Inside Trump’s Foreign Torture Prison, Sydney Sweeney’s “Racist” Ad, & Not Awful News
In this episode, the Newsgirls take you inside El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison where President Trump sent 252 Venezuelan migrants. Most of the prisoners had no criminal histories and the details of the psychological and physical torture they endured is just now coming to light. They speak to the Human Rights Watch about why this prison is being labeled as worse than Guantanamo.
Then, Wren & Mabel unpack the latest internet controversy- Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle jeans ad. Is it Nazi propaganda or harmless wordplay? International rage-bait to boost stock value or marketing gone wrong?
Finally, the Newsgirls bring back everyone's favorite segment- Not Awful News! From Japan’s fake blood trials to coffee’s insane health benefits to the science of tickling, you’ll leave (hopefully) with a smile :)
