“Generations of ‘lesser evilism’ have augmented a cycle that is wholly capitulated to the far-right while making liberals who claim to oppose them grow increasingly compliant.” https://prismreports.org/2024/08/22/another-way-out-democratic-rightward-shift/ #border #usa #mexico #gaza #genocide #israel #vietnam #palestine #fascism #liberalism #immigration #migration #war #harris #trump #police

La maltraitance institutionnelle est un choix politique

Maltraiter les agents et maltraiter les usagers dans ce domaine, ce n'est pas un hasard, ce n'est pas non plus un problème de moyens financiers, c'est l'expression du #racisme

Les images de ce reportage sont claires : la France enferme les gens derrière des barreaux (ceux des portes de la préfecture), elle les fait crever de faim et d'angoisse

My visa to green card journey: 7.5 years

Most people like me come to the United States on H-1Bs. Those cost 100K now (borne by employer).

I am Singaporean so I always had an alternative (H-1B1). Those are shorter, non-immigrant intent, but much easier to obtain (I don’t know of any qualified Singaporean who has ever been rejected.. other than some Singaporeans born in China who are subject to more scrutiny)

It was not easy to get new jobs on any visa between 2018 and 2024, and it’s even harder now.

In 2024, I switched to an O-1 visa (person of extraordinary ability), and in 2025 I had two green cards approved (EB-1A and EB-2 NIW). I applied for my own EB-1A, that’s the only employment green card you can ‘self-petition’ without an employer.

We arrived in Aug / Sept 2018, and received our physical green cards in March 2026.

Based on friends and family’s experience, I knew in 2018 that I was working with a 10 year timeline to get it done, ideally.

It required that I keep jobs for long enough (being laid off means you have to leave within 60 days, or file for a new visa within that time); have excellent immigration counsel (I always retained my own, separate from any employer-provided attorney, as I wanted someone who had my best interests).

It was 7 years of paperwork, flights back ‘home’, doing everything right, and finally having enough money and executive function to sort it all out.

From Mike Sington on 🦋 8hrs ago today:

Sick and demented, like their leader. Guards at Trump’s immigrant concentration camp “Alligator Alcatraz” are wearing this Grim Reaper patch on their uniforms.

I no longer have to check ‘require visa sponsorship’ in job applications. In fact, I no longer need to have ‘a job’.

This country is hard many days, but it’s still the only home I’ve got

I usually take time to craft and hone and practice my Senate speeches. But yesterday I rose unprepared and impromptu to address an amendment to Bill C-12, thru the eyes of an Albertan, haunted by the official xenophobia of my province. Turns out, if you’re angry enough, you don’t need notes. https://youtu.be/7U4evGu-jks?si=5YNOEJFxfJxXbwNo #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #Alberta #immigration

🇨🇦 CBC has identified Canadian military personnel on WhiteDate, a white-only dating site that promoted Nazi ideology.

One of the racists on this site was Tristan Armstrong, a captain working for the CAF's Future Fighters Capability Project — #Canada 's program to purchase F-35s.
