Here's a short piece I wrote to explain to smart laypersons what the birthright citizenship clause is for and why it's in the Fourteenth Amendment. Excerpted from my forthcoming book. Ungated:
History Shows Why Birthright Citizenship is so Important
The 14th Amendment aimed to overturn restrictive state laws while making the Constitution more inclusive.

Yep. That and the rich, “respectable” evangelicals knew how to launder their reputation in the legacy media by cultivating the right connections and funding the right junkets.
And playing themselves in the legacy media. Michael Gerson? Elizabeth Dias? Sarah Pulliam-Bailey? All Wheaton grads

this is not meant to be a diss against "East Coast professors," it's that these are just completely different ecosystems and the streams rarely cross - ofc that's one big reason the US media, centered on the East Coast, didn't recognize the flyover evangelical threat taking over the GOP for decades

Donald’s attempting to whitewash our country and erase all our history.
WE are the gatekeepers of the truth. WE need to be storytellers and not allow the government to dictate what our history is.

Still really hung up here. I've been to open-casket funerals for people who have had autopsies who looked more lifelike than Sly here. That's a hairline that would get you a C- in mortician school.

It’s bad enough that there are humans who come up with horrific ways to torture others. It is beyond comprehension that others will utilize them. It is even more barbaric and disturbing to realize how many people enjoy the torture they inflict on others. Humans are broken.

There isn’t much for our Supreme Court to hear, the Constitution is already clear. And just to be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.

Leavitt’s citizenship comments clash with SCOTUS
Karoline Leavitt: “You’re either a U.S. citizen or not — You can’t be a U.S. citizen & a citizen of another country.”
The Supreme Court: It ruled in 1967 that the government can’t strip U.S. citizenship unless a person voluntarily relinquishes it.

Hopefully the blue states will withhold money that is to go to the federal government.
Trump’s USDA is threatening to withhold food stamp funding for 20 Democrat-controlled states if they don’t share recipients’ sensitive personal data.
Yes: Trump is weaponizing hunger against millions of Americans, including children, to score cheap political points.
The cruelty is endless.

Someone asked me a good question on here. How do we stop ICE from violating our constitutional rights. We don't. Our local elected officials do that job. Our Governor, or Sheriffs our mayors, Police. They stop ICE. With force if necessary. That's how you stop ICE from pulling us out of our homes.
