A thoughtful piece from
@sigalsamuel.bsky.social
: "For you, the tricky question is: How do you get someone to realize that they’re in a dual state, when its darker half has not yet touched their life personally?"

The prevailing belief among legal experts is that ending birthright citizenship would require a constitutional amendment, that there is not enough support in Congress to pass one, and that Trump’s proposed executive order would not hold up in court.

The law is clear on birthright citizenship. Can Trump end it anyway?
The Constitution guarantees citizenship to nearly everyone born in the US. Trump wants to take that away.
