"Federal housing officials spent years investigating cities from Chicago to Memphis to Corpus Christi for putting industrial plants and unwanted facilities in poor, nonwhite neighborhoods."
"Now, under Trump, the agency plans to drop the cases."

Meanwhile, in the USA, they're bringing back segregation.
Whoever could have seen that voting for a white supremacist to be President could have led to that kind of thing?

INVESTIGATIONS INTO HOUSING DISCRIMINATION STOPPED
Today in Labor History July 7, 1931: Construction began on the Hoover dam. 16 workers and camp residents died from heat exhaustion during a single month of construction. Temperatures routinely soared over 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Several strikes led to nominal improvements in working conditions. Thousands of men were employed in the highly segregated project. Only 30 African Americans were allowed to work at any given time and Chinese workers were officially excluded. The Wobblies (IWW) tried to organize the men and sent in 11 organizers who were promptly arrested. Eugene Nelson, a Wobbly hobo, writes about it in his wonderful biographical novel, “Break Their Haughty Power.”

Today In Labor History June 29, 1983: President Reagan said that one cause of the decline in public education was the effort to comply with court-ordered desegregation.

Lucas's Subtle Segregation Commentary - Richard Miniter on Triggernometry
I can see #Starmer throwing #Phillipson and #Falkner under the bus and trying to walk it back a little, claiming he was nisinformed. It might be the least embarassing move. But then again he does have the political instincts of a wombat.
Quite interesting things said on #OpenScience #Security and #Geopolitics at the Research Council of Finland annual forum for science #TiedeFoorumi.
Also, my colleague and PI, Olle Järv, was awarded the academy award for his work on #CrossBorder #Mobility and #Segregation studies.

I've heard from more than a couple friends in New Orleans of family stories of ancestors legally "Colored" in Louisiana who left the state or country and later returned with legal documentation classifying them as "White".
While the current US President wages his dogwhistle war on "DEI", this is not the first time a President of the United States has tried to re-segregate the country. But it has been a while. Woodrow Wilson re-segregated the Federal government in 1913.

Today in Labor History May 17, 1954: Brown v. Board of Education went into effect. In this case, the Supreme Court ruled that "separate but equal" public education was unconstitutional, and a violation of the 14th Amendment. The ruling reversed the 1896 "separate but equal" Plessy vs Ferguson decision. However, researchers at Stanford and USC have recently found that, in spite of this SCOTUS ruling, racial segregation in the nation’s 100 largest school districts has increased by 64% since 1988, while economic segregation increased by 50% since 1991. While residential segregation was a major driving force for school segregation in the past, the primary driving force for today’s segregation is the School Choice movement, which has allowed hundreds of charter schools to open up, many for-profit. During the 2021-2022 school year, 7.4% of all public-school students, 3.7 million kids, attended charter schools. And there tends to be much more segregation within charter schools. Additionally, there has been a decline in court oversight of segregation in schools, resulting from a number of lawsuits in the 1990s against affirmative action policies.
