As we have seen for years with hostile policies, they don't make anything better for anyone, not for those seeking safety or the racists trying to deny them it. Those failures are then used by the populists though to boost their own messaging and gain ground. Everyone loses.

Gavin Newsom saying he doesn't take AIPAC money is deeply funny when he's one of the most reactionary and pro-Israel members of the Democratic party. Dude, you literally codified prohibitions on criticizing Israel in schools over the wishes of the teachers unions. Shut up.

Reminder that nationality may exist whether or not you’ve applied for or renewed a passport. A passport is merely evidence of nationality, it does not confer it. There are millions of dual citizens in the UK, many of whom will never have held a passport for their other nationality/ies.
Who decides if you're a dual national or not? Say for example you were one but decide to not renew your, to pick an example at random, Nigerian passport because you've decided just to call yourself British. Do you no longer count even though you could renew your passport in the future?
The Conservative party’s policy also includes stripping people of their British citizenship when they are found guilty of a crime ⬇️

We are going to see a lot more of this in the Irish courts if the government’s proposals to drive actual lawyers out of the business go through #speirghorm
A company director being pursued for €765,000 following the collapse of her packaging firm has been using artificial intelligence to “churn out reams” of legal papers, the High Court has heard.

Fun fact of the day: most Muslims in Michigan didn't actually vote for Trump.
They mostly called bullshit on the false dichotomy of choice that their only valid choices were to vote for him or his equally pro-genocide mainstream candidate Harris.
