The Moment You Unplug, You Become a Threat:
Breaking Free from the Illusion There comes a moment in life when something clicks. You look around and start seeing things differently. The world isn’t what you were told it was. The rules you were taught—go to school, get a job, obey authority, fit in—start feeling like a carefully constructed script, designed not for your success, but for your compliance.

China returns fire in Donald Trump’s trade war
China's response to the trade war that the former United States started In recent years, President Donald Trump has had a significant impact on the dynamics of the global economy. In this trade dispute, China "returned fire" in the following key ways: 1. Retaliation with a Tariff: Matching Tariffs: China imposed its own tariffs on American goods in response to the United States imposing tariffs on Chinese goods. For instance, when the United States imposed tariffs in July 2018 on Chinese goods worth $34 billion, China immediately retaliated by imposing tariffs on equivalent amounts of American goods, including automobiles, seafood, and agricultural goods like soybeans. Escalation: China reciprocated the United States' continued increase in tariffs. The United States had imposed tariffs on by September 2018 250 billion in Chinese goods, and China had retaliated by imposing tariffs on 110 billion in American goods. 2.

What will happen at my school if Trump closes the Department of Education?
What will happen at my school if Trump closes the Department of Education? Schools and students wouldn't immediately be impacted by an executive order targeting the agency. But they may already be feeling the effects of staff departures, turnover and new policies. WASHINGTON – As President Donald Trump continues his campaign to gut federal agencies, one of his favorite targets has been the U.S. Department of Education, which he has vowed to close. Education Secretary Linda McMahon confirmed on Fox News Friday that Trump “clearly intends” to sign an order targeting her department. "He couldn't be any more clear when he says he wants me to put myself out of a job," she said. As talk of imminent change brews, millions of students, parents, teachers, administrators and support staff may be wondering what exactly the U.S. Department of Education does – and doesn't – do, and how looming cuts to the agency could impact daily life on their campuses. They may also be asking whether such cuts are even lawful. For starters, the department doesn’t decide what kids learn. It has no control over school curricula. And it’s not forcing teachers to teach anything. Sending education “back to the states,” which President Donald Trump has repeatedly called for, is a bit like mandating the sun go back to the sky. It’s already there. The federal government does, of course, have some broad authority over what goes on in the classroom environment. No educational program that receives federal funding – which includes K-12 schools, all public and some private; and colleges, all public and many private – can allow discrimination against students. The Education Department is legally required to ensure that students and teachers with disabilities are treated fairly and that low-income schools get the resources they need to keep pace with more affluent ones. The agency also issues regulations for colleges to hold them accountable for preparing graduates for well-paying jobs. Because the department was created by Congress, Trump cannot close it on his own. McMahon, the new education secretary, acknowledged that at her confirmation hearing. More: Trump's education secretary nominee once said she had an education degree. She doesn't. She said she “understands” the need to work with Congress to downsize the agency and create a “better-functioning Department of Education.”

Tuhin Sarwar Bangladesh: Bangladeshi Journalists Condemn Death Threats Against Colleagues Gazipur, Bangladesh - On March 7, 2025, a large number of journalists from across Gazipur and Shreepur came together to form a human chain in protest of the death threats issued against Md. Mojahid, a journalist with Naya Diganta daily. The threats were made in response to Mojahid’s investigative report, which exposed significant irregularities and extortion activities carried out by the student wing of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), known as Chhatra Dal, at Shreepur Government College. This report had shined a light on the corruption within the educational institution and its connection with influential political figures, which has drawn the ire of those involved.
