I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

If you didn't pay close attention to the Portland protests in 2020, and you want to know how bad the ICE protests in LA could get with federal troops on the ground -- I worked on a podcast that recorded the worst of it as it happened. "The Fault Line: Dying for a Fight" on all the things.

Trump says farmers are "being hurt badly" by deportations. "You go into a farm and you look and people, they've been there for 20 or 25 years and worked great and the owner of the farm loves them and you're supposed to throw them out?" "We can't do that to our farmers and leisure, too, hotels."
