And who else?

Everyone, actually:

Under current laws, many Americans need to present some form of identification to register to vote. The act would require Americans show additional documents that prove their citizenship, such as a passport or a birth certificate.

You just moved? This little errand, updating your voting registration, just got a little more complicated, a little more likely to be a problem. Or a lot more likely, if you lost your birth certificate in the move somehow. Or if you don’t have the kind of settled life where you’ve got a file cabinet for these documents the government expects you to curate on their behalf.

It would be very helpful for my understanding to be able to see this content.

I can understand being curious, I’m curious too.

But it’s hard to imagine any circumstance that would make TikTok support’s responses seem reasonable in context. They’re claiming a right to remix your stuff (where “you” are a paying customer mind you) without your knowledge or consent, and then to disseminate that remix at their discretion.

The specifics of how they altered this ad are almost incidental by comparison.

What are the cultural imperatives and protocols when your roommate dies? Do you host a wake for him, in the apartment you’re about to be evicted from, since his name was on the lease?

Imagine suddenly being forced to move, at the tender age of 69, when you’re poor enough to require a roommate.

He’d have been born around 1939, pre-war from an American perspective, so “Silent Generation,” to the extent that means anything. My late “Silent Generation” father-in-law was the biggest Boomer stereotype I’d ever met.

Married white women, perhaps? Surely not all married women?

Thanks. Rumor has it, I have experience in this area also.

So, how often is a person who’s calling an SSA support line expressing these thoughts, exactly? Maybe that’s a problem in and of itself, you know?

Gen X will have paid into the SSA all their lives, and they’ll get nothing for it.

Gen X will spend their declining years working, to pay for the SSA benefits for the Boomers.

I know, I know what you’re saying: “Gen who now?” And that’s right, you’ve got it, that’s exactly how it is.

Talarico’s big bombshell: Talking about Christianity. The “Christian Nationalists” don’t want him doing that. He’s talking about the wrong kind of Christianity.

“Deep State Censors Texas Christian” would be the headline we need to reach the people who could benefit from his message.

Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador later issued guidance stating the “Everyone Is Welcome Here” poster violated the law. In an opinion published on the attorney general’s website and in an op-ed for Fox News, Labrador described the poster as “DEI messaging disguised as inclusion” that “mask[s] a comprehensive worldview that undermines parental authority over children’s moral development.”

This is an argument that the message is not the message. That the offense lies, not in what the poster says, but in what the poster does not say. This is an accusation of a thought crime.

Labrador argues that the sign is political because of its rainbow colors. You can read his op-ed here.

I want to hear some MAGA supporters explain how this sort of attack on society itself is exactly what they wanted when they decided to vote for fascism. I want to hear them explain what kind of future we’re headed for, where gangs of anonymous, unaccountable armed thugs can kidnap anyone, anywhere, giving excuses that the rest of us cannot verify.

This observation deserves all the airplay it can get.

You could get him to keep the secret forever: “Mr. President, it’s my duty to inform you that space aliens are real. But they only want to talk to Obama.”

$15 million for security for just this year? Is he commuting to work on a megayacht? While lounging in a hot tub full of Dom? Snorting exotic substances from the bottoms of expensive hookers?

It’s socialism for the powerful and austerity for everyone else.

And your IP, which ISPs can match to some sort of access point.

My point here is not to say that big companies are better; my point is, relying on the implementation details of software to keep fascism away from you is a losing strategy. The fascists are thinking bigger.

Is the owner of lemmy.zip going to be more likely or less likely than a billion-dollar company to go to court to challenge a bullshit administrative warrant?

If ICE is rounding up anyone who looks Hispanic, ignoring or dismissing their papers, then a new visa isn’t going to help, is it?

This administration is just 97 Karens in a trenchcoat

I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t think I buy that as a comparison.

Revocation of statutory citizenship would presumably come from an act of congress, revoking the citizenship of whole classes of people at once, like “everyone born on an overseas military base” or “everyone born on a US territory.”

In contrast, the administration is going after naturalized (constitutional) citizens in a systematic way. It’s not happening at a scale that has any policy-level meaning in a country as large as this, but it can create fear and uncertainty, a feeling of precariousness.

If you have some citizens with real citizenship and other citizens with provisional, revocable citizenship, then you have created a system, both in theory and in practice, with first-class and second-class citizens.

Yet I have a feeling those of us who really were born here are never going to have a citizenship advantage over the likes of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Patrick Soon-Shiong, and so on.
