During ratification of the 14th Amendment, senators discussed whether the Citizenship Clause would apply to the children of immigrants and resoundingly concluded that it did. The text and history all point in one direction and the counter-arguments are patently fraudulent. I am going to lose my mind

We need a 4-day, 32-hour work week with livable wages.
There is no reason that people need to be working this much.
People need time off to rest and spend with family and friends.

Iβm surprised more people arenβt talking about Don Jr receiving a massive loan for his startup from the Pentagon. I guess when thereβs so much corruption some things fly under the radar?

The Magical Animation of 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer'
The Christmas television specialβthe longest running in historyβwas groundbreaking in its use of stop-motion animation with puppets
This is a fun holiday read. Who made Rudolph happen? A Jewish copy writer; his Jewish composer brother-in-law; the BILβs neighbor who happened to be Arthur Rankin; and a Japanese animator who had pioneered new stop motion techniques. Now thatβs an American Christmas
