- Students of color are banding together after the Supreme Court ruled to overturn race-based affirmative action. As one student said: “To be going backwards in this sort of immense way is really scary.” However, many student-led organizations are still working to preserve diversity on their campuses.
- Something Navy, the beleaguered apparel company founded by the fashion influencer Arielle Charnas, is struggling to survive. As Insider’s Katie Warren reports, several people said its CEO is leaving the company, most employees have either quit or been laid off, and production of new clothing is on hold.
- Today’s the day student-loan borrowers find out if they get loan forgiveness. It’s the last day of the Supreme Court’s session. So the high court is finally going to decide the fate of Biden’s student-loan-forgiveness plan. Regardless of the decision, student-loan repayments are set to begin again in October.
- A CBS reporter’s ride on the Titan submarine was cut short last year due to safety protocols. David Pogue told Insider’s Sindhu Sundar that it feels like he played Russian roulette and won. He rode in the submersible to see a continental shelf. And Pogue said the waiver that warned of “injury or death” just seemed like legal jargon at the time.
- Cleveland is an unlikely hotspot for affordability-seeking millennials. Since 2020, the millennial population there has risen 6% — the same rate as Tampa and Dallas. Cleveland’s popularity surprised analysts, since it isn’t a tech hub or a temperate destination. Instead, it has something even more coveted: income growth that outpaces rent increases.
- The Wagner rebellion shot down a “high-value” Russian aircraft. The Ilyushin Il-22M airborne command-post aircraft had been staying out of Ukraine’s reach. It’s able to avoid Kyiv’s air defenses while still effectively coordinating air and ground operations. But the revolt crashed the aircraft’s safety measures and reportedly also killed the 10 crew members aboard.
- Overboard cruise-ship passenger’s survival was “nothing short of miraculous.” The 42-year-old woman fell overboard from the 10th deck of a Royal Caribbean ship. Surviving the extremely high fall was already a miracle. And being rescued was even luckier.
