Kordia first entered the US in 2016 on a tourist visa and obtained a student visa the next year.

In 2021, her visa was terminated for lack of attendance. She applied to have her revoked visa reinstated and was approved later that year. But she again failed to attend classes, leading the feds to again terminate her visa in 2022.

I see a Mod censored my earlier post. Let’s see how long they allow this reply to stay…

Well, yeah since Cameron was the one who introduced the legislation.

I downvoted because rent control is an idiotic idea that just reduces housing construction.

No, we used to call them Cyclocross.

Cool story bro. Curious how Greta didn’t mention any of those events to the embassy staff…,

Swedish diplomats have the right to visit Thunberg,

Swedish diplomats did meet with her, as did a lawyer.

there are all sorts of pressure tactics they can use, if her welfare is danger.

In danger from what…bed bugs? Prison food?

Since Greta waived her right to immediate deportation and chose to remain in detention, I’m not sure what you are expecting the Swedes to do.

Because CBS News was the original source. They interviewed her, and saw the original letter. All the other sources merely report second-hand info.

The gas mustang earns 5-10% profit margins, whereas Ford’s EV division loses $5 billion per year.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the full naval blockade only started with the Hamas takeover.

Enforcing a naval blockade during armed conflict is not illegal.

(and I now await the downvotes…)

NCTD in San Diego recently had a meeting about a proposed H2 railcar project for the Sprinter line. The H2 fuel costs are running 4-16x more expensive relative to what was originally planned. So nice to see scarce public transit dollars funding H2 research 🙄

The same poll shows just 30% approval of the Democratic party. In other words, RFK Jr is slightly more popular than the Democrats.

He was watching porn during a Board meeting.

They didn’t back down at all:

Sure they cover climate change, just like other commercial outlets – but the coverage is extremely milquetoast (“stressed about climate change? Write a letter to the Earth!”). That is what their sponsorship dollars are buying.

And in matters of foreign policy especially, public broadcasting has been extremely supportive of military mis-adventures in oil-rich countries. NPR lost a lot of support among totebaggers over their Iraq war coverage.

A lot of funding is from the fossil fuel industry (some call it National Petroleum Radio).

No thanks. Canada has too many anti-vax nutters.
