More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And…

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t worry because if they’re detained, agents will “promptly let the individual go.”

For these Americans, that wasn’t true.

It is weird to this old fart to see legendary artists like David Byrne, Iggy Pop and Moby playing second fiddle to Sabrina Carpenter and Justin Bieber.

Long-term unemployment at post-pandemic high, straining workers and economy The US economy is seeing a rise in long-term unemployment, with over 1.9 million Americans out of work for 27 weeks or more, sparking concerns about the labor market.

More than 1 in 4 workers without jobs have been unemployed for at least six months, new data shows.

That number is a post-pandemic high and a level typically only seen during periods of economic turmoil.

An article noteworthy solely for its attempt to break the record for most frequent use of the word "buzzy."

Two themes have emerged in my myriad media classes: stressing the importance of accuracy over immediacy, and developing a long view of interaction (online or off), as something more than a mere transaction for personal gain.
