Birthright citizenship has always been a Black issue. Immigrants & descendants of American slavery. We haven't had full citizenship long. Our citizenship never stopped being conditional & can be snatched. Our ancestors were not deceived they had protection as "real" Americans & we shouldn't be.

I woke up with a cold sweat when I felt something was wrong.
The SCOTUS decisions... They scare me.

I already miss our talks in POLS classes.
The debates, clashes- most importantly, the people.
That's why I've made this account- to keep in touch.
We have so much work to do.

It is honestly draining. My generation was told that we were going to save the world.
And now, that optimism is being put to the ultimate test.
While back in the 2016 I told myself, we're gonna make it.
Not everyone did.
In all honesty, we need a new approach to what is "American".

I've recently graduated from UIC. Even took the LSAT a week or so ago.
But in taking this break to just refresh after 3 long years as an undergrad, what's happening now is the Great American tragedy in slow motion.
An ideological chimera, clawing desperately to keep power.
