A thread on birthright citizenship I wrote in 2018, that unfortunately remains relevant.
I always thought this was where it was all headed. Abolishing birthright citizenship for the non-white and non-rich. And why I teach on United States v. Wong Kim Ark every semester.

This TikTok account is of Mexican firefighters helping battle these Los Angeles fires. I haven’t seen much coverage.

That time Rupert Murdoch endorsed Jimmy Carter (no, really)
It was the first time many Americans saw Rupert Murdoch using his news outlets to advance his interests — and a lesson in how a media mogul's outside financial ties can taint the editorial product.

🧵The man featured in Clarissa Ward's @cnnipr.bsky.social segment has been identified by Verify Syria as a first lieutenant in the Syrian Air Force Intelligence. He is believed to have killed civilians, detained and tortured young men in Homs, and now seems to be trying to rehabilitate his image. (1)
