ICE Detains a Respected Immigrant Journalist - The New Yorker (No

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=205814&nl=daily]
La Boca del Lobo, a 2019 Times short documentary, follows the work of
Mario Guevara, a reporter based in the outskirts of Atlanta who has a
large audience among Latino immigrants in the area. In one scene, a
woman tells Guevara that her husband, who had just been detained by
ICE agents, had walked into la boca del lobo (into the wolfs mouth, an
expression meaning into the lions den). The immigration-enforcement
agency had more than quadrupled noncriminal arrests in Atlanta in the
2017 fiscal year and was causing havoc in Spanish-speaking
communities. Guevara, a forty-seven-year-old Salvadoran immigrant, is
the only reporter in Atlanta (and possibly in the United States) who
has been covering these raids every day for years. Mr. Guevaras job,
and his obsession, is to stalk the wolf, Jesse Moss, the director of
the video, wrote in an accompanying piece for the Times.

Quantum Physics Is Nonsense, Says Breakthrough Prize Winner Gerard t

In the pantheon of modern physics, few figures can match the quiet
authority of Gerard t Hooft. The theoretical physicist, now a
professor emeritus at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, has spent
much of the past five decades reshaping our understanding of the
fundamental forces that knit together reality. But t Hoofts
unassuming, soft-spoken manner belies his towering scientific stature,
which is better revealed by the mathematical rigor and deep physical
insights that define his workand by the prodigious numbers of
prestigious prizes he has accrued, which include a Nobel Prize, a Wolf
Prize, a Franklin Medal, and many more.

Listening to the daily news, with stories of war and conflict, can be
disheartening. Unsurprisingly, data suggest that a majority of
Americans feel exhausted and hopeless when they think about politics.
Some psychologists have argued that Americans suffer from a sort of
learned helplessness - the sense that nothing we do will make a
difference - from hearing about violence such as mass shootings. We
feel the pain of events in the news cycle but see ourselves as
powerless to stop them.

World leaders adapt to Trump's erratic diplomacy with flattery

World leaders are adapting strategies to manage U.S. President Donald
Trump during his second term. They focus on flattery, patience, and
meeting his demands when possible. At recent summits, leaders
navigated Trump's unpredictable style, which often includes threats,
rapid policy shifts, and a disdain for traditional diplomacy. During a
NATO summit Wednesday, members worked to appease Trump by agreeing to
increase defense spending, though some, like Spain, resisted. Trump
also claimed credit for brokering a fragile ceasefire between Israel
and Iran. While Trump declared NATO "not a ripoff," experts warn his
approach risks undermining the alliance's unity and goals.
