"It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts. The more detainees, the more money they make."

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Auf dem Video sehen wir den mutmaßlichen Einsatz einer illegallen Schallkanone gegen die Demonstrierenden in Belgrad. Oder wie die Regierung es nennt, der "Was für eine Schallkanone, da istnichts passiert" Moment.

So thankful for my Austrian, Czech, German, & Ukrainian Fulbrights. Recently spent time helping evaluate Ukrainian Fulbright proposals. What kind of anti-intellectual know-nothings would put this spectacular program on hold? A plague on akk your houses until the seventh generation.

Trump & his morons have stranded students all across the globe and put the 80-year-old Fulbright program on hold. Funding has been cut off to 12,500 US citizens currently abroad and more than 7,400 foreigner scholars & students in the United States.

Study Abroad Funding Is Paused, Leaving Some Students Stranded
The Trump administration stopped State Department funding for scholarships like the Fulbright. Weeks later, it is still unclear when it may resume.
