Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation
Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge?

Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked.

The ‘justification’ is campus activism or social media posts.

Great to see @drcathyhill.bsky.social and the team at @uhsft.bsky.social working on a digital guide to help children with ADHD improve sleep ⬇️
Today is #WorldSleepDay!

Watch @drcathyhill.bsky.social from @unisouthampton.bsky.social @uhsft.bsky.social take on our elevator pitch challenge.
