At this point I'm just assuming virtually every foreign student in the US who isn't deported is going to transfer to a school in another country to be safe.
Which means those countries are going to have a bunch of doctors, engineers, etc. in another decade. Ours, not so much.

Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked.
The ‘justification’ is campus activism or social media posts.

The people running the federal government hate New York City and want to punish people who live here for (by and large) having views and living lives that they dislike. Any gussied-up justification is working backwards from that desired result

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

The site calls out workers who have been involved with DEI initiatives. A majority are Black.

The US Department of Transportation is awarding QueensLink $400k as part of the Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program! 🥳 We intend to use this funding to perform a study to measure the social, environmental, economic, and equitable impacts of #RailsandTrails on the Rockaway Beach Branch! 🚉🌳

i’m kind of amazed at how this is just the crudest, most obvious n****rbaiting you can imagine. “the people you don’t like, yeah, they are responsible for everything bad.” and it works!

Honestly, what’s the benefit of this for Honda? At least in North America their products are way more compelling and have a much better reputation than Nissan. Also, what a sad fall from grace for Nissan (and Infiniti) who were absolutely killing it in the 2000s
Honda and Nissan are discussing a possible merger, potentially bringing together two Japanese automaking titans that have recently fallen on hard times.

It’s fascinating how this map *almost* tracks with 1-to-1 with subway service. Even closer if you focus on areas robustly served. Really stark visual of how having effective transit can impact a neighborhood socially, politically, etc.
City of Yes just passed the NYC City Council with a vote of 31-20. 🗽
Here is a map of that vote per council district.

Honestly this is such an emblematic way the right uses culture as a wedge for capital. All it took was one right wing VC going on Joe Rogan and making up some bs about how they target MAGA and now every trump supporters wants to take away one of the most populist and pro-consumer orgs in the US
Elon Musk has called to "delete" the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, days after the CFPB finalized a rule increasing oversight of nonbank digital payments to reduce fraud.
