i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

We restored the zip ties on baby Jesus. The #Christmas story is literally about an authoritarian ruler using violence, causing fear, and eventually driving the holy family to become refugees in Egypt. The parallels couldn't be more clear between scripture and our nativity. We're not going anywhere.

Hiya! I write about queers (mainly lesbians) either experiencing or perpetuating horrible things (up to and including murdering/mutilating neo-nazis and eugenicists 😌). A novelette of the former kind is TBA; of the latter, my debut vampire pulp novella MINTY FRESH will soon be out in paperback 🔪🩸

“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”

The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.

It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.
