An old thread is making the rounds again, so here's an updated version.
Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is one of the most enduring and adapted works of literature in history.
But did you know that he wrote 22 sequels?
Some are great! Some are trash! Some are bizarrely fascinating.

bad actors like wurman are why i think it is important to place the birthright clause in the full context of section 1 and section 1 in the context of both dred scott and the two decades of antislavery and abolitionist agitation and political thinking that proceeded it
The evidence is the text. All you have to do is read the Constitution.

During ratification of the 14th Amendment, senators discussed whether the Citizenship Clause would apply to the children of immigrants and resoundingly concluded that it did. The text and history all point in one direction and the counter-arguments are patently fraudulent. I am going to lose my mind

I've turned down crypto investment, because that shit is disgusting. I know where that money comes from, and what was involved in taking it. So I said no. Decent people say no.
Refusing to say no to collabs and investment from morally reprehensible people and orgs makes you complicit.

I've seen a lot of people saying "it's about brand visibility" or "Fortnite collabs with everyone."
As a business owner, that's bullshit. Literally everything you publicize and take money from is a moral decision. I've walked away from ad deals because I didn't approve of the company offering them.
