In a normal circumstance, I hate Netflix. However, they struck a deal to produce new episodes of Sesame Street and will ensure that the episodes remain free and accessible on PBS for all kids and for that, they deserve gratitude.

Additionally, unlike the deal previous struck with HBO, this one with Netflix also makes its so new episodes are simultaneously available via Netflix, PBS, and the PBS Kids app.

Please continue to support Sesame Street and all the other PBS programming via donations to ensure everyone, kids and adults alike, continue to have access to educational viewing.

"Degrading, dehumanizing, horrendous:" Fabian Schmidt on 2 months in ICE detention

May 13, 2025 Updated  May 14, 2025

Fabian Schmidt, who is originally from Germany, made it clear that he’s proud to be in America, but said he’s still reeling from his unexpected two-month detention that he described as “dehumanizing.”

The lawful permanent resident, who has lived in New Hampshire since 2022, was stopped at Logan International Airport on March 7 after visiting family in Europe. He spoke to GBH News on Tuesday about the experience and trying to readjust back to his normal life after his release.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection declined to answer questions about Schmidt’s case but the agency denies allegations of mistreatment at Logan.
