Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/NmmAzhf

the logical end state of industrial capitalism is socialism, which is why the white countries veered way at the last minute in the 70s for finance based asset bubbles

Despite being a socialist for over a dozen years, even I didn't foresee how much this system would rather commit suicide than pass a few mild social democratic & anti-corruption reforms

Don't get me wrong I think it's important to defend Liberal Arts programs as they're def under more threat but I feel like it's worth reiterating the trump admin is also doing a scorched earth jihad on academia generally. brennancenter.org/our-work/r…

The animus of Trump 2 this entire time has been systematically gutting the material foundation for a sustained and educated opposition to the right. The liberal arts programs and the people they support are one of these foundations. Therefore, they must go

Genuinely don’t know what can be said about the federal student loan regulations. Pure boomerslop faux-frugality exploited for the sole purpose of further eviscerating academia. Just a complete and total spit in the face of the humanities

Up until fairly recently, uranium from Niger powered 1 in every 3 lightbulbs in France, yet 90% of Niger didn't have electricity.
'For half a century, Niger’s uranium has lit cities across Europe, while our cities remained in DARKNESS' — Niger's PM scolds UNGA 'That injustice is OVER'

Halifax demolished a Black community that had stood for more than a century — and moved the residents out in the city's GARBAGE TRUCKS. Africville, Nova Scotia. It was settled in the 1800s by Black Loyalists and refugees from slavery. Families owned their land and paid city taxes for generations. What they never received was service. No running water. No sewers. No paved roads. No police protection worth the name. What the city DID put there: an open dump, a prison, a slaughterhouse, and an infectious diseases hospital — all sited next to a Black neighbourhood, one after another, over decades. Then in the 1960s the city declared it a slum and cleared it for industrial development and a bridge approach. Compensation was minimal. Some families received a few hundred dollars. And the removals were carried out, in a detail nobody in Halifax has ever been able to explain away, using municipal garbage trucks. The church was bulldozed in the middle of the night so there would be no gathering. Halifax apologised in 2010 and funded a replica of the church as a museum. They built a dump beside people's homes, called the homes a dump, and then sent the bin lorries for the residents. We must never forget where we are coming from savvypurchase.samcart.com/pr…

🇳🇪 Niger’s Prime Minister Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine delivered a fiery address at the UN General Assembly, accusing France and Ukraine of backing armed proxies threatening Niger’s military positions and oil installations. “On our northeastern borders, there are proxies led by France, supported by Ukraine and two other countries.” “These proxies are armed, managed and led, and they are about to attack our military positions and our oil installations.” Zeine described the conflict in the Sahel as “a war of liberation against a conspiracy aimed at recolonization,” and accused France of destabilizing the region with Ukraine’s “active complicity.” He also pointed to the region’s natural resources: “Niger’s uranium, Mali and Burkina Faso’s gold, lithium, gas, oil and so many other riches still make the former colonial powers salivate.” And on Niger’s uranium: “For more than half a century, Niger’s uranium has lit the cities of Europe, while our cities have remained in darkness. That injustice is now over.” Niger’s government has made these accusations publicly, but the claims of French and Ukrainian support for the alleged proxies have not been independently verified.
