White men saw the largest job increase - 365,000 - among groups.

Every single university president should be asked, in public, why they are not speaking out this way to support all the students currently detained without due process, and all those terrified that they will be next, on every campus in this country. Yes, including Columbia's acting president.

UPDATE on Mahmoud Khalil from his lawyers and his wife: "Today I spoke to Mahmoud and he is healthy and his spirits are undaunted by his predicament." (Legal team now includes ACLU, CCR.)
For full alt text, follow pastebin link in next post. Partial text:

Amy E. Greer, attorney for Mahmoud Khalil provided the following update this evening:

                First, importantly, today I spoke to Mahmoud and he is healthy and his spirits are undaunted by his predicament.  He also greatly appreciates, and, typically for him, is moved by the extraordinarily broad and steadfast support he has received from a variety of communities that understand what is at stake.  He is in ICE custody in Louisiana, and arrangements have been made for local attorneys to visit him today and tomorrow.

                The remarks by government officials, including the President, on social media only confirm the purpose – and illegality – of Mahmoud's detention.  He was chosen as an example to stifle entirely lawful dissent in violation of the First Amendment.  While tomorrow or thereafter the government may cite the law or process, that toothpaste is out of the tube and irreversibly so.  The government’s objective is as transparent as it is unlawful, and our role as Mahmoud’s lawyers is to ensure it does not prevail.        

                Today Mahmoud's legal team, which includes Kyle Barron, CLEAR, the Center for Constitutional Rights, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Amy Greer filed a motion to compel in federal court in the Southern District of New York, as part of the habeas corpus petition filed on his behalf over the weekend, seeking an order requiring the government to return to New York for any immigration proceedings.

Philly is the latest city to use bus-mounted cameras to automatically ticket cars blocking transit lanes and bus stops. This is one the best transportation technology innovations of the last decade. Every city should be using it.
phillyvoice.com
SEPTA, PPA will start using AI cameras in May to ticket illegally parked vehicles in bus lanes and stops
The authority will use the technology on 150 buses and more than 20 trolleys to detect the violations. Citations will be $101.

Cleminson Street, Salford. Salford pioneered play streets, traffic-free from 8am till sunset (borrowed from New York) in the 1930s. Legislation followed: there were 700 in England and Wales in the 1950s, all but forgotten by the 1980s.

When the dust settles and Palestinians are able to assess the magnitude of Israeli extermination and devastation, what we think we know about what happened in Gaza over these last 15 months is actually going to be far worse and more cruel than what we could have imagined

The world must learn this lesson in economics: Austerity kills. Eating the seed corn is bad. It doesn't "save money." "Cutting spending" means massively increased spending requirements later. If you don't do maintenance, things need expensive replacement. If you don't modernize, growth stops.

“Looking at dollars and cents, highways are a poor economic investment. They occupy nearly 25% of U.S. urban land — an area equivalent to West Virginia and valued at $4.1 trillion — yet their supposed benefits don’t justify these enormous costs.” Via @fastcompany.com The real cost is a LOT higher.

It's time to start removing highways. For real this time
Removing highways can breath new life into cities—so why are cities so slow to actually do it?
