Universities will keep sexual predators on the faculty because their "hands are tied by tenure." Turns out protesting genocide is all it takes to loosen those unshakable chains.

Star Trek fans basically have to pretend this never happened because Worf basically tries to destroy a planet because his wife wears a one piece swimsuit lol like he’s irredeemable he needs to go on trial for war crimes
Worf suddenly becomes a complete jerk and changes the weather on Risa in order to ruin his girlfriend's vacation. It's his most beloved episode! My vid all about it is now public, please share!

“In addition to Home Depot and Amazon, Hendrick Motorsports is also in the crosshairs after ICE approved a $2.2 million no-bid contract for twenty-five Chevrolet Tahoe SUVs with the company this summer.”
“Companies that have collaborated w/immigration enforcement agencies in various ways to aid Trump’s mass deportation initiative—whether through allowing ICE to raid their parking lots, taking on contracts w/DHS, or a variety of other actions—are starting to feel the rumblings of a consumer revolt.”

I think this is the point most missed. Right now I am a citizen by the constitution. To strip me of it requires an amendment, or SCOTUS making up bullshit; only the latter is possible.
If my citizenship isn't from the constitution, then I am a citizen at the whim of Congress, which will be stacked.

It really cannot be stressed enough that if we don’t have birthright citizenship we don’t have citizenship.
The only Americans who have any proof of citizenship are either naturalized adults or the tiny fraction of natural born citizens who are born abroad. Everyone else has birthright citizenship.

2/ Years ago, at a reception for a bunch of executive types (I wasn’t one of them, but I was there), someone seriously looked me in the face and said that giving women the vote was a grave mistake.
I’ll bet he’s said that before, and guys agreed with him.

This is why I stay away from people between Halloween and Groundhog/Valentines Day, especially ones regularly around children.

The spouse is out grocery shopping. He texted me to say that he saw a little kid picking up vegetables, licking them, and then putting them back. So that’s nice.

A neat thing about birthright citizenship is how it tests whether a person cares at all about the Constitution. There's no argument against it, birthright citizenship is the unambitious text, the obvious intent of the drafters, and the undisputed way it was followed for the past 150+ years.
I continue to think that Matty coming out against birthright citizenship a few months ago should have been taken as a major warning sign that the group chats have already decided to surrender on this.

In his excellent biography of William F. Buckley Jr., Sam Tanenhaus notes that "as far as white Southerners were concerned, both the Fourteenth and the Fifteenth Amendments weren't really part of the Constitution." In 1957, Buckley called them "inorganic accretions" (p. 380).
