"triggering alarms" eh. The bbc yesterday used something like that yesterday; "raising concern" "sounding alarm" something like that. The Guardian used "Elon's controversial salute".
Headline writers: Stop. It's not working. (Propublica, bless you, please don't take this the wrong way, it's more about corporate news but since you've used it as well . . )
We all went through four years of "raising alarms" and "very concerned" and "may be planning" and "seems to" in the headlines. Just stop. We're not doing that now. If you want to crank out sludge and bland oatmeal for the sake of living another day, fine. But it's not helping anyone but yourselves.
Say what it *is*. Use simple words, and don't waffle. If you can't say "Nazi" for some reason, find useful substitutes for it. "Contrary to common sense' for example.
All this immigrant stuff, all it does is make people hate America and fuels the human trafficking scene. The Republicans have installed a faucet to streamline the capturing and abuse of migrant children. Think about it. If you are smuggling people across the border, people without any other options, when we have such harsh penalties all it does is give cartels more leverage over people. It's so horrible.
