really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.

If we’re being generous on time, I drove from Columbus, OH to Seattle, then Eugene, OR, then LA, then San Diego, then back to Columbus in summer of 2011. About 7000 miles total over a month.

Thousands and thousands of people already are out of a job because American voters are careless with their part-ownership of the most powerful government in the world. Childish.

It's great that the president just spends all day yelling at his TV, and this results in thousands and thousands of deaths around the world. I'm glad this is how my country wants to be governed. This is good, actually, and I don't think we deserve to be swept under by the merciful floodwaters.

We bought Article II of the United Nations Charter with the blood of a hundred million human beings, and less than a century later, it's being sold for nothing by people who don't even understand what they're doing.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Amazing to come together as a labor movement standing up to ICE. The stakes are high. Recently, this administration's personal militia murdered a union member in broad daylight. Today, it gassed thousands of us members in Portland, preventing us from exercising our first amendment rights. UNLAWFUL!

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.
