The real siege of L.A. - ICE raids are shredding the city’s social fabric of immigrant lives
I’ve been at the protests in Los Angeles this week, and I have news for you: The city is not facing an “insurrection.” In the vast expanse that is Los Angeles County, the rallies barely register as a blip. The protests are confined to a very small area of downtown. The protesters I spoke to weren’t anarchists bent on burning down the system. They were mostly young people — first- or second-generation U.S. citizens — protesting the persecution their immigrant parents are enduring. They are certainly not “insurrectionist migrant mobs.” And for the most part, yes, the protests have been peaceful. There have been isolated — and reprehensible — incidents of looting and vandalism, but nothing near the scale of past riots in Los Angeles. The notion that the situation is under control thanks to the National Guard is simply false. The LAPD has been managing the response very well. Los Angeles isn’t a “ruptured, balkanized society of strangers.” It is not “occupied territory.” It certainly isn’t experiencing the consequences of an “invasion.” What Los Angeles, this vibrant, pluralistic city where dozens of languages and nationalities coexist, is experiencing is an attack on its most essential social fabric — a concerted campaign of terror. Since last Friday, when Immigration and Customs Enforcement began its operations, the immigrant community in the city that best embodies the immigrant experience in the United States has been paralyzed.

Politics Anutin Moved to Commerce Ministry as Pheu Thai Tightens Grip in Cabinet Reshuffle
There's not many qualified candidates left. The stupid rule that the only people that can be PM are the ones nominated at the time of the election makes no sense, but so many candidates have been disqualified and/or banned at this point, that if the current PM is done, the next in line based on party size would be Anutin.... The only other alternative is to dissolve the government and have new elections, but I'm not sure if that's possible if the PM is removed first, since it's the PM that can do that. -

The dreaded 12 month Marriage Extension - Samut Prakan
I can't answer all the questions, especially because each immigration office is different. Every immigration office will accept an application for extension 30 days before your existing stamp expires, and some will accept it at 45 days. So around 45 days early, go to the immigration office and ask them for their handout for a marriage extension, so you can get the exact requirements for your office, and you can find out if you can apply soon or have to wait until 30 days. Agents don't work with marriage extensions because the local immigration offices cannot process them. They are all sent to regional HQ for approval. Your daughter should not be a factor as you are not applying for an extension based on supporting a child. If there is a visit, normally they would want both you and your spouse there. This is something they will plan ahead, it's not normally a surprise visit, as they want you both there and sometimes even a neighbor or two, or maybe juristic person if you're in a condo. I believe you can get your marriage certificate from any amphur. -

Greta Thunberg and the Cult of the Omnicause: When Activism Becomes Performance
Greta Thunberg is a young woman, not a little girl. It's not her size or gender that worries anyone, but her poisonous antisemitic ideas. The risk is that some people who admired her stance on climate change could be influenced by her hatred of Israel and Jews.
