I did my PhD at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, which has more Chinese students than any other US university. I had the privilege of teaching and collaborating with Chinese students there.

This makes me indescribably angry for them and for all of us who benefit from our work together

“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

Eksyminen on yksi pyöräilyn parhaita puolia. Kovin monta hienoa paikkaa olisi täällä pääkaupunkiseudulla jäänyt näkemättä, jos en olisi pyöräillessä vähän eksynyt. 🚴‍♂️

When Mayor-elect Mamdani takes office on January 1, he will control over 6,300 miles of streets throughout the five boroughs.

Reducing car dependence is one of the best ways to reduce costs for New Yorkers. Owning a car costs nearly $9,000 annually, while taking transit costs just $1,500.

Truly remarkable: Poland used to be a climate laggard.

Today, wind and solar are increasingly replacing coal in the Polish electricity mix with almost 30% of all electricity generated to date this year from wind and solar.

In 2000 coal provided 95% of Polish electricity.

Today it is at 51%.

Utrecht (city of 377k population) receives €562 million (NZ $1.1 billion) from the government to build tramlines to Merwede.

As the council says; “because without a tram line the city would be one massive traffic jam”.

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.

They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.
A screenshot of a social-media post. At the top, a user’s profile photo and name are shown with a verified checkmark. The post text reads, “It took a bit of time but we didn’t miss!” Below it is another embedded post from a different user, also verified, dated August 9, 2024. The embedded post reads, “If you come for the Queen, you best not miss!” followed by emojis. The photo in the embedded post shows a boxer in a red athletic uniform with a flag patch on the chest. The athlete stands in a boxing ring, looking serious and saluting with one hand. They have braided hair pulled back and wrapped hands. A screenshot of a social-media post by a verified account. The text of the post criticizes male athletes competing in women’s sports and calls for medals to be stripped. Below the text are two side-by-side photos. The photo on the left shows a boxer on a podium wearing a white jacket and holding a gold medal with one hand placed over their chest. The photo on the right shows another athlete wearing a white jacket holding up a gold medal and a tall award box. Both images appear to be from medal ceremonies at a sporting event.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…
