Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

‘Utterly Abusive’: First Nations United Against Mark Carney’s Alberta Pipeline Plans
By tying the project’s fate to Indigenous “equity,” Carney saddles groups with the blame, and potentially the bill, if they move to stop a pipeline they oppose.

Really interesting thread.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

This is kind of the endgame of the student loan crisis, the college experience has become bloated and so expensive that students are treated like customers who can't be wrong, lest they decide to take their business elsewhere.
