Cielo-Soule @cielo-soule.bsky.social · 04/07/2026July 4. Young, Asian, female color-guard. Wonder if there is sufficient "allegiance" here to win over Gorsuch and Alito? Or maybe we can just go back to the good-old-days of 1882 and 1924. 021
Cielo-Soule @cielo-soule.bsky.social · 10/01/2026I'm really starting to think that Trump is close to the eternal nap, that he knows this, and that if history denies him approval he craves, he is more than willing to accept opprobrium and infamy. He is burning it down on the way out. The point is to be remembered. The how and why does not matter. 082
Cielo-Soule @cielo-soule.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Musk's science fiction. Can't help but think of Cecil Rhode's famous "I would annex the planets if I could" when reading about Musk's juvenile pretensions regarding space travel. Its the old imperialism in e-dress: Deracinated men of means pursuing the purely personal under the guise of stewardship. 2170
Cielo-Soule @cielo-soule.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Birth citizenship ban? Wong Kim Ark (1898) stands in the way of any Trump executive action or Congressional statute on birth citizenship. Its anybody's guess how this U.S. Supreme Court might rule. But WKA was a rejection of Dred Scott, exhaustive on point and tethered to national sovereignty. 0141
Cielo-Soule @cielo-soule.bsky.social · 23/12/2023Impossible to overstate the command this man had, not only of the British political/intellectual history, but the entire Western canon - and then later branched out to the rise of religious conflict, settler-native relations in Oceania/New Zealand, etc. RIP. www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2... 280
