BREAKING: Exactly one year since she was detained, an immigration judge has just ordered the release of Leqaa Kordia — the last Columbia protestor still in ICE detention.
DHS has kept her, despite a magistrate judge recommending her release and an immigration judge already *twice* ordering so.
I have been offered books in India and Pakistan and I just roll my eyes. A cup of chai will not add to my overage!
For those who may not know — this move the Pentagon is making now was also the first deployment in the Vietnam War…
It’s not just state schools. The private ones were jealous and they’ve set up these Byzantine payment systems too.

It’s SO ANNOYING. And why does every university have a different system??
Also every US university makes you sign up for their brutal centralized payment system which you need to constantly get help for
Here's my latest for @thenation.com about the stunning election results in Nepal six months after the GenZ uprising that took down the government.

India may not like doing business with China. But a solar farm imported from China can supply electricity for decades, while a cargo of LNG imported from the United States is burned up in days.
“Choose between Donald Trump and this other guy who will only kill the queer people who scare middle America!”
I utterly reject the premise. I reject the 90% hitler
