    At some point the people will unify on a single point : demand the administration resign in entirety

    Until we do that and March coast to coast saying the same simple message this won’t end

      If not for double standards, Republicans would have no standards at all.

      The hypocrisy is baked into their ideology. They don’t need to be consistent, it is all about “winning” to them. Words mean nothing, except as a method to “win”.

    This crap has to be part of Krasnov’s mission to weaken and dismantle the US.

    The entire developed world has fertility rates well below population maintenance levels. Countries are going to need to attract immigrants to keep their work forces and tax bases stable, never mind growing them.

    The USA is going to have problems attracting immigrants for decades if not generations, unless some crazy shit unexpectedly changes for the better with our government.

        Funny how that’s almost always relevant in these messed up situations.

        But this might transcend that a bit. If we shifted to a decent system that put humans first, we would still need agriculture at the same huge scale even if it was managed by communities and co-ops. Many jobs in that sector that are filled by cheap undocumented migrants are already ones that Americans won’t do. I could see there still being an issue getting the work done.

        Of course, if individuals were more involved in the sourcing of their food and even worked outside on some gardening, it would benefit them greatly. We’d want whole education campaigns to help with that.

      People will still come to USA. Even if trump discontinues birth right citizenship people from third world countries will still want to come to USA whether illegally or legally. The thing is by denying citizenship to immigrants trump will be able to create an army of cheap labours and companies will pay him a lot more for those labourers. Because if you are illegal immigrant and want work to help your family at home you will be willing to do anything. That’s what trump and his friends want. They will hire cheap labour, pay very less, exploit excessively and then escape from the clutches of the law.

        This is enlightening on this dark, fascist move. It’s a bureaucratic way to implement slavery. Keep these humans on a knife’s edge to control them. Deport them or threaten to deport them at any time, to a foreign or domestic concentration camp where a corporation can leech off their family or the government to pay for their incarceration. Krasnov the Donvict indeed. This gets more dystopian the more I think about it. Their greed is an endless abyss of depravity. It’s like they’re controlled by a person with the human values of a diabolical pedo.

                I thought so too but with the warming trends we are experiencing at unprecedented rates the planet does not have time to adapt as well. We are now looking at a possible Venus scenario if this warming continues at this rate. If we look closely we are still increasing our load on the planet and thus increasing the speed of the cycle. Meaning all flora would not have the thousands of years to adapt to the warming as it has previously in earth’s history.

                We may just kill every live thing on the entire planet because of our greed.

    In dry bureaucratic language, the memo outlines a plan to revoke citizenship from the children of both immigrants who lack permanent legal status and many lawful residents, including visa holders, Dreamers, and asylum-seekers. It envisions intrusive federal review of parents’ papers—quite possibly in the hospital, before or shortly after birth—to gauge the newborn’s legal status. And it paves the way for people who spend their entire lives in the United States to be deported to countries in which they’ve never stepped foot, or to be condemned to the limbo of statelessness.

    I wonder how Marco Rubio feels about this. Neither of his parents were U.S. citizens at the time of his birth in the U.S… Perhaps he’ll be deported to Cuba?

      Logically, this combined with their insistence that they can revoke legal status means that no one’s citizenship is guaranteed. Everyone born in the US is descended from people who weren’t citizens. And those who went through a process to become citizens can apparently have that yanked away if the current administration get its way.

      If I were the next president and had to try and undo the damage these fascists are inflicting, I’d start by deporting the bastards behind this shit in all three branches of government, starting with the the Supreme Court. Maybe just drop them all off in Antarctica.

There will be all kinds of protest and they do aid each other at the least by spreading out government forces. I did not protest during the bush era so it has to be this record breaking level to get the levels we saw with no kings and will see this weekend.

      You’re forgetting something: laws and constitutions don’t matter unless those in charge of enforcing it agree with it.

      Enforcing laws, the Constitution, judgements from judges - all that is done by the executive.

      When there’s a fascist corrupt executive function, you get selective enforcement and convenient ignoring of parts of the law, serving the double effect of 1) keeping the corrupt executive in power and in control and 2) discrediting the institutions, furthering the corruption.

      Yay.

        There is nothing in the legal framework of the United States that allows any president to simply overrule a Constitutional amendment. The 2nd amendment exists to protect the others from an autocratic tyrant.

          Or you get a descent into a dictatorship that it’s almost impossible to organize against. Civil war is not inevitable, and I don’t see Americans being particularly eager to fight one. And the further the country slides down the dictatorship slope, the less likely it is that you can raise any kind of effective resistance.

            If that’s the case, then things will eventually lead to another world war. A country as powerful as the US deciding to go full-fascist, will not be tolerated by other world powers for long.

              Lmao no. Nobody cares as long as America doesn’t knock on their door first. You think Europe will declare war on America for enacting a MAGA holocaust, let alone put in enough effort to have even the slightest hope of success? And in that case, do you think China would do literally anything but watch and pit both sides against each other while they profit and maybe invade Taiwan? Geopolitics isn’t that simple.

                And you think the US won’t attack one of their allies, at some point? They’ve already said they would if they don’t get what they want from Canada, Mexico, Panama, and Greenland. Any one of those potential conflicts would lead to wider war.

                  Nope, none of them will. Canada could become a proxy war between Europe and America, but I fully believe that if push comes to shove they’ll be thrown under the bus. I mean, have you seen how Europe has treated Ukraine since 2022? As for the rest, those are non-starters. Mexico and Panama have nothing to do with Europe, and there’s no way Britain or Germany are sending troops over Greenland. America would need to attack European home soil for such a thing to happen, and America has self-sufficiency in holocaustable untermensch.

              Seems to me that the Western countries are busy trying to appease the fascists, when they’re not heading full tilt towards fascism themselves. What happens when we have a fascist USA, a fascist Russia, an authoritarian China, a fascist India, and a Europe that’s in large part fascist with residual packets of neoliberalism? Will Brazil and some African countries fight them all? Or will the next war be between the fascist world and the world that’s controlled by China?

                I think you are mistaking “conflict avoidance” with “appeasement”. The rest of the western world is trying to avoid open conflict with those countries…the US included. If the US, Russia or China were to attack any of them, though…there would be war. And the so-called “fascist world” are not capable of remaining functionally united. They’ll stab each other in the back as soon as the opportunity presents itself.

      In June, however, the Supreme Court expressly permitted the government to begin “developing and issuing public guidance about the executive’s plans to implement” Trump’s order. Acting on that decision, an immigration agency released the first stage of its “implementation plan” last Friday.

      From the article. This is basically their plan for once the Supreme Court allows it.

        The court didn’t actually rule that Trump’s changes to birthright citizenship are legal, they only ruled that the lower courts couldn’t issue nationwide injunctions to stop him.

          Is that functionally different in your mind? Perhaps it is slightly different if we assume they’re going to stop here and not take it any further but that seems obviously untrue so I’m not sure why the distinction matters.

            It’s different because the court is still likely to have to rule on the actual problem eventually. They might get around to ruling that Trump’s changes are unconstitutional, but they have this weird idea that the “harm” Trump would suffer by having his probably-unconstitutional plans put on hold while courts sort out their legality is somehow greater than the harm suffered by all the people who will be affected if the plans go ahead.

              This is like that time when the supreme court had to hold deliberations on whether the local police in an active shooter situation could take the gun away from the shooter, and potentially violate the shooter’s second amendment rights. They didn’t rule on it right away, but issued a ruling that lower courts could not rule on the constitutionality of disarming the active shooter, and had to allow the shooter to continue shooting until the second amendment implications could be considered by the supreme court. Then they went into recess.

              Edit: None of this happened

        That doesn’t explain how they plan to get around the 14th amendment, though. It just outlines what they plan to do, once they have.

          The Supreme Court, obviously. They will just explain how the wording is confusing and doesn’t actually mean birthright citizenship the way we typically do. Fact that they told Trump to start issuing guidance tells me they are going to tailor their ruling to that guidance.

            Actually, the way they worded that decision made it sound like they wanted to hear how they would go about doing this…“legally”. Meaning, what rationale could they come up with, that wouldn’t violate the 14th amendment. They are willing to entertain arguments to that effect, but aren’t just going to sign off on a direct violation of the Constitution.

            This latest outline from the Trump administration doesn’t do that. It just elaborates on what they would do, if they were allowed to proceed, anyway. But it says nothing about how they would actually circumvent the 14th amendment.

    Wow, what an “efficient” way to ruin people’s lives. For no reason but the cruelty itself. The UN list of human rights has been ignored completely by most, if not all countries. But everybody is supposed to be entitled to a nationality. Otherwise, where the hell are you going to live? A small uninhabited unowned island? Antarctica? So, in a disturbingly normal turn of events, the government has infringed upon its residents human rights.

      I don’t understand why this would be a massive problem in the USA. My country (the netherlands) doesn’t have birthright citizenship and it hasn’t caused any issues. Why would it be different in the USA?

        The Netherlands has citizenship for people born in the country while their primary residence is in the Netherlands which is pretty similar. It’s important because it was outright guaranteed in the 14th Amendment, which was written to make sure that formerly enslaved African-Americans had a nationality. The country also has an obscenely large and corrupt deportment force, ICE. The country has an extremely long history of immigration, which continues to this day. As far as I know, there’s a lot fewer people moving to the Netherlands, far fewer entering from non-European countries.

          That is not entirely true: https://www.nederlandwereldwijd.nl/nederlandse-nationaliteit/nederlander-worden-geboorte-erkenning

          The point that takes this as topic is: “Op de dag van uw geboorte woonden u en uw vader of moeder in Nederland. En uw opa of oma woonde op de dag dat uw vader of moeder werd geboren ook in Nederland.”

          Which translates to

          “On the day you were born, you and your father or mother lived in the Netherlands. And your grandfather or grandmother lived on the day your father or mother was born in the Netherlands.”

          So it’s not as simple as you put it, there’s an extra step there in the form of a grandparent.

            Oh, that makes sense. I probably misread the site. Mb. Anyways, the US is hypothetically supposed to be inclusive of different cultures and easy enough to immigrate to. It’s not. It’a had better moments though.

        I don’t think most women could be desperate enough to join Elon’s harem. But then again, plenty of women in significantly less dire situations have in fact joined his harem.
