Take the train, don’t drive. The commuter rail from Boston drops you right downtown. 3 blocks and you’re right in the middle of the craziness.

Updated introduction. I'm a criminal defense lawyer from Salem and Boston, Massachusetts. I’ve argued cases from small local courts to SCOTUS. I post about criminal law, prisons, policing, climate change, and my dog.
Vegan since 1989. Drive an EV (a Bolt). Grew up a punk and metal kid, but listen widely esp funk and hip hop.
I try to boost Indigenous voices, not talk over them.
This photo was taken at the Salem Willows in Salem Massachusetts. This was after a downpour with major thunderstorms. Sometimes those are the days where you get the best sunsets. #salemwillows#salemma#sunset
