Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism.
As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

Thanks @strictscrutiny.bsky.social for chatting abt birthright citizenship and a certain op-ed. Much more to be said on how birthright predates 14A, how Black Americans fought to end their exclusion, and how Reconstruction Republicans discussed immigration.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Participate in discussion groups, such as #AcademicSky. Post to them, but more valuably, comment on the posts of others. There are other similar groups, all ending in the suffix -Sky (you can search for them), but I've found #AcademicSky to be the most responsive.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.
