Yang was born in Thailand and was a legal permanent US resident until she pleaded guilty to marijuana-related charges and served more than 2 years in prison.
Unfuckingbelievable. 2 years in prison for weed, what are we even doing here.
Imagine if she’d have pleaded not guilty…
The history of the War on Some Drugs has been terrible. People like Leary who had a 10 year sentence for…possession of two roaches. And that was a relatively wealthy white guy…
Possession of any amount for a first-time offense is a misdemeanor punishable by 6 months imprisonment and up to $1,000 in fines
Possession of any amount of marijuana (subsequent offense) is a felony punishable by 3.5 years imprisonment and up to $10,000 in fines
The cultivation of 4 plants or fewer cannabis plants is a felony punishable by 3.5 years imprisonment and up to $10,000 in fines
The cultivation of between 4 and 20 cannabis plants is a felony punishable by 6 years imprisonment and up to $10,000 in fines
Some of the most punitive laws I’ve seen.
Would’ve already been jailed multiple times if I was American. Think I’ve been told to put it away at least 10 times here in NL

Their journalism beats your baseless allusions of violence by every conceivable metric.
I am not accusing anyone of anything. I’m saying we don’t know what the “marijuana-related charge” is based just on this article.
Oh, she’s also diabetic and running out of insulin & heart medication. And the Lao government is holding her things so she has no money or identification or anything. Neat.
Hopefully Laos deports her back to the US.
Canada Europe, Australia and other free democracies need to be offering this woman (and her family) and people like her refugee status. She is clearly being discriminated against and needlessly and cruelly punished.
Many thousands of refugees fleeing persecution are facing discrimination and cruelty too, and have been for years.
Free democracies in wealthy nations need to step up better to look after ALL refugees.
TIL the nazi president and his rubberstamp king invoked The Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which I also just learned “is intended to be invoked when the country is at war or if a foreign nation has invaded the U.S. or has issued threats that they will.”
[edit bc the internet does not need more allcaps]
The country is at war, Nazis have invaded the white house.
War implies actual resistance, not just online complaints.
Lmao, okay. I can guarantee you, in their minds they’re at war with us. Wake the fuck up and smell the smoke.

Let’s get all the first through third generation German Americans into Freedom camps just to be safe. Maybe have a few in Death Valley for the natives that don’t appreciate their Land gifts in Oklahoma that are selfishly hogging mineral rich lands. /S
Oh brother…
Might just be part of the whole “flooding the zone” strategy. It might get undone due to exactly what you bolded.

Where did Wisconsin’s electoral college votes go to? I’m guessing they wanted this.
