During ratification of the 14th Amendment, senators discussed whether the Citizenship Clause would apply to the children of immigrants and resoundingly concluded that it did. The text and history all point in one direction and the counter-arguments are patently fraudulent. I am going to lose my mind
The evidence is the text. All you have to do is read the Constitution.

Read the thread. @anatosaurus.bsky.social communicates so brilliantly and clearly. We must tell our own stories.
Authoritarians claim the power not just to tell all of our stories but to select the definitive story that says who we are, what our nature, why we're here, in order to cast themselves as both forever hero protagonists while also endlessly victimized.

For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

49 POINTS. 9 TRIPLES. 🤯
Stephen Curry records his second-straight 40-point game for the 1st time since November 2022!
He is now 1 of 2 players in NBA history to record back-to-back games of 45+ points after turning 35 years old!
The other? Michael Jordan.

I'm catching up on a few stray elections on my list I hadn't checked, and:
Democrats swept all 9 city council seats in Cincinnati last week.
They've had an all-Dem council since 2023, but the GOP was hoping to gain back some presence.
