I have to ask, is "Hijabi" politically correct?
-
You can send it in to the address shown on you NOA1 (petition receipt) noting the case number reference, and keep a copy in case USCIS does not match this up to your case and you eventually receive an RFE. Best case is you send it in, USCIS connects it to you petition, and the case moves forward. On a side note, this was the one RFE (my then fiancé not signing the letter of intent, just sending me the Word document to include) my now wife and I received on our case from K1 all the way through her N400. It is not an end of the world situation, and honestly it will not completely sidetrack the petition if one comes, but you can potentially head it off since you already know the issue. Good Luck!

Consequences. Berkeley Eats Its Own At the first of the dinners, with dozens of students seated in Chemerinsky’s backyard, Malak Afaneh, co‑president of LSJP, arose with a microphone and launched into a speech. The rest is captured on video. Chemerinsky politely asks Afaneh to leave. Having slept through her constitutional law course, apparently, Afaneh insists that she is legally entitled to address a captive audience at a private residence. (“The National Lawyers Guild has informed us this is our First Amendment right,” she says. She should find better representation.) Chemerinsky’s wife then attempts to grab the microphone and places her hand on Afaneh’s shoulder, and subsequently her arm. (Chemerinsky would later state that Afaneh “shoved” his wife, but this is not evident in the footage.) Afaneh promptly shifts to victim mode, lecturing Chemerinsky about his wife’s “assault” on a “Muslim Palestinian hijabi student,” and declaring that they’ll be hearing from her lawyers. Afaneh and several other students then left the premises. Afaneh and her supporters have used the event as a launching pad for a cry-bullying campaign. The school’s pro-Palestine faculty group announced that it “stand[s] with Malak,” and “condemn[s] the violent and racist actions” of Chemerinsky and his wife. The LSJP, meantime, insisted that a “Palestinian Muslim” had suffered an unprovoked attack. The group published a truncated video of the confrontation, then accused Chemerinsky of engaging in a “pattern” of “disingenuity.” They claimed that he has “led the charge in suppressing Palestinian liberation work at the law school,” and called on him and his wife (a fellow law professor) to resign. Chemerinsky said that he was “deeply saddened” by what took place. But what is he going to do about it? As the posters, the interrupted dinner, and the post-disruption spin show, Berkeley Law is beset by self-absorbed, belligerent activists. The school is also riddled with anti-Semitic student groups that allegedly ban “Zionist” speakers, or require leaders to attend a “Palestine 101” training session (held by the good folks at LSJP). Perhaps the school should reorient its admissions process to find people who—heaven forfend—just want to focus on obtaining a sound legal education? Chemerinsky, as dean, is uniquely well positioned to push things in that direction, but almost certainly won’t. On this front, in fact, he was last seen, caught by secret camera, explaining how to smuggle discriminatory standards into the school’s faculty hiring process. https://www.city-journal.org/article/berkeley-eats-its-own

Stop Telling People to Only Vote on Election Day
Dashinka replied to TBoneTX's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
I know for myself, I will only vote on Election Day as I can see my vote is counted right there (I know, machine hacking is possible). That being said, the GOP should follow the same early voting, vote by mail, and ballot harvesting (where legal) tactics that the Democrats use. -
N600K - how to pay outside US
Dashinka replied to antiou's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
I imagine it depends on which bank is backing the card. You should be able to use a regular card (Visa, MC, Discover, etc.). Good Luck! -
But the I751 is still within normal processing times, so could a WoM drive a decision there? To my knowledge there is nothing that drives USCIS to adjudicate the I751 just because an N400 was submitted. Now for most, the cases are combined and decided at the same time, but there is no requirement that this happen unless someone has more information.

Conditional green card & international travel
Dashinka replied to TL808's topic in Working & Traveling During US Immigration
Yes, the CG, regardless if it is conditional supersedes the AP/EAD. She is now an LP and can travel outside the U.S. -
If the moderators wish to move this to CEHST, I am fine with that. Robbery, fatal shooting revealed as elaborate visa fraud scheme Police believe the motive was to leverage their status as crime victims to apply for a U nonimmigrant visa, known as a “U visa.” Investigations revealed that the robbery was part of a larger scheme involving insurance and immigration fraud. The charging documents indicate that not only was the robbery staged, but several other similar incidents occurred across the area, implicating multiple individuals, including store clerks. https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2024/04/06/robbery-fatal-shooting-revealed-as-elaborate-visa-fraud-scheme/

