without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.
revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

The US is so cooked. Say what you will about US hegemony, but it was good for those of us living here that we had it. Now, we're ceding so much ground to other countries, and we are absolutely going to be left in the dust. All because some people got mad that they had to see some non-white people.

🇮🇳 renewable energy grew by more 3x ⚡️ demand – causing “coal & gas use to fall by 3.1% & 34% respectively”.
But demand for ⚡️ in 🇺🇸 outpaced renewables, “leading to a 17% increase in coal generation” 🔌💡

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that
Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.
