Four US university tutors are in hospital after they were stabbed by an unknown assailant at a public park in China.The Iowa Cornell College instructors were injured in a "serious incident" during a daytime visit to the park in Jilin province, northern China, a college statement said.Iowa Representative Adam Zabner said his brother, David, was one of the four injured in the incident, which he described as a stabbing.He said the group had been visiting a local temple on Monday when they were attacked by a man with a knife.Mr Zabner said his brother had been stabbed in the arm at Beishan Park and was recovering in hospital.
"He has not yet been released this morning but he's doing ok," he told CBS News.A US State Department spokesperson told the BBC they were aware of reports of a stabbing incident in Jilin, but could not provide more information.Cornell College said the four instructors had been teaching "as part of a partnership with a university in China".
The group had been accompanied by a member of Beihua University at the time of their visit to the park on Monday.Chinese authorities are yet to respond on the incident, however images of the aftermath were quickly shared on social media.Images circulating appear to show at least three people bleeding and lying on the ground.
However the incident appears to have been quickly censored on China's internet.
On Tuesday, searches for terms such as "foreigners Jilin" produced no results despite the search term trending on Weibo.Internet users instead resorted to discussions under adjacent topics while some were also seen asking for more information about the incident.There have also few reports about the incident in Chinese state media.Mr Zabner said his brother, a Tufts University doctoral student, had visited China before and was on his second trip to the country with Cornell College.Amid tense diplomatic relations, Beijing and Washington have sought to re-establish people-to-people exchanges in recent times.Chinese President Xi Jinping has unveiled a plan to invite 50,000 young Americans to China in the next five years, while Chinese diplomats say a travel advisory by the US State Department has discouraged Americans from going to China.
Yes, allegedly $1 billion per year over the next fifteen years plus $500 million for the tolling infrastructure. However, the MTA board could override the governor if they really need the money.
Looks like the WaPo will probably start to enshittify too. It's sad to hear; and it doesn't bode well for them. Undoubtedly their true journalism will no longer exist under the new leadership and everyone will be afraid to be bold or write anything too shocking.
The move reeks of corpo profit-chasing; and was probably ignited by their CEO falling for the usual Trump/Musk/Zuck garbage spew.

“After careful consideration I have come to the difficult decision that implementing the planned congestion system risks too many unintended consequences for New Yorkers at this time,” Hochul said during a video briefing from her office in Manhattan.
A source familiar with the Governor’s plan said Hochul pushed for the delay due to concerns about affordability and the potential impact to the city’s post-pandemic economic recovery.
Congestion pricing has been fiercely opposed by some members in the state legislature and New York’s congressional delegation, including some who represent districts outside the five boroughs and worry the toll will result in political backlash from their constituents in a crucial election year, which was part of the governor’s calculus in opting for the delay, the sources said.
City Councilmember Joe Borelli, a Republican who represents parts of Staten Island where the plan is deeply unpopular, said the governor’s decision was blatantly political.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who represents a congressional district that largely covers a swathe of southern Brooklyn, sought to take a middle path.
“To the extent immediate implementation of congestion pricing is being reconsidered, Leader Jeffries supports a temporary pause of limited duration to better understand the financial impact on working class New Yorkers who have confronted a challenging inflationary environment as a result of the pandemic.

Ms. Buzbee told them that a new organizational structure created by Mr. Lewis — effectively splitting the Washington Post newsroom and opinion section into three smaller divisions — didn’t work for her.
The stunning call — which some attendees described as funereal — added to the growing tension between the newsroom and Mr. Lewis, who has set about remaking The Post since he started in January.
A spokeswoman for The Washington Post declined to say whether Jeff Bezos, the owner of the newspaper, was aware of or approved the leadership changes announced on Sunday evening.
Mr. Murray, 58, was introduced to The Post’s newsroom on Monday, in a town-hall meeting that kicked off with a long round of applause for Ms. Buzbee, according to several people in attendance.
During the meeting on Monday, the executives were grilled by reporters at The Post on the lack of diversity in the hires replacing Ms. Buzbee — Mr. Murray, Mr. Winnett and Mr. Shipley are white men.
Near the end of the meeting on Monday, Kainaz Amaria, The Post’s national visual enterprise editor, said that Ms. Buzbee’s treatment “didn’t feel fair,” adding that the circumstances of her exit could make it difficult to trust new leadership.
True that! It’s ironic how they think they’re the “Lord’s Army”, when if we used their own obsession with Revelations as a comparison they’re clearly the false christians worshiping their false prophet that’s preaching the prosperity gospel, and following their anti-christ leader Trump.
Now they’re just waiting for their Third Temple so Jesus can reappear, completely oblivious to the fact that if they ever got their deluded wish they’d immediately just try to lynch him for being a “woke” liberal. Or that he’s supposedly supposed to come back “like a lion” instead of “like a lamb”, which I take to mean he theoretically wouldn’t be as gentle the second time as he was his first time around. And they’re specifically blaspheming in his name. It’s just dumb at every level, even if you do believe in the Bible’s teachings literally.
That these people think they are “in Christ” is a massive act of self-delusion. There is nothing Christ-like, or even godly, about their speech or behavior, even judging by the books they hold sacred.

