What kind of support is the U.S. offering in the wake of the Myanmar quake?
The White House and former USAID staff have differing views on the nature of the U.S. response to the earthquake that struck Myanmar and neighboring countries.

Test. Cases. Any little infraction. But don't think they can't make up infractions...they already are.
A Hmong American woman who has lived in the Milwaukee area since she was 8 months old was deported last week to Laos, a country she has never visited, and says she is stranded in a rooming house surrounded by military guards. www.jsonline.com/story/news/l...
Milwaukee-area woman deported to Laos though she's never been there, doesn't speak the language
As Donald Trump pushes the mass deportation of immigrants, Yang believes she is one of the first Hmong Americans to be deported to Laos recently.

What @eliothiggins.bsky.social calls “disordered discourse”.
Dangerous and evil because living in community means accepting the facts, despite having different values or policy ideas etc.
Disordered discourse is more possible because of algorithms, literally gate keeping what you know.

I can't remember the last time I saw an article just focus on this. Not that they've bent the truth or misrepresented a few facts a little, but that every single solitary thing that the GOP says on the topic is a stone cold lie with absolutely no basis in reality.

It appears Musk came to US on a student visa, did not attend school and worked illegally here.
If he lied in his subsequent immigration applications he committed a felony level crime and could be stripped of his citizenship and security clearances.
Musk's brother: "We were illegal immigrants."

What’s amazing about Musk claiming the reason he’s in America is the H1B visa is that it isn’t true. According to story below, he came here on a student visa, worked illegally and then got an H1B. He should release his immigration records to clear this up.
