There are few stories, apart from the Epstein files, that have spent more than a week or two in the collective consciousness.

I think that's by design. It's no secret that the TikTok algorithm (or rather, short-form video in general) and LLM's have a destructive effect on a person's cognitive abilities and attention span. Schoolteachers are dealing with the worst of this phenomenon.

That said, it's a good reminder.

Also a good reminder that your power to create change is local, if you're courageous enough to get involved, because without Alex Pretti and Renee Good, it's hard to imagine CBP having to rethink their brutality. It's not over though. Legal immigrants, children among them, are still being terrorized and chased down city streets, so it's important to help where one can.
