AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Well, I'm not going to lie. This took me eight days, and almost made me move to a cave on the edge of civilization, but I wrote an article about the Roberts Courts decisions in both the trafficking migrants to third country concentration camps case, as the birthright citizenship case.

Over the course of a single week in June, the 6-3 fascist high Roberts Court openly signaled SCOTUS’s willingness to let the Trump regime ruthlessly violate the constitutional rights of immigrants, including children with a legal right to American citizenship, while simultaneously eliminating every other court in America’s ability to stop the government from violating anyone’s rights unless they can afford a lawyer and get a case to trial, twice. At the same time, the Trump administration publicly declared their intentions to immediately begin ignoring the law to traffic migrants to foreign concentration camps, strip citizenship from people born in the United States, defund Dem-controlled sanctuary cities who won’t help Trump illegally kidnap migrants, block access to gender affirming healthcare for trans people, end enforce unconstitutional funding cuts in the broader US government. And then the Court closed up shop for the term."</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SCOTUS</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/JohnRoberts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JohnRoberts</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AmyConeyBarrett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmyConeyBarrett</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USConstitution</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/14thAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>14thAmendment</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BirthrightCitizenship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BirthrightCitizenship</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ConcentrationCamps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ConcentrationCamps</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Courts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Courts</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Law</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CivilRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nazis</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/RobertsCourt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RobertsCourt</span></a></p>

Weltschmerz à Gogo<p>A good case study in whiteness not only *not* being censored by the "woke mob", but actually being institutionally rewarded.</p><p>===</p><p>Preston Damsky is a law student at the University of Florida. He is also a white nationalist and antisemite. Last fall, he took a seminar taught by a federal judge on “originalism,” the legal theory favored by many conservatives that seeks to interpret the Constitution based on its meaning when it was adopted.</p><p>In his capstone paper for the class, Mr. Damsky argued that the framers had intended for the phrase “We the People,” in the Constitution’s preamble, to refer exclusively to white people. From there, he argued for the removal of voting rights protections for nonwhites, and for the issuance of shoot-to-kill orders against “criminal infiltrators at the border.”</p><p>...</p><p>Mr. Damsky’s paper includes arguments similar to those recently adopted by the Trump administration, including a call to “reconsider” birthright citizenship, and an assertion that “aliens remain second-class persons under the Constitution.”</p><p>It also argues that courts should challenge the constitutionality of the 14th Amendment, which ensures birthright citizenship, due process and equal protection under the law, and the 15th Amendment, which protects the right to vote for nonwhite citizens.</p><p>Mr. Damsky concluded the paper by raising the specter of revolutionary action if the steps he recommended toward forging a white ethno-state were not taken. “The People cannot be expected to meekly swallow this demographic assault on their sovereignty,” he wrote, adding that if the courts did not act to ensure a white country, the matter would be decided “not by the careful balance of Justitia’s scales, but by the gruesome slashing of her sword.”</p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/us/white-supremacist-university-of-florida-paper.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Qk8.Zdse.9h3KhkfNOqv2&amp;smid=url-share" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nytimes.com/2025/06/21/us/whit</span><span class="invisible">e-supremacist-university-of-florida-paper.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Qk8.Zdse.9h3KhkfNOqv2&amp;smid=url-share</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WhiteNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteNationalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/originalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>originalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fcknzs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fcknzs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NeoNazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NeoNazis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PrestonDamsky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PrestonDamsky</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/14thAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>14thAmendment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/15thAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>15thAmendment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BirthrightCitizenship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BirthrightCitizenship</span></a></p>

Adrianna Tan<p>Not lost on me that as birthright citizenship is being challenged today, it was because of Wong Kim Ark that we have it at all. </p><p>It’s AANHPI month, which we are celebrating at work. I complain these terms are arbitrary (and they are) but also they think we are all the same anyway. </p><p>While I can’t do a ton about national legislation, I can do a lot in my community. As an East Asian person, making space for South, Southeast and other Asians and NH (Native Hawaiian) and PI (Pacific Islander) people is absolutely what I want to do. I’m helping to organize some activities at work that spotlight other cultures in our alphabet soup. </p><p>Also RIP Henry Fuhrmann, whose exhortation to drop the hyphen in Asian-American vastly expanded and included people who can consider themselves Asian American. Undocumented people.
