It's not new at public universities, which have been dealing with decades of defunding. Ours (a small public university that only gets ~8% of our annual budget from the state) has a student housing crisis now because they've pushed enrollments to the limit.

Yes, yes, these are common problems in the young backsliding democracies of the former Soviet bloc and in much of autocratic Africa and East Asia, but -

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

Just got an email from the Fulbright Association. As of right now, funding has been cut off to 12,500 US citizens currently abroad and and more than 7,400 foreigner scholars and students in the United States

The press needs to frame this accurately.
It isn’t a pause on aid. That’s language designed to soft pedal it, make it go down easier.

β€œIn a bid to help Russia achieve victory on its preferred terms, Trump stops all aid to Ukraine”

This is appalling behavior. Shocking even for a dumb toad like Trump who can't help but choose the worst possible position on every single issue. We're in deep(er) sh*t.

You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What? For people who pin their failures on diversity, corporate America’s DEI retreat removes a barrierβ€”or maybe an excuse.

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of β€œaffirmative action” or β€œDEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

I have several savings accounts w/them & noticed last year that one of the larger ones wasn't earning any interest, so I called them. They said it was an older 360 savings instead of 360 "performance" savings. So I had to close the old account and open a new one to get the correct rate. Ridiculous.

Hey Elon Musk bought Twitter and so he push racist lies like this to hundreds of millions of people. The world’s biggest welfare queen is also the world’s biggest racist.

It'd be great if JD Vance could take Hegseth and Kennedy to make the rounds with R senators next
