Have you heard of Kittie Knox? She was the first African American accepted by the League of American Wheelmen, and she rode some of the same streets you may ride! 🚲

This story includes figures like 2, 20, 31.4 and 52 trillion dollars. It's really hard to get your head around the scale of this. It's estimated that fewer than 120 billion people have been born in the whole of human history. That is just 12% of ONE trillion.

What's on the mind of Massachusetts voters? The state of democracy, abortion, licenses for undocumented immigrants. Here's what I heard today in Allston @GBHNews
“In the last few years, with different issues that have arisen both personally and globally, I wanna make sure we’re making a difference in the long term - and by casting that ballot now it does have that ripple effect.” @GBHNews #ElectionDay
— Julia Stiller, Cambridge, MA
“You have to vote. You have to get out and vote. I don’t feel like there’s another option.” @GBHNews #ElectionDay
— Lucy Sweeney, Somerville, MA
“The midterm elections are big, big, big. Today is really important for the whole country. To me it’s a do-or-die day for the country. It’s gonna determine what’s gonna happen the next couple of years.”
— German Sanchez, Medford, MA @GBHNews #ElectionDay
“I’m a young individual, so at this point it’s important to get used to and accustomed to voting…get into the habit of it. I’m an immigrant. I’m a U.S. citizen and I think being able to speak my voice is what’s important to me.” @GBHNews #ElectionDay
— Raul Ramos, Medford, MA
“At the end of the day we all have to govern from the middle. Extreme positions don’t really do anything, but it creates so much noise.”
— Mo Saeed, Malden, MA @GBHNews #ElectionDay
#HappyHalloween from a cave in @TheCityofLynn that might contain buried treasure, could be haunted, and was definitely dug in the 1800s by a man who believed he was being directed to by ghosts.
