Here's a short piece I wrote to explain to smart laypersons what the birthright citizenship clause is for and why it's in the Fourteenth Amendment. Excerpted from my forthcoming book. Ungated:
History Shows Why Birthright Citizenship is so Important
The 14th Amendment aimed to overturn restrictive state laws while making the Constitution more inclusive.

First of all her name is Kaitlan Collins and she’s far from stupid & nasty. Next, this nastiness from this cockroach of a president needs to be checked by somebody! Since when is asking a totally relevant question a problem? This isn’t his White House.

The salient part of Trump's latest dementia-driven tantrum is that he has, for at least the dozenth time, announced that gas has "just" hit $1.99/gallon
Since it's not true, he certainly could use a different lie. That he keeps repeating something old as breaking news - not good

Trump says he is combating drug smugglers by striking small boats thousands of miles from the US and killing 80+ humans.
If this was true, he would not have pardoned the architect of Silk Road nor the ex-president of Honduras who was found guilty of trafficking 400 tons of Cocaine into the US.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

Even if you grant Trump’s criticism of the edit of his Jan 6 speech—never mind that as the violence raged, Trump essentially sat on his hands for hours and arguably directed the mob to target his vice president—the answer to this can’t be to let Trump bully truth-telling into self-censoring silence.
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.
