You could write this. Or you could write: “That notion, which has been the rule in nearly every country in the Western Hemisphere for over a century, is grounded in the language of the 14th Amendment.”

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Houses are too expensive for most homebuyers, but prices aren’t coming down because homeowners don’t want to sell at the price they bought at; they want to make money off of it. Private investment, which makes up a tiny amount of SFH owners, is a result of this situation, not a cause.
Remove the ability for private investment to own residential homes and the problem will be solved.

A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts.
The woman, Bruna Ferreira, has an 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt's brother.
Ferreira migrated with her family to the United States from Brazil as a child and is currently in custody at an ICE facility in southern Louisiana.
Michael Leavitt released a statement, saying that his "only concern has always been the safety, well-being, and privacy of [his] son."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x4qyokjtdzgl7gmqhsw4ajqj/bafkreiacyzixchgacpjse7wyra342opgjsvdxzqdrkxq55zzqah65zyeae@jpeg)

In 1776, approximately 50% of the humans who occupied the current continental US were Native Americans, and they did not inhabit a “wilderness” awaiting “civilization.” I’m also assuming the ~18% of all residents of the 13 colonies who were enslaved in 1776 aren’t being counted as “our ancestors.”

There was civilization in the Americas before the settlers arrived. The other work being performed here is to erase that and present settlement as the arrival of civilization instead of the annihilation of another
Neither Trump, nor half of his cabinet have “ancestors” who were in North America before the revolution. I’d guess that less than half of current US citizens do. “Your ancestors” is doing a lot of implicitly white Christian nationalist work here.

If this happened anytime in the 1990s or early 00s, it would be *the* scandal of a presidential term, and news of it would result in immediate resignation and the launch of Congressional investigations. Today, it's just one of a handful of outrages OF THE DAY.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
