"Is that your daughter? Come here so I can see those IDs," an agent can be heard saying in the video. "Hey, I can give it through the door," a man is heard saying in response. "You can do it right here," the agent says, pointing to the ground in front of himself. on.nbcboston.com/3phHyWE

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Adam Raine, 16, died from suicide in April after months on ChatGPT discussing plans to end his life. His parents have filed the first known case against OpenAI for wrongful death. Overwhelming at times to work on this story, but here it is. My latest on AI chatbots: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...

Don’t be afraid to share your writing. There are six Sharknado movies.

"When he was taken into custody Friday, immigration agents tied his dog to a tree and then unclipped his collar, allowing the animal to run loose on Sepulveda Boulevard"

🚨Now that the men imprisoned by the Trump admin in El Salvador are free, their stories are coming out; and they are horrific. One man describes how Salvadoran officials at the prison beat them regularly, stole money from them, and denied them medical care — even painkillers.

Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs”, per a report from Human Rights Watch

when i think of Colbert, i think of an interview he gave to GQ when he first took over The Late Show, and had this to say about losing his father and brothers in a plane crash. www.gq.com/story/stephe...

Rümeysa is one of the kindest, most compassionate people I have ever met. Many of you came to know her first and foremost as an ICE abductee, seized by a state that wanted to strip her of her humanity. I would like for you to know her in her own words, which are resoundingly human.

We're trying something new: Collections of teen art and writing around themes. This one is on friendship and even though I've read & viewed & listened to them all a billion times, they still make me tear up. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/l...

250 people detained in the Florida Everglades have no criminal convictions or pending charges.

"The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green." Happy Lottery day to you and yours.

Sarah and Brett are two of the smartest, most thoughtful and most experienced teachers I know, and I took so many notes my hands hurt. So grateful you both schlepped in on a 96-degree day.

I talked to 15 teachers/professors about how AI and ChatGPT is ruining their lives: www.404media.co/teachers-are...

NEW: We obtained DHS data that shows the US knew only 32 of the 238 Venezuelans deported to a prison in El Salvador in March were convicted of US crimes, only 6 of those violent. Trump called them “savages,” “monsters” and "the worst of the worst.” www.propublica.org/article/trum...

A Bronx high schooler showed up for a routine immigration court date. ICE was waiting. https://www.chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025/05/27/bronx-high-school-student-detained-by-immigration-ice-agents/

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

Really worth reading the interview to observe how much more hope this young man has in the promises of American freedom and its people than those who jailed him. It would be understandable if he had none.

bloomberg: ~90% of deported migrants to el salvador had no criminal record

NEW: @nytimes.com reports that the Trump admin is moving to strip hundreds of thousands of immigrants of Social Security Numbers they got when they were granted work authorization, repurposing a "death master file" to try to erase their previous legal presence in the United States.

28 years ago my doctor let me pick the date for my c-section from a week of choices, and I chose April 10 for love of The Great Gatsby. Happy 100 to that classic, and happy 28 to these classics:

I'm carving out a new beat here @propublica.org - CIVIL RIGHTS UNDER TRUMP. It's a big and important beat and one I'm thrilled ProPublica has committed to. Here's my first of many stories to come. Advocates, lawyers, teachers and fed workers. Send me your tips! [email protected]

In the ten days since Rümeysa Öztürk was detained by US ICE agents, her lawyers say their client has had three asthma attacks. During that time, ICE has not provided the detained student her inhaler, per her lawyers and three US Senators, or other medication required by law.

The administration says that criminal immigrants can be deported to a foreign forced labor prison without a hearing that could determine if the person is actually a criminal or actually an immigrant and that if it makes a mistake it can’t be rectified because the person is now outside their control.

Kudos to the student journalists at The Tufts Daily, who crashed a last-minute issue of the paper to cover the outrageous arrest and detention of Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk: issuu.com/tuftsdaily/d...

Teen Warned Not To Accept Group Chat Invites From National Security Advisors She Doesn’t Know

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

When asked about the reason for the removal of the story on the @DeptofDefense website on Jackie Robinson's military service, Pentagon press secretary John Ullyot said the following in a statement to ESPN.

This isn't anti-DEI - it's retelling history as a story with only white men in it. The tale of the Navajo Code Talkers is essential to understanding the Allies' victory in WWII. Removing it because the people involved were non-white is segregationism.

Good Lord

Three years ago, three other reporters and I ID'd and called any school accused of having litter boxes for furries. We found one (1) in the entire country: Columbine's school district. Cat litter was for a "go bucket," in case kids were locked in during a shooting. www.nbcnews.com/tech/misinfo...

I'm honestly running out of words I can use on the air to describe what's happening in and to this economy

Always look to see what the tech bros want for their own kids: small class sizes with human teachers, human tutors with expert content knowledge, cell phone restrictions in classrooms, high per pupil spending, the arts and humanities--and much more they say is too costly for public schools.

Tried to google the word count of On the Road.

Give a little love to student journalists this week. Our future depends on informed, engaged community members. That needs to start early because our young people consume so much social media from influencers who are NOT journalists.

This is incredible reporting that must shock the conscience of each and every one of us.

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle. One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

Just learned from NPR that the federal government is the largest employer in the great Kansas City area, for example. I found it helpful to be reminded that, of course, this isn’t just about people who work and live in DC. Federal employees are in all of our communities.

This was outside the Japanese restaurant I went to tonight & once I saw it I was helpless to order anything but ramen

The richest man in the world declares that the national government no longer has a Department of Education as elected officials are blocked from finding out what is going on. Factual descriptions of American government right now sound positively dystopian

Black History is American History.

We think the world will always be how it is now. But I think we need to imagine a world in which there are too few migrants, and many more nations competing to attract them. This is the first in a series I'll be publishing about global migration. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/o...

which is why, effective today, we will be establishing the Department of Aircraft Not Colliding
