You’ve probably heard about Planned Parenthood Southeast’s interim CEO, whose actions gave rise to concerns that the organization may have been subject to an anti-abortion infiltration. @susanrinkunas.com has previously unreported details today at @autonomynews.co:

The world's wealthy liberal democracies looked the other way on FIFA's corruption for years because they didn't think corruption in sports was a big deal or worth addressing, and now find themselves looking at FIFA as a powerful, increasingly-integrated part of the far-right anti-democracy movement.

what follows immediately after the birthright clause? the privileges and immunities and due process clauses? and what follows them? the equal protection clause. all of this is explicitly to say, "the declaration is the constitutional law of the land"

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

dred scott, in their minds, established the united states as a place of tiered citizenship and permanent inequality among americans. it was a ruling that said, in effect, that all men *were not* created equal and would *never* be treated as such.

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

again, the supreme court did not write the constitution (or the declaration) and—despite what you may think—they don't have the monopoly on the interpretation of those documents.

the people have a say, and if the court is out of step with the people, that's a problem for the court, not the governed

The Amazon driver displays incredible grace and kindness under pressure.

Imagine ordering cheap goods from the billionaire owned corporation and then threatening the person who delivers it to you?

really the question is: how do you determine citizenship without birthright citizenship and what do you about the previous 150+ years of birthright citizenship?

birthright citizenship is genius or at least it has ended up being genius - solves a lot of problems, basically eliminating nuance
telling the story of birthright citizenship through the lens of dred scott and the immigration act of 1924 would be interesting

This DHS post in a fashy font features the sizzle reel of the raid on the Chicago apartment building, set to a cover of “Jesus Walks,” a song by Ye…an artist originally from Chicago who is now best known for his “Christian,” pro-Hitler stance. Very subtle.
