i don't know when we all gave ourselves terminal lawyer brain but we have to claw back the ability to say "that is obvious bullshit, it's anti-constitutional, and doing it would obviously demand instant removal from the supreme court"

that's not a thing. the supreme court can't "decide whether to uphold" a constitutional amendment. shut the fuck up
The Supreme Court will ultimately decide whether to uphold the longstanding principle that grants citizenship to the children of non-citizens born in the U.S., following a legal challenge by the Trump administration. n.pr/48E1oko

Typical shameless, mealy-mouthed framing from the Times here. Citizenship doesn’t “elude the grasp” of people in the final stages of naturalization! It is being taken from them by sadistic scofflaws. Why can’t you say that?
Sweeping immigration changes by the Trump administration have resulted in the cancellation of oath ceremonies, the last step in the process of becoming a citizen. The actions are the latest attempt to tighten who can call themselves an American. w/ Orlando Mayorquín www.nytimes.com/2025/12/06/u...

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

My kingdom for a golem possessed by the soul of Thaddeus Stevens to be let loose at One First Street and allowed to do his work.
birthright citizenship is very plainly the law of the land no matter what the supreme court says. the supreme court of the united states as currently constituted is an illegitimate institution. democrats need to start treating it that way

I’m not saying I’d automatically vote for any politician pepper-sprayed by ICE, but it’s pretty fucking close. This is the second great civil rights battle of the 21st century and it’s pretty reasonable to expect our electeds to enlist.

This is a level of blood libeling of immigrants (and their citizen children, being lumped in as 'illegals') comparable to the demonization of Tutsis in the time immediately preceding the Rwandan Genocide, or the libels against Jews in the buildup to the Holocaust.

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-

THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.
remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears
2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.
