Andy, your line of thinking is too logical for them. Never mind the tech and record-keeping, who is going to manually connect the dots? US gov employee workforce is reduced because of THEM. They’ll just use the same tactics as ICE and police and racially profile people they think don’t belong
The states should also defy it, not only on principle but because it's literally impossible, our vital records system simply does not even contain the information needed to know if anybody is or isn't in the categories Trump made up in his decree.
I feel like if the Court tries to nullify birthright citizenship then House Democrats should commit to impeaching all the Republican justices as soon as they get a majority. Even if the Senate won’t convict, make them make a spectacle out of it.

How this demented asshole can even pronounce “civilizational” is more surprising than the imperialism
I am ratcheting down my social media, but let me just say that all European leaders except on the far Right should note that the U.S. now seeks regime change in their country; basically seeks to depose them. US strategy is to support the political forces that threaten liberal democracy in Europe.

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

Siccing dogs on people is a slave tracker thing, a Bull Connor thing, a police brutality thing, a jackboot thug thing, an evil abuse of both dog and man which only a fully corrupted spirit could enact.
My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Høeg states that vaccine mandates for school are fairly unique to the US, stating that Denmark, the UK, Germany, and Japan don't have mandates.

Germany mandates vaccines for school entry. Also, mandates don't emerge out of nowhere. They are there to address inadequate uptake of vaccine.

The federal vaccine committee has voted to end the recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B.

This committee has zero credibility and the process for this vote was chaotic.

Please instead follow guidance from expert organizations The American Academy of Pediatrics.

Research suggests “delaying the start of vaccination by two months could lead to more than 1,400 babies becoming chronically infected with hepatitis B in the first year of the change, which could result in 304 cases of liver cancer & 482 hepatitis B-related deaths among those children as they aged”