For four decades, Hotze, an indicted election fraud conspiracy theorist, has helmed hardline anti-abortion movements and virulently homophobic campaigns against LGBTQ+ rights, comparing gay people to Nazis and helping popularize the “groomer” slur that paints them as pedophiles.
Those moves, delegates and leaders agreed, were necessary amid what they say is an existential fight with a host of perceived enemies, be it liberals trying to indoctrinate their children through “gender ideology” and Critical Race Theory, or globalists waging a war on Christianity through migration.
In 2022, for instance, delegates approved a platform that included calls for a referendum on Texas secession; resistance to the “Great Reset,” a conspiracy theory that claims global elites are using environmental and social policies to enslave the world’s population; proclamations that homosexuality is an “abnormal lifestyle choice”; and a declaration that President Joe Biden was not legitimately elected.
Such outlets, Harvey said, are crucial to getting people “further down the rabbit hole,” after which they can begin to connect the dots between the deep-state that has spent years attacking former President Donald Trump, and the agenda of the left to indoctrinate kids through the Boy Scouts of America, public schools and the Democratic Party.
And the party’s proposed platform included planks that claim gender-transition care is child abuse, or urge new legislation in Texas that's "even more comprehensive" than Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law, which prohibits the teaching of sexual orientation or gender identity in public schools.
Last year, the two were spotted outside of a Tarrant County office building where Nick Fuentes, a prominent white nationalist and Adolf Hitler fan, was hosted for nearly seven hours by Jonathan Stickland, then the leader of Dunn and Wilks' most powerful political action committee.
How many states made EV's illegal, how much subsidies have been misappropriated by mainstay industries, and what have lobbyists been doing to prevent the fostering of EV technology? That's like, what, 2 decades of corporate meddling and political boot licking for these "job creators"?
Preventing progress and hampering the US's competitive advantage. Why are they not labelled as traitors yet? The door may already have been closed and China owns that house. How do I know that? Let's check historic precedent in another technological field.
Most AMOLED and OLED are manufacturers in either South Korea or Japan. Sharp provides Apple with all its panels for instance. This is because both the south Korean and Japanese governments subsidized the shit out of these technologies in the mid 20th century. That's using subsidies to effectively corner markets - which is a big brain move. China may have done this for EV's already.
This is because Chinese, South Korean and Japanese politicians aren't a bunch of rubes who sold their integrity to the highest bidder and have the wherewithal to see one meter in front of their faces. This is also a problem of neo- and classical liberalism, because they still think that their "free market principles" will prevail.
Obviously not, but I would very much rather he had not directly funded and supplied a genocide and then hypocritically pretend like he didn't do any of that
This... This is an ad. This is literally a recruitment ad for Russian defectors disguised as a common article in CNN.
Lede very much unburied(exhumed?):
“Disaffection creates a once-in-a-generation opportunity for us,” said CIA Director Bill Burns last year during a speech in the United Kingdom. “We’re very much open for business.”
“That business is the exchange of information that the asset or agent would provide for something that they want,” said David McCloskey, former CIA officer and author of Moscow X. “We want people who have some sense of what [Russian] leaders’ priorities are – what they’re trying to accomplish.”
WCPP grants are doing some amazing things throughout the West; even for those who don't give a shit about wildlife, drivers are avoiding crashes.
It's truly unfortunate that the matching requirements are in place for those least available to come up with them and seemingly flies in the face of Biden's Justice40 initiative, which is supposed to ensure disadvantaged communities receive disproportionately more federal funding in situations like these.
many of the bedrock structures of American government, like its electoral process and its judicial system, its media, its intelligence agencies, are fundamentally and unfairly rigged against him
Typical 80% truth + 20% BS.
Of course he doesn't propose how to fix the issues, just scrap it all and get some 100% rigged for him.
That so many people don't see the parallelism with how totalitarian states came to be, is appalling.
