You think? It’s wild that anyone would think this IS constitutional.
A U.S. federal judge has blocked Donald Trump's administration from implementing the president's executive order restricting the right to automatic birthright citizenship, calling it "blatantly unconstitutional." https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/01/24/world/politics/judge-block-trump-birthrig…
U.S. judge temporarily blocks Trump's order limiting birthright citizenship
The judge's order prevents Trump's policy from being enforced nationwide for 14 days while he considers whether to issue a long-lasting preliminary injunction.

When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.

Grateful to Dr King for his tireless work for justice and faith-and-action alignment.

Awaiting evangelicals up in arms about this like they’d be if Biden or Obama had not placed their hand on the Bible. But there won’t be. There will be some excuse made for him as always. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the hypocrisy of my faith tradition.
He didn’t put his hand on the Bible when swearing in. Probably because that would set it on fire.

I watched Trump’s inauguration so you wouldn’t have to.
While Trump leaned heavily into words like "freedom & peace," his stated actions indicate major domestic AND international violence.
Here’s the breakdown, the fact checks, & the receipts debunking his lies:

Who else is vacillating between a desire to know what’s going on at the #inauguration and day 1 things to be educated and eyes wide open, but emotionally just cannot deal with the train wreck and what it means for our country? 🙋🏻♀️ Thx to those of you putting yourself through it and sharing.

You wont hear many US politicians cite this Dr. King wisdom & even fewer will act on it:
"I knew I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today: my own government."

Feels appropriate that even the weather is acknowledging the proverbial chill of today and what’s happening in D.C..
It's poised to be an unusually brisk Inauguration Day, with temperatures expected to be about 20 degrees colder than normal for this time of year.
This is on track to be the coldest Inauguration Day in 40 years

I mean… I hate that I agree.
I had very few concerns using TikTok while it was owned by ByteDance
I have a lot of concerns if it's owned in total or part by a US company

As a reminder, DJT started this whole call for a ban. He’s not a savior for getting it back online. He’s a grifter who will change his mind to whatever will make him popular in the moment. And sadly it feels like TT’s CEO kissed the ring. It all feels shady right now.
