Not surprising, but not right
This shows the true scope of these layoffs — and it’s deeper than numbers on a page.
These numbers aren’t just statistics. They reflect careers, communities, and a profound shift in who gets to shape the journalism and mission of The Washington Post.

I’ve been laid off a week and I’ve already gone to doctors appointments I’ve put off, organized things that needed to be done. Just a reminder of how much self care you sacrifice for work.

If you can’t see the depth to Bad Bunny’s performance than you havent done your research
If Bad Bunny can cover the history of Puerto Rico, colonialism, transatlantic slavery, hemispheric consciousness, as well as contemporary life and politics in under 14 minutes, you can do your 15- or 20-minute conference presentation with time to spare.

But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.