Maybe Mann, and Fauci can be held together. This guy is amazing, and someone needs to find out who is paying his bills. Climate scientist Michael Mann’s defamation case reveals what critics say is unethical behavior Mann is suing Simberg over statements he and Steyn made in articles they posted online. Testimony so far has raised a number of complaints about plaintiff Mann’s behavior toward his critics. One witnesses’ deposition even revealed that Mann had emailed the editor of a scientific journal in 2007 to stop a paper written by another climate scientist from being published by getting hostile peer reviewers assigned to it. Journalists Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney have been at the trial and posting regular podcasts on what's happening in court. The podcast, which has ranked in the top 15 podcasts on Spotify in the science category, highlights testimony in the trial using actors to portray what was said in court. According to a summary of the case that Superior Court of the District of Columbia Judge Alfred Irving gave during the trial, Simberg’s and Steyn’s post compared the Penn State’s investigation into assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, who was found guilty in 2012 of sexually abusing 10 young boys over the course of 15 years, to the investigation of Mann’s research on global historic temperatures as shown in the scientist's controversial hockey stick graph. https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/energy/climate-scientists-defamation-case-reveals-what-critics-say-plaintiffs

It is a good thing to know that Biden's DOJ is still persecuting innocent people to maintain their destructive policies, and also showing their antisemitism. Jewish Doctor Targeted by DOJ After Blowing Whistle on Kids’ Transgender Clinic TEXAS (VINnews) — Last year, a whistleblower report exposed a secret gender-change program on minors at Texas Children’s Hospital. The hospital had promised to stop the procedures but continued to perform transgender medical interventions on children as young as 11. It turns out the whistleblower was former Texas Children’s Hospital general surgeon Dr. Eithan Haim Following the story’s publication, Texas legislators banned all child gender-change procedures statewide, angering left-wing activists and hospital officials, who opposed any restriction on transgender medicine. Then Dr. Haim was hit with revenge and retribution by the government. Federal agents tracked him down and identified him as the whistleblower, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Tina Ansari threatened him with prosecution. On June 23,there was a loud knock from two federal agents from the Department of Health and Human Services saying he was the target of a criminal investigation. https://vinnews.com/2024/01/10/jewish-doctor-targeted-by-doj-after-blowing-whistle-on-kids-transgender-clinic/

So to me this is much more general than just the Hamas terror attacks into Israel (if mods feel otherwise, feel free to put this in the Israel thread). It is certainly true, people usually show their true colors. A great example is the racist attitudes of Old Corrupt Joe which shine through all the time. When People Tell You Who They Are, Believe Them On the one hand I think: surely this will be sufficient. Surely this amount of blood will be enough to shake the world awake. Surely no one can equivocate or justify this. As my friend Sarah Haider wrote, “How easy is it to simply condemn targeted violence against civilians? Can there be a lower bar?” And yet, across the world, people have sunk below it. Here you can watch people gathered at the Sydney Opera House cheering “gas the Jews” and “death to the Jews.” People are rejoicing in the slaughter on the streets of Berlin and London and Toronto and New York.

What I do not understand is the three Leftist justices voted in favor of religious rights on the postal worker case released yesterday, but voted against this one released today. Supreme Court rules in favor of Colorado graphic designer who refused to create same-sex wedding websites The U.S. Supreme Court held that a Colorado graphic designer who wants to make wedding websites does not have to create them for same-sex marriages, in a landmark decision that pit the interests of LGBTQ non-discrimination against First Amendment freedom. In a 6-3 decision issued Friday, the high court ruled in favor of artist Lorie Smith, who sued the state over its anti-discrimination law that prohibited businesses providing sales or other accommodations to the public from denying service based on a customer's sexual orientation. Justice Neil Gorsuch authored the majority opinion, which said that, "In this case, Colorado seeks to force an individual to speak in ways that align with its views but defy her conscience about a matter of major significance." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/supreme-court-rules-in-favor-of-colorado-graphic-designer-who-refused-to-create-same-sex-wedding-websites/ar-AA1dg4M7

If the shoe fits. Twitter criticized after labeling NPR as ‘state-affiliated media’ (NewsNation) — NPR president and CEO John Lansing fired back at Twitter on Wednesday morning after the social media platform put a label on the news organization’s profile calling it “state-affiliated media.” NewsNation partner The Hill reports this designation is one Twitter uses for state news agencies such as Russia’s TASS and China’s Xinhua. “NPR and our Member stations are supported by millions of listeners who depend on us for the independent, fact-based journalism we provide,” Lansing wrote in a statement. “NPR stands for freedom of speech and holding the powerful accountable. It is unacceptable for Twitter to label us this way. A vigorous, vibrant free press is essential to the health of our democracy.” https://www.newsnationnow.com/entertainment-news/media/twitter-npr-state-affiliated-media-ceo-responds/

More from the war on CH4. And yes, this agency is headed by the son of the former top manager of the AFL-CFO. U.S. safety agency to consider ban on gas stoves amid health fears A federal agency says a ban on gas stoves is on the table amid rising concern about harmful indoor air pollutants emitted by the appliances. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission plans to take action to address the pollution, which can cause health and respiratory problems. “This is a hidden hazard,” Richard Trumka Jr., an agency commissioner, said in an interview. “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.” https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2023-01-09/us-safety-agency-considers-gas-stove-ban?expandComments=true
