SUNY already has programs like this that the rest of the country should be investing in instead of allowing these capitalist vultures to continue privatizing public good.
I have two senior auditors in my community college classes; one signed up for all my other classes after auditing last semester.

That is nearly $20,000 Canadian dollars to stay in a country whose federal government has authorized the detention and often violent arrest of thousands of people as well as the construction of several more concentration camps.

it is very odd to see the US decline by so many metrics and remember I nearly paid $14,460 USD for an immigration application that would have only been valid for three years

This is somewhat more of an old-fashioned ICE ruse. Arguably this is a sign of the agency going back to more standard “targeted enforcement” tactics designed to be not as disruptive as the more recent aggro-style arrests. Watch for more like this to come.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

🚨ICE just got access to one of its biggest private detention center operators last night, thanks to a Navy contract.
The move lets ICE bypass normal contracting processes to tap GEO Group to operate its detention centers as they race to buy detention sites to house 92,000 detainees nationwide.

ICE Gains Fast-Track Access to Private Prison Giant as It Plans to Nearly Double Detention Capacity
Navy contract allows immigration agency to bypass normal bidding and hire one of its largest detention operators directly as it plans to add 92,000 beds by November

I am good-faith curious how Canadians in Canadian urbanism spaces are squaring both the possibilities/desire for change vis-à-vis "not-US car heavy urbanism" AND ALSO the Canadian government about to (try to) push a massive number of migrant workers out of the country.
I’ve been thinking about Canada’s intention to become more economically independent from the United States, and to connect more with Europe.
We should do the same thing with our city-building.
Our city-building has always been too influenced by the U.S, especially with car dependency.
Thoughts?

Have you seen this? This recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips that are by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social

Not all of the best universities in the country are on the list, and not all of the universities on the list are the best the country, but damn, it's a pretty good list of some of the best universities in the country. They're the kind of universities we want military officers to be able to attend.

A few hours ago, Montréal protesters marched against GardaWorld, a company based in the city + taking DHS $$$ (ICE/CBP)...and using QC taxpayer dollars to do so.
They were met with a massive amount of teargas and riot cops. Via @axeltardieu.bsky.social on Insta:
