Trump officials cite white supremacists in bid to end birthright citizenship
Over a century ago, Alexander Porter Morse was among a trio of thinkers who spearheaded a failed effort
— steeped in anti-Black and anti-Chinese racism
— to erase birthright citizenship.
The Trump administration is reviving their arguments to make its case today, some legal scholars say.

The administration is citing arguments “built on a racist foundation,”

Trump officials cite white supremacists in bid to end birthright citizenship
An argument heading to the Supreme Court is built in part on a post-Civil War campaign that scholars say was steeped in anti-Black and anti-Chinese racism.

There's laws, there's permits, and there's Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. Outgoing double-failed Dutch government ignores judge, gives Schiphol another two years to operate without nature permit, and allows it even higher nitrogen emissions.
Conveniently arranged before the new coalition starts. In @… today.

Earlier today, we got back from a weekend in the woods. Unpacking Kid1's bag, we found an apple that someone had clearly forgotten in the side pocket several months ago. Somehow, Kid1 failed to notice the rotten mush while getting ready on Thursday.

Good Morning #Canada
On February 28th, 1838, a small band of revolutionaries crossed into Canada from Alburg, Vermont, and immediately declared the independence of Lower Canada (Quebec). An Anglo-Quebecer physician named Dr. Robert Nelson, who was elected general of the insurrectionists and president of the future Canadian republic, distributed copies of a declaration of independence and issued proclamations of new legislation. It's doubtful the newly liberated Canadians had time to read all this as Nelson and his band of 300 men were pushed back across the border in hours, and promptly arrested by the Americans. After his release Nelson tried again in November of the same year only to fail even more spectacularly. A reminder that #Democracy is fragile and has to be protected and defended, even today.
The Dictionary of Canadian Biography gives us an excellent view of Nelson's life and failed rebellions, to be enjoyed over your morning coffee.
