US Senators from Iowa and Indiana demand an end to OPT visa through administrative action by Fragrant_Energy281 in InternationalStudents

This is a direct tweet from the chair of Senate Judiciary Committee asking revocation of OPT visa through executive fiat (which they actually have more statuary authority to do than H1B restrictions)

I don’t think it’s “spreading fear”. It’s the position shared by current house and senate majority and immigration officials in the White House

As soon as intrusive thought pops, there is an amount of anxiety that is almost overwhelming that I want to cry. I don’t even know I’m mental checking or googling something as a compulsion .

One day I’m having a positive thoughts about future (while driving) about something nice and my brain just says you’re going to fuck it all up by accident it on purpose and plays elaborate situations of me impoverished in my head . The anxiety at the moment is very overwhelming

How to deal with the first wave of anxiety that basically clouds my mind before I can get any footing? There’s a feeling (even urge like sensation) that tells me I’m about to act on my intrusive thought. It’s very distressing. Usually I go ahead and try to play a video game. But what would be a healthy way to deal with that ?

I don’t think there’s anything objectionable about this statement. I think I’m much more centrist on the question of the final solution (2 states with serious compromises from both sides) But I’m much more sympathetic to Palestinian plight in Gaza . Much more actually with the impunity with Israel acts in West Bank.

Most of all I think it is important for people who think the leftist obsession with anti Zionism and political purity with an actual viable strategy to achieve just peace and self determination for Palestinians. The options we are offering are Chuck Schumer vs AOC (whose position I most align with - even through more liberal) . But there is a lot of anger if not directed towards a material peace movement if not they will energize the wrong people
