The Supreme Court’s ruling on birthright citizenship is a Trump power grab The implications for citizenship are complex. But when it comes to Trump’s ability to implement his policies, the result is dangerous.

“An infant would be a United States citizen and full member of society if born in New Jersey, but a deportable noncitizen if born in Tennessee.”

3/ The congress is now voting whether they would dissolve the congress board. If they vote in favor, this would remove the direct succession to the presidency from former president Boluarte to congress President (Jeri). If they vote in favor, another congress person would be the next president #Peru

2/ Dina Boluarte's successor is Peruvian congress president Jose Jeri, who has been accused of alleged rape. It's unclear how long he will last in power or how the streets would react. The congress failed to impeach her after the deadly crackdown on protesters Boluarte conducted in 2023

1/Peruvian President Dina Boluarte has been impeached.With a 2% approval rate, her allies in congress turned their back in less than 24 hours using as excuse the very real security crisis in the country.Congress members are likely focused in the 2026 general elections instead of the immediate chaos

One resident of the apartment building ICE raided told Reuters that agents broke down her door, then "told them to go back to their country and made a sexualized remark about Venezuelan women, she said. One of the agents hit a man in front of her son."

WOW. Remember this May video of a US citizen wrestled to the ground by ICE agents and detained for an hour despite having a valid REAL ID?

It gets worse. Two weeks later, ICE did it AGAIN — handcuffed him and detained him for 20 minutes despite his REAL ID. Now the Institute for Justice is suing.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
