE continues to overreach. It grabbed at least eight individuals who were going about their morning routines. There is no indication that any of them had criminal records beyond motor vehicle violations.

    In 1907, the James B. Congdon School opened its doors to children in the South End. Today was its last opening day, as the new Congdon-DeValles School will open in January. The kids today I suspect were no less excited to begin school than their counterparts 119 years ago.

    A perfect day to unveil our statue of Herman Melville on the grounds of the Seaman’s Bethel — the “Whaleman’s Chapel” in Moby Dick. Many thanks to Stefanie Rocknak for her masterful rendering, and Sam Wasterston for his stirring performance of Father Mapple’s sermon.

    The @Zeiterion’s Bill Murray Marathon was a clever idea, and it was fun to have the man himself appear in person to reminisce about his illustrious career.
