NYC bagel shops need to get with the times. The bagels in LA suck, but all the LA bagel shops at least use cashew-based vegan cream cheese. NYC bagel shops almost never have vegan cc or they’re using hyper processed Tofutti 🤢. I hope Zohran can remedy this

No, this is not what "the law intended" because H1B visas are written into law as 'dual intent', you can explicitly work in the U.S. temporarily while pursuing permanent status. This is the Immigration and Nationality Act §214(b) and (h), codified at 8 U.S.C §1184(b) and (h), which is why the Dept. of State Foreign Affairs Manual says "H-1B nonimmigrants … are accorded dual intent” the law expressly allows H1B holders to pursue a green card while working temporarily in the U.S.

An alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. The era of abusing our nation’s immigration system is over.

Not only does the NYT response fall woefully short — it actually strengthens Israel's legal case against it. 1. Kristof minimizes Euro-Med's chairman as someone whose views "can't be taken lightly" — while failing to note a documented record that includes an Israeli anti-terrorism order against Abdu personally, and a brother-in-law who was a senior Hamas military commander. 2. Kristof cited peer-reviewed medical literature as scientific validation for the dog rape allegation. But that literature documents human-initiated bestiality and one accidental pet incident. Not one paper describes a dog trained to assault a human on command. 3. One of his only two named sources filed a petition with the Israeli Supreme Court after his detention, with lawyers, complaining about the food. He never mentioned rape. The Times calls this "additional details over time." That's not how things work. 4. Former PM Olmert accused Kristof of misrepresenting his words in the original column. The Times response doesn't mention him once. 5. The Times confirmed its legal team reviewed the column before publication. Those internal communications now potentially exist for discovery. The Times thought this response would put the story to bed. But what it actually does is hand Israel's lawyers new material on a silver platter.
