πŸ’₯πŸ‡­πŸ‡Ί Police have given up guarding Budapest’s Liberty Bridge as anti-government protesters shut down traffic on four major bridges, rallying against Viktor OrbΓ‘n’s new law curbing freedom of assembly and banning the Pride march.

They vow to escalate with a 24-hour shutdown next week.

It was MOOCs 15 years ago. Now, it's AI. Wonder what silver bullet the higher-ed consultants and tech set will offer next that will simultaneously lower standards for students and increase workloads for instructors.

One step closer to Bolsonaro in jail for an attempted coup, as the Federal Police released a 900+ page document detailing investigations. Becoming harder and harder for Bolsonaro & close allies to deny their direct involvement. Brazil is doing what the US failed to do.
