Sigh. I teach my students how to find secondary sources. So many don’t follow my directions and confess this in office hours when I ask. So we use some of the “tricks” I showed them to search for themes specific to their paper and their jaws will literally drop at how easy it would have been.

Attempted child rape, domestic violence, detainee sexual abuse & taking bribes are among ICE & immigration officials' documented crimes. Experts say this pattern of crimes committed by immigration officials could accelerate given the sheer volume of new employees compounded by poor hiring practices.

In a moment that calls for courage, we get this:
Gallup announces, after 88 years, it will no longer track public approval of presidents. Trump's second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, among the lowest ever recorded by the company. The president repeatedly has threatened to sue media and polling firms that portray him negatively.

Just saw a scented laundry product commercial. The actor said she washed the dog’s blanket a month ago, takes the blanket up to her nose and happily huffs in its scent, exclaiming it smells great. I don’t see a lot of commercials. Are they all this batshit?
