No international student for Harvard. Another lawsuit or a win for the administration?

[Special Envoy Kristi Noem @EnvoyNoem]

This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus.

It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments.

Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused.

They have lost their Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a result of their failure to adhere to the law.

Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country.

I like OpenAI’s mission of 'ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity”, and I’d like to stop them from completely gutting it.
I’ve signed on to a new letter to @AGRobBonta & @DE_DOJ asking them to halt the restructuring. (1/2)

Appalled by the devastating loss of life in yesterday’s heinous attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.

Sweden strongly condemns this terrorist attack that killed many innocent civilians.

Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and loved ones. Sweden stands with the people of India on this very sad occasion.

När poliser hånas och filmas försvåras inte bara deras tjänsteutövning – det underminerar hela Polisens auktoritet.

Sådant får inte tillåtas och måste mötas med resoluta ingripanden. Därför inför vi ett nytt brott: Förolämpning mot tjänsteman. Lagen träder i kraft den 2 juli.

Under alldeles för lång tid har gängkriminella i alldeles för stor utsträckning tillåtits att förolämpa och förlöjliga poliser utan konsekvenser. Det har inneburit negativa psykologiska effekter på omgivningen och framför allt unga, i synnerhet i utsatta områden.

När kriminella uppträtt dominerande mot poliser har det stärkt deras ställning i områden där statens makt är utmanad. Maktbalansen har ytterligare flyttats till fördel för de kriminella, och gjort dem än mer fruktade i områden där det sker omfattande utpressning och där människor är rädda för att vittna och anmäla brott.

I dessa områden har Polismyndigheten beskrivit att situationen innebär att det är svårt eller nästintill omöjligt för polisen att fullfölja sitt uppdrag.

Det nya brottet förolämpning mot tjänsteman är en viktig del av en bredare offensiv för att återta kontrollen. Med en tydlig kriminalisering får poliser ett bättre stöd i lagstiftningen att direkt ingripa mot den som medvetet provocerar. I stället för att dra sig tillbaka under glåpord, ska polisen ingripa med fasthet och markera vem som bestämmer.

Det har ett enormt signalvärde.

My heart goes out to the victims of one of the deadliest shootings in Sweden. Over 10 dead, according to the police.

[Supantha @Tech_Correspond]

The attack took place in a school about two hours away from the capital Stockholm. It is unclear who the attacker was. Automatic guns were involved.

@JohnOBrennan2 Hello Prof. O'Brennan - sent you an email. Please have a look.

Counterfeits are a major problem while buying online. Customers can never be fully sure that they are buying a genuine product.

[Scott Adams @ScottAdamsSays]

The Amazon counterfeit product scandal is way worse than I thought. It’s massive. I wouldn’t hold the stock until it gets sorted out.

100% of the Dilbert calendars on Amazon are fake. I don’t sell the calendar on Amazon. And Amazon has an (intentionally) broken system for reporting the fakes. The fakes come faster than the reporting system.

I’m hearing incredible stories of Amazon abusing American small business owners by essentially being accomplices in stealing their work and giving it to China. The system is so robust that ANY successful American product China can copy gets knocked off.

More on that story today.
