Indigenous Americans were not allowed citizenship rights until a 1924 act of Congress recognized them as such.
You can bet Republicans will attempt to toss that out as well, for the purposes of grabbing land.

No "birthright citizenship" means nobody can prove they are a citizen. If you have any immigrant ancestor and you cannot prove lawful status at that time, even if it was 1830, you citizenship is in doubt.
Take this as far back as you like. The maximal consequence is that everyone must show a chain of citizenship or lawful permanent residency at time of birth for every ancestor to the point of immigration.

After much research and development I have made an offline version of ChatGPT.
Now you can save water and electricity while navel-gazing, and carry one of the world's most powerfully annoying AI chatbots in your pocket.

Nothing the Carney government is doing is good for the climate. Every single climate step they take is a deliberate step backwards. There's no hope for the climate here. None.

Killing the carbon tax was just our first clue. The Nobel Prize in Economics was won for proving it the most effective economic climate policy currently known, but the “genius economist” made zero effort to defend it. He couldn’t wait to bring it down. 2/

I've been referring to Carney as Harper's other guy in Ottawa, but maybe that's Poilievre.

Almost everyone I know is sick right now.
They’ve got a “bad flu” or a “nasty stomach bug”.
Almost no one will utter the word Covid.
It’s not too late to start wearing a mask.
It’s a great way to practice community care while keeping yourself healthy.
Ideally an N95 or better!

It can be scary feeling like the lone masker, but it’s worth it.
You will be healthier. You will be keeping your community healthy. You may even encourage someone else to mask.
Masking is community care.

I guess that in the US many still think that this is a nasty episode and that the dems will sort it out. That they haven't realized yet how impaired the system is, how inequality is reaching paroxysm, how it's all connected with deregulation and political corruption.

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.
