BREAKING: The Supreme Court in a 6-3 vote UPHOLDS birthright citizenship, affirming the default rule that all persons born in the United States (with narrow exceptions) are U.S. citizens at birth. A total LOSS for President Trump and the effort to rewrite the 14th Amendment.
Held: Children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States
and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause.

Scholars José M. Alamillo (@josealamillo.bsky.social) and José Luis Collazo Jr. tell the story of the 1970s Los Angeles Aztecs, which reflects the ways U.S. soccer has sidelined Latinos. Will this year’s World Cup change anything? zps.la/4vwQjvg

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Congrats, Erica Toffoli. I agree: it’s an eye-opening article. It was an honor to be on the same issue on the border patrol centennial in California History, edited by Benny Andres, @josealamillo.bsky.social , and Mary Irwin.

"What our profession most definitely does not believe is that the primary purpose of history is to instill a single notion of 'patriotic education' in our youth about 'our incredible Nation,' as the order demands." Correct. Trump wants propaganda, not history. newrepublic.com/article/1912...

There Is No Such Thing as the “Latino Vote”
Colonialism and racism fueled the invention of “Latino” as a category and continue to distort U.S. politics today.

The next administration is gearing up for mass deportations. When 'repatriation' happened in Los Angeles nearly a century ago, U.S. citizens were expelled.
