Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Sickening

We should not expect them to understand that refusing a visa is usually an act of hostility, should we?

Clear evidence that employers rate workers with foreign-sounding accents as having lower verbal and math skills.

This gap persists even when employers are provided with explicit performance signals.

Le programme TV pendant le communisme était juste incroyable.

Aujourd'hui, 22 décembre, on fête 36 ans de la chute du #communisme en #Roumanie.

The #TV schedule planned for 22 December 1989, had a revolution not changed the regime, was simply #incredible.
