this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)
ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.

The mother's family pleaded with federal officers for her release from custody to say her final goodbyes to her son, but their requests went unanswered.

Tom, you're possibly one of the biggest users of the term "synth-rock". Everytime you claim that a song is "synth-rock", it's automatically placed as that genre.

I'm guessing "As It Was" will be rated a 4/10 (or a 6/10) on The Number Ones then?

Tom, I have a question regarding Stereogum; if any artist the website's writers (including you) cover on columns like Chained To The Rhythm and The Number Ones use AI in their songs (or tiny elements of it), what would happen to Stereogum as a whole?

Where is Maroon 5? Their (well, his, beause it's just Adam Levine and session musicians at this point) new album peaked at #36 and dropped off after a week. Even Jordi managed to last longer on the charts! (stayed for 20 weeks).
