more confirmation that lurking clearly behind this idea of the “heritage american” is a straightforward contempt for the actual history and tradition of this country, such that vermeule has to hallucinate a framework to justify his desire to jettison the clear meaning of the 14th amendment
I had missed this latest delirium by Adrian Vermeule on birthright citizenship
'Common law?! NAH, it's the Roman law of adoption that should govern the interpretation of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution!'

NYT provides no evidence here, probably because the claim is flatly untrue. See eg recent Pew data, or many posts on the subject from @gelliottmorris.com this year

Might be a day late, but this just came up. The 'Classic' Steeleye line-up from the late 70s. Maddie's voice just gives me the chills, in a good way.
Also, the first UK Singles Chart hit fully in Latin.

Hex is a great reading buddy 🥰
I love zoomies & wild play but it’s also important to show the puppies how to settle & be still, that’s something they’ll be expected to do in their homes. Some do this naturally and for some it’s more of a practiced skill. These little babies are natural snugglers!
