It's hard to describe how disorienting it is to see this many students absent. My only mental reference point is the weeks leading up to school getting canceled due to COVID-19, when students were starting to stay home due to illness or out of precaution. CBP/ICE is a plague.

SCOOP: Paul Ingrassia, a lawyer who previously represented the Tate brothers before joining the White House, chided authorities for seizing the brothers’ devices, saying it was not a good use of time or resources. He told DHS officials to give them back.
The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Meta paid $16 BILLION in taxes this year, thanks to the corporate minimum tax passed in 2022.
But don't feel bad for them.
That's the exact amount of money they pulled in last year from scam ads.

China’s CO2 emissions have now been flat or falling for 18 months, starting in March 2024.
This trend continued in the third quarter of 2025, when emissions were unchanged year-on-year.
If this trend starts to move into sustained carbon emissions reduction it would be hugely significant.
