In the context of immigration, isn’t the fact that the people who make it here often risk their lives and fortunes to do so, a pretty good sign that they are the most likely to want to participate in ‘American’ culture/democracy/etc.?

fixing the court is table stakes for any Dem running for national office, you are not a serious candidate if you can’t get on board with this and refusing to do so is disqualifying in a primary because it doesn’t matter what your policy positions are if SCOTUS will just overrule them

At any rate, the 4 justices willing to nullify a clear and vital constitutional principle are unfit to serve on the Court. They should be impeached and removed.

The Birthright citizenship ruling should be a wake up call to any Dem who is still on the fence about court reform. We are essentially one seat change away from the Court undoing Reconstruction by fiat.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

This was a race riot. Families were driven from their homes. People were targeted because of who they are and where they come from. Words matter. Those who fuel hatred and division bear responsibility too. We have more in common than that which divides us.

A statement from Ben Goldsborough which reads: What we witnessed in Northern Ireland last night was a race riot.

A Black family in County Antrim were forced to flee their home after their windows and door were smashed. A Ukrainian family escaped after their front door was set alight. On one street, hundreds of masked men carrying bottles and bricks set bins ablaze while chanting "foreigners out". The Fire and Rescue Service was called to 62 separate incidents.

We should be clear about what happened. This was not protest. It was organised racial violence. It had all the hallmarks of a pogrom.

The scenes we saw last night carried echoes of some of the darkest episodes of recent disorder in our country. We are also seeing our democracy come under attack from those who seek to spread division, whether through foreign influence, deliberate disinformation, or the reckless rhetoric of people calling for civil war and encouraging a politics of cold rage.

Words matter. Those with public platforms have a responsibility to use them carefully. Inciting hatred, stoking fear, or encouraging mob behaviour is never acceptable.

To everyone in South Norfolk and across the United Kingdom who feels frightened or targeted by these events, I want you to know that I will do all I can to stand up for our brilliantly diverse nation. Britain is stronger because of the people who have chosen to make their lives here, contribute to our communities, and call this country home.

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the murder of Jo Cox. At moments like this, her words deserve to be remembered:

"We have more in common than that which divides us."

Those words remain as important today as they were ten years ago. We must reject hatred, stand together against racism, and defend the values of decency, tolerance, and democracy that bind us together.

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief.

The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

Democrats should go on the offensive about tariff refunds. People are upset about prices, blame corporations and demand that consumers get compensated not businesses. Tie it into corporate corruption in Trump 2.

This is a far simpler answer than people would like to believe. Trump issues the order via the National Military Command Center to the commander of Strategic Command, and then STRATCOM carries it out directly. There is no second vote, no veto, no check-and-balance.

We are terrorizing an entire country. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Families in Tehran are taping up their windows and sleeping together in rooms away from the glass. Their buildings have already been shaken by nightly explosions from the most sustained bombing in the capital since the eight years of the Iran-Iraq war. Some are rushing to buy
generators, concerned that new attacks could cause critical services like electricity and water to unravel.
The bombings and threats have left many Iranians living in fear not only of their own government, which killed thousands of people in a crackdown on protesters early this year, but their would-be American rescuers, who pledged at the beginning of the war to create the conditions for their government to fall.
A 43-year-old woman living in Tehran and undergoing treatment for breast cancer said she worried what intensified attacks on infrastructure could mean for her healthcare.
