This week Matthew and I try to make sense of a dizzying array of crappy stories. How do we stay on top of the news when it is non-stop terrible? Big thanks to Hamed Aleaziz (@Haleaziz) who has been reporting on big stories, including the asylum winner who is being blocked from entry into the U.S., the asylum seekers being deported to Guatemala, and the horrendous medical treatment provided in ICE facilities. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/hamedaleaziz/ice-immigrant-surgeries-deaths-jails-whistleblower-secret https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-immigration-guatemala/u-s-asylum-seekers-sent-to-guatemala-preferring-to-return-to-home-countries-idUSKBN1YH07S If this week's show feels a little discombobulated it's probably because that's how we feel.
