Council budgets are such a joke. Like it should not be possible for a council to go 'bankrupt' they should just have the money they need to provide the services required. This is apparently impossible in the 6th largest economy in the world.

They hit the nail on the head. Puberty blockers are typically prescribed for cis youth to alleviate the mental stress of starting puberty before their peers. Most of the time, there's no actual physical issue with early puberty unless it's extremely early.

People should have pushed back harder against gambling mechanics in games. It started with horse armor and now you've got sports games where people will buy $500 in in-game currency just to play a team's full roster. This is exactly the time to respond aggressively before it's normalized.

How is it possible for Harvard to get it this wrong? These students will potentially face more consequences for bringing pressure against Summers than he has faced from Harvard over any of this. It's infuriating.

"The students are facing potential discipline that could range from a private reprimand to being required to withdraw from the school" Instead of removing the guy who was buddies with a sex trafficker, they're investigating and going to discipline students who drew attention to it? Insanity.

They gutted the DOJ and the FBI and placed the bulk of the remaining agents and attorneys on immigration raids. They don't have the capacity to do what they want right now. All they have left are scare tactics and it's frankly pathetic.

what follows immediately after the birthright clause? the privileges and immunities and due process clauses? and what follows them? the equal protection clause. all of this is explicitly to say, "the declaration is the constitutional law of the land"

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

dred scott, in their minds, established the united states as a place of tiered citizenship and permanent inequality among americans. it was a ruling that said, in effect, that all men *were not* created equal and would *never* be treated as such.

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.

Read this: www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...
Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted.
Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.
