  • I’ve been reading up a bit on this, and it’s not a reversal at all. From what I can tell, revoking all these Visas all at once was so chaotic and disruptive that anyone who had the means to sued over it, and since all the courts are backing the students the administration is saying they will now put it all back.

    But the Administration is not saying that they did anything wrong. in fact, they reserve the right to do this again in the future. They just promised there would be a “framework” in place to make it all less chaotic, somehow .

    Any student who was in the home stretch of graduating might having a fighting chance of finishing their degree now. But other students shouldn’t see this as any victory. They will do this again in a few months. Any student with the means to leave and continue their studies elsewhere should go. Which is sad, because it’s what Donald Trump wants. But I can’t encourage any foreign student to come here while our Mad King is doing his thing.






  • No, even Nazis are people. They may be horrible people whose hateful ideology needs to be forcefully purged from society, but they are still people.

    Do you know how otherwise same people turn out just as bad as Nazis? It starts by dehumanizing their opponents.

    (That’s not necessarily a statement in favor of the Reddit action, that was likely done by a bot anyway so no humans were involved.)





  • If these incumbents were actually effective, they should be able to win a primary challenge. It might even make them better, because they would have to explain their positions directly, and that can help them in the general election. Why are they afraid of it?

    This guy is gonna fund a bunch of challenges and some of them will lose. I have every confidence that he will back whoever wins the primary, even if his candidate loses. So the party ends up better in the end – as long as these new candidates are more likely to win the General Election.
