I used to argue from a media criticism lens that it was wrong for legacy pubs to intersperse "Lifestyle" articles with consequential stories about how global events affect people's survival and thriving. But I've come around to viewing it as a useful/clarifying artifact of elite preoccupations.

Screen grab of the front page of the NYT at 3:40 p.m. central time on October 4, 2026. The leftmost two-thirds is devoted to consequential world events. The top story is headlined "In a Major Boost for the Right, Another Bolsonaro Nears Brazil Presidency." Below that is a story headlined "Trapped In a Kill Zone, a Ukrainian City is Beginning to Starve." The right 1/3 of the page is devoted to "Lifestyle" stories; a real estate story, a story that is basically an advertorial for Netflix (The Best Movies and TV Shows Coming to Netflix in October), and a story I've circled, "Should I Be Wearing Sheer Black Stockings."

ICE took two more people from my local courthouse today. The wife of one of the guys who was taken showed up shortly after. She just had surgery. She was worried about paying rent and feeding her kids. This is happening *every day* in Massachusetts. Lives are being destroyed every single day.

Will is 100% right. Has happened to multiple clients of mine. One judge (not my case) has said that this isn't really release and ordered the person *actually* released. But it's forcing us habeas attorneys to win our cases twice (or more)

On September 9, 2026, Respondents permitted Pablo F. to exit the building where
he was detained, but he was immediately swarmed by four ICE officers and handcuffed as
soon as he stepped outside. (Doc. No. 25-3 at 4:48:45–4:49:26.)3
The officers drove him
to the back of the Whipple building and returned him to a holding cell. (Doc. No. 21 ¶¶ 8–
9; Doc. No. 25 ¶ 5.) During this encounter, officers dislocated Pablo F.’s shoulder. (Doc.
No. 21 ¶ 7.)4
Pablo F. now bringsthis Motion seeking to enforce the Court’s Order granting
the Petition.

Again, Respondents make no attempt whatsoever to support their assertion that
Pablo F. was released. Absent any such argument, the Court cannot agree that a reasonable
person would have felt free to leave when exiting the detention facility and immediately
being stopped by ICE officers. Likewise, absent some argument, the Court necessarily
concludes that Pablo F. was subject to restraints not shared by the public generally when
he took one step outside of the detention facility and was immediately stopped by ICE
officers who forcibly returned him to a detention cell. Because Respondents do not make
any legal argument that Pablo F. was ever meaningfully released from custody, the Court
grants the motion and orders Pablo F.’s release.6
6 To be clear, Pablo F. is not arguing, and the Court is not concluding, that an order of
release in a habeas matter renders unlawful any future arrests. Rather, the Court reaches
the narrow conclusion that because Respondents advance no legal argument in this case to
support their assertion that Pablo F. was released from custody, and because the
uncontested facts show that ICE officers immediately swarmed Pablo F. as soon as he
stepped out of the building, Pablo F. was not released from custody.

This is a great question, especially since I spend a lot of time sitting with shared challenges in the municipal and school finance spaces. Most left leaning parents I know love lefty ideas like "high floor" and "shared weight" but can't close the door on their kids "earning" something "better."

I do wonder about what level of disclosure about past harms we want from people, how we think about the harmed person and if they want the harm disclosed, and WHY we want the harm disclosed—and is it so we can avoid being tainted by association.

This isn't just a think piece saying they disagree with PEN America; they actually went back and examined at the data and reporting — including a key claim that a literary agent was selling far fewer books by Jewish and Israeli authors in the US — and found it lacking. Fascinating work.

Becky Dernbach continues to be the best education journalist in Minnesota, and this is the most accurate summary of last night’s meeting at Camden High School.

Leonard stepped up to the mic.

“I have a hard time listening to a conversation about resources in a community that’s constantly experiencing limited resources and doing amazing work,” he said. “Who are the district leaders that are going to stand up for Black children in this community specifically?
