I’m an AI PhD at Oxford wanted to move to the US for years, but it never worked out. Maybe I can share why.
To me, it feels like the US is making it harder and harder for Chinese talent to come or stay.
First, Trump signed PP10043, which meant I couldn’t go to the US for any graduate school. That’s why I had to turn down my Stanford offer and come to Oxford.
Later, I qualified for an EB-1A (the extraordinary ability green card). But because I was born in China, I’m stuck in a country-specific backlog that could take another 4–5 years.
Meanwhile, on the other side, I’m getting 3–4 emails from China almost every week. They offer high salaries, free housing, generous research funding, and even offered an astonishing amount of money just for me to come back and have a conversation.
I’ve always loved the American spirit. I truly believe my abilities could have a bigger impact there. But honestly, the whole process has been incredibly frustrating.
All of this makes me wonder whether I should just give up.
Why am I spending so much energy trying to go to a country that doesn’t seem to want me, when another country is doing everything it can to bring me back?
There are real threats to free and fair elections. Pay attention to what Trump didn't say. He's happy with them so long as he thinks he'll benefit.

Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.
Trump is seeking to remake Washington DC in his image; his face/name now on multiple gov’t buildings, as he makes “a monument to himself.”
Veterans groups, historic foundations, and more are suing to stop Trump’s ‘beautification’ plans. See 🧵for full video.

🛑 Can Trump legally nationalize the 2026 election? No
⚠️ Are there loopholes? YES!
See what is in the US constitution about elections, and what Trump can do to control them. 🙏 @trevors_history_reels

🇺🇸🇨🇦 Two groups of young Minnesotans were in mortal danger — and the Canadian Air Force didn’t blink. 🍁✈️🙏
This isn’t a one-off — it’s the same story over and over: 2 great countries that have had each other’s backs for generations. 🇨🇦💙🇺🇸

Ask any New Yorker or small business owner in the tri-state area: Donald Trump has always been corrupt. But in his second term, he’s taken corruption to new levels. We must win #midterms so we can investigate these dirty dealings and hold him accountable. https://t.co/VaxhfyO2it
When California was burning, Canada sent fire fighters, planes and assistance — not insults.
I was proud to meet them, and to thank them, when they would break for dinner.
As California and other states step up to repay the favor, we should do so without the threats and ramblings of a failing leader.
We should show some humanity.
But he’s so good at economy! 🤦♀️
The US Treasury is borrowing $155 billion monthly, with weekly interest payments reaching $24 billion.
The federal deficit for 2026 has already reached nearly $1.4 trillion, exceeding the borrowing levels of 2025. The national debt stands at $39.4 trillion, with interest payments up 13% from last year due to higher debt and interest rates.

Trump's latest election claims aren't really about 2020. They're about creating a pretext for what comes next. He's done this before: invent a crisis, then claim extraordinary powers to respond to it. This time, the target is your vote.

Here’s an itinerary we’d love to take! 🤣
✈️ The airport in Palm Beach FL is now named after Trump, so if you fly from DJT to Sioux City IA (SUX), this could be your itinerary! See 🧵 for another funny travel plan. (It’s funny because it’s true)

…And what do all these states have in common? 🟥 Republican run!
States were ranked on quality of life, and hard data like crime rates, air quality and healthcare, as well as childcare, inclusiveness of state laws, and reproductive rights.

This speech by @StephenM is so deeply evil it’s hard to fathom it coming from a White House employee. This is pure Nazism.
The in-group is “morally superior,” “ordered,” “beautiful” & “normal.” The out-group is “abnormal,” “scarred” & “deformed.”
The in-group goes to church on Sunday (Miller is Jewish).
The out-group is “violent,” “junkies,” & “predators”
This is precisely how the Nazis spoke about their political opposition. It is a full-throated commitment to eugenics as policy.
In reality, you just need to watch Miller to see everything he claims to be afraid of: hatred, jealousy & violence. He is the most “deformed” man in America.
Finally, when Miller brings up the boogeyman of “Antifa,” it’s important to remember the original “Antifa” were antifascists in Weimar Germany who were the first people sent to Dachau.
There is no left vs. right anymore. There is life vs. death.
—
“The leftist is fundamentally motivated by envy, by hatred, by jealousy. The leftist looks at what is beautiful and what is good and what is natural and is filled with envy and hatred.
The leftist looks at a perfect family with the perfect life and a perfect job and perfect kids who goes to church every Sunday and is filled with the feeling of inadequacy and jealousy and they covet and they turn those emotions ultimately into a desire to subjugate, to oppress and to inflict pain and suffering.
It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent antifa demonstrations and you see any photograph of those who were assembled to be blunt, not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism.
Why is that? Why? You look at two photographs and you see a normal American street, you see an antifa protest. Why did the people that are violently demonstrating? Why is there not one normal looking person among them? Every one of them through the course of their life and their decisions has scarred their body and their appearance in many different ways.
The point in which their outer appearance becomes a manifestation of their inner hatred. Trust your instincts to all people and cross all civilizations. You know what normal is. You know what beautiful is. You know what good is. You know that families are right. You know that children are precious and beautiful and must be protected. You know that the criminal and the junky and the predator is a threat to normal, healthy living.
This is so much deeper than issues about taxation and regulation, although they're incredibly important. It's about normal, healthy, ordered living. And the violent leftists for these deep-seated reasons, going back to the earliest wisdom taught to us in the Bible about coveting.
And I'm not talking about rich versus poor. I'm talking about a much deeper kind of coveting. Coveting people who are morally superior. Who are superior in the simple, truthful way they live their lives. People that they look at who are happy and ordered and peaceful and contributing to the communities.
That burns an ember in them and that's how you end up with the horrors we've seen throughout history. Where good families are dragged that into the street and executed.”
Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention.
“Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive.
We are very far off the cliff, folks.
The documents Trump cited don't even make his case - and actually refute much of it. But that didn'tg matter. No foreign regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president just did tonight to faith in U.S. elections.
