Amid growing concerns about alleged dismal conditions that a new

Alligator Alcatraz, a makeshift three thousand bed facility on swamp land.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
The conditions that we saw inside this internment camp, which
it is nothing less than that description, where really appalling.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Tour was arranged by the state after lawmakers sued to
see inside.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
And that was CBS's elease preston the Trump administration's immigration
crackdown targets of restaurant in Cambridge's Central Square, a business
owner tells the Cambridge Day Ice agents arrested three of
his chefs at an MBTA station after questioning several passengers.
One of the chefs had worked there for more than
twenty years, another for sixteen years. The owner says A
(03:15):
fourth employee, who works at another restaurant he owns, was
also arrested by Ice. The arrests were made more than
a month ago, and since then, the owner says it's
forced his Central Square restaurant to shrink its menu to
just a handful of items. Right now, it's four to
oh five. It's about seventy five degrees in Boston. Tonight,
we're gonna have mostly cloudy skies when the sun starts
(03:38):
to go down. Still that humidity sticking around with us.
A low of sixty eight degrees. Tomorrow is going to
be very similar to today what we're seeing this afternoon,
with some clouds but a lot of sunshine and those
warm temps. Highs in the eighties for tomorrow. That ammidity
definitely sticking around throughout the week. Also tomorrow, the week
(04:00):
could be seeing some thunderstorms in the afternoon and then
coming back in some spots earlier tomorrow evening with a
low of seventy two. The rest of the week, though,
Tuesday and Wednesday, it's gonna be pretty hot out there.

the thumbs up emoji? Well, some people, depending on when

Kyle Bray.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Let's say you send a text to a friend and
after all that time you spent crafting it, they just
send back a thumbs up reaction. What goes through your head?
For many young folks these days, that's a passive aggressive response.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
What else is there to say? Because like, just the
thumbs up isn't enough.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
I think sometimes it's a bit of a just a
little feeling like they're not excited about the conversation or
maybe they're upset with me.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
And that's what it comes down to, effort. If someone
can only manage a thumbs up, what else are they
holding back? For millennials and Gen xers I spoke to,
they just see a thumbs up as a harmless acknowledgment.
That doesn't mean they don't have their own pet peeves.
Speaker 8 (05:11):
If you do right, just k or okay versus like okay,
that sounds good or I'll see you later. That to
me is very passive aggressive, like minimal effort. You don't
know what people are thinking.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
If you're not elder Texters. Most gen Z folks understand
that context is important.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
I think I'm less concerned with it if it's someone
like my parents age or older, but definitely among peers,
I typically am getting things that are like more expressive
than just the thumbs up.

(06:05):
cleanup costs from both men and that they will be
properly charged. Their names have not been released at this
time as the investigation continues. An ex presidential advisor, David Gergen,
dies at eighty three years old in Lexington.

House career in the Nixon administration and also served under
