Also a brief perusal of the book would lead one to conclude the author must have suffered a massive head injury. Not exactly going to go to be flying off the shelves based on the quality of the writing.

How about people from one of the travel ban countries who were approved for a green card last week but haven’t received them yet? Any idea if those will be processed normally?

Same for me. Though when they really get rolling I have to be like “Jesus please don’t say stuff like that where anyone else can hear,” which is quite a reversal from my teen years

Love seeing those assholes catch a massive L, especially after the ratcheting up of immigration demagoguery over the past few days

Weird how that article spends 6 paragraphs talking about a 2022 report about supposed vetting failures, and a single sentence on a report from June of this year that concluded there were no systemic vetting issues and that the process worked as intended. Almost like they have an agenda to push. 🤔

People who were eligible for SIVs but didn’t have COM approval yet when the withdrawal took place were granted humanitarian parole also; that’s what let them stay in the US while their SIV cases were being processed.

Fair enough, I don’t know exact numbers. I just know that out of 20+ families I know personally, all but two came on SIVs.

I think it’s even worse than that. When they’re re-vetting Afghans who came in 2021, I imagine they’ll be looking for any possible pretext they can use to deny or revoke permanent residency and deport them, where they’ll be in immediate danger from the Taliban.

They didn’t come in through a typical refugee process but they all qualified for resettlement and assistance, which is certainly close enough for the admin to classify them as refugees for the purposes of harassing them.

The vast majority of Afghans who came in 2021 are SIV cases, I believe.

💯Star’s End could have been a fantastic movie. I always thought it should have been adapted as an audio drama too, but I suppose Brian Daley’s untimely death made that unlikely.

One cool thing about the show so far is that it’s wildly unpredictable; once you know the premise, you still won’t have any idea what they’re going to do with it.

Yeah I went into that with subterranean expectations but it was actually a lot of fun. Some really inventive action scenes and gorgeous settings.
