Say whaaaat? 🎶
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.
Maybe. I am hopeful that with declining popularity the political resistance will only be stronger in a few months. Trump is pissing off a lot of people and that makes him weaker every day. So if he tries again I’m even more optimistic we force him to back down.
While they are still trying to slink away from responsibility, at first glance that's not how it looks. To me, this is yet another example we should be following. Trump and his cronies have jelly where their spines should be. If people with spines show theirs, they cower and reverse course.
Sure, but the critical thing is that whenever they reverse course, it is only temporary. They will back off just enough for the current court cases to get dismissed, then try again with different people. It is vitally important that they keep meeting the same resistance, no matter who is targeted. Which means these people need to have legal sponsors who can mount a defense regardless of whether the targets have the means to fund it themselves.
The Administration thinks that by simply strategically backing down, they can avoid accountability for breaking the law in the first place. Then, when they start back up again, all the legal stuff stars over from scratch. They are in control of when to disengage, so the opposition needs to be instant.
It sucks, but it's where we are....
I'd still be afraid to study in the Untied States
What a coward bitch.
I highly doubt that's the reason, but if it is we need to be louder and more disruptive. I think we are far past the point of just hanging out for a 2 hour protest twice a month. I think it's time for strikes. I think it's waaay past time for strikes.
Us general strike folks are just waiting to have enough on board for it to be super painful all over. I'm ready.
Strikes need to be coordinated by unions or some other organizational structure. It takes a lot of work to organize. We have to do the work first, not just call for it on social media and hope it magically happens.
You are correct. That is why I explained that I have joined the general strike, and we are waiting for sufficient numbers.
this is "not the end"
