Very good. EU member states are obliged to recognise same sex marriages of EU citizens who have exercised free movement rights.

Interesting development in Indonesia: Global Citizenship of Indonesia (GCI), modelled after the Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI), which allows foreigners of Indian ancestry to visit, work and live in India indefinitely.

Interesting citizenship developments in Indonesia.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Canadian citizenship can now be passed down to people born abroad, beyond the first generation, if the parents spent a cumulative three years in Canada before the child's birth. Still contestation around "intercountry adoptees" when it comes to passing down citizenship.

Interesting 🧵 and discussion on the risks of bots for survey response, including where the bots deduce from the questions what the survey is about and give the desired answers to confirm the researchers latent hypotheses … 😳

Just saw this today. This is a transparent attempt to KILL DUE PROCESS by lying about the job of immigration judge and stacking the deck through hiring only bloodthirsty lawyers who want to deport people. This comes after they pushed out over 100 judges deemed too likely to grant relief.

A horrifying graphic from Pew showing the fruits of the right wing war on public health. Only 48% of Republicans believe that vaccines prevent serious illness, while 80% of Democrats do. This is not a difference of opinion in science. This is the result of a ruthless disinformation campaign.

CR7, MBS, DJT and Elon Musk dining at the White House. What beautiful company.

The government is unable to give any statistical basis or evidence base for this "destination of choice" claim, beyond making the (different) claim that claims are going up in the UK and failing in the UK [while being higher in Germany, France, Spain and Italy]

Among the many things wrong with Labour’s immigration strategy, this stands out: to “fight” a few thousand so-called illegal migrants, Shabana Mahmood is willing to make life hell for hundreds of thousands of people who are legally in the UK. 🔗 theconversation.com/labours-plan...

Higher fronts on cars—especially SUVs, which now account for more than half of the European new car market—significantly increase the death rate when pedestrians and cyclists are struck, says a report issued today by T&E. Yes. Cap SUV hood heights and ban unsafe designs.

Gotta love how Jon Karl and ABC News had this graphic ready to go *the very moment* that Hassett rolled out his Walmart anecdote.

🚨BREAKING: A civil rights organization sued the Trump administration Saturday over a new policy barring nonprofits from helping new U.S. citizens register to vote. The lawsuit calls the policy part of a “broader effort to ensure that new Americans cannot exert their democratic will on the nation.”
