@melissavitelli It did occur to me. Who knows?

[Jon Stewart @jonstewart]

Good thing Trump didn’t willfully hand over the entirety of our country’s operating system to Elon and his…oops.

@NancyHunte54943 @piersmorgan Not in Britain.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Thanks, Elon. My salary is public, as is my financial report. But since you ask, when will you be releasing yours?

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

Anyone consider that maybe Elon’s mission, is for Elon to get what he wants, rather than the country to get what you voted for ?

It’s not a shock for Elon , or anyone, to put their personal goals first

Elon seems to be on a mission to protect brand Elon at all costs. No ?

Free Speech is everything. Until it’s anything related to Elon. Who has complete control over speech here on X

The censorship of the platform you adore is in the hands of a single person, who is on a mission to make himself the most powerful person in the world.

above and beyond the President of the United States.

@somuch2019 @gtdallas77 @EdKrassen And now the second time? They'll never respect or trust us again.

[Despi Ano Lo (she/her) @AnoDespi]

@gtdallas77 @EdKrassen Oh, you poor thing. We lost their respect when trump was in the office before. Then we spent the next four years getting some of it back. But now? Making the mistake of letting him back in the White House? They'll never respect us again. We're the laughing stock of the world.

BREAKING: Horror story hits the news as a toddler, mother, and grandmother are hauled off to an immigration detention center by Trump's goons because they were speaking Spanish — even though they're American citizens.

This is the worst case scenario...

According to a report from Telemundo Puerto Rico, the three innocent Americans were detained in Milwaukee and dragged off by U.S. officials.

A member of their family stated that they were minding their own business, shopping at a department store when they were detained. Their request to speak to officers was denied until they arrived at the detention center.

"My sister, speaking in English, explained that, not only are they American citizens, but that they are from Puerto Rico, they were born in Puerto Rico," said the family member. The individual spoke anonymously to Telemundo out of fear for their family.

The detained mother eventually produced documents including birth certificates, at which point the officials became apologetic — presumably because they're afraid of a lawsuit.

"I’m so sorry," said one official.

The family was then forced to call and pay for a ride from the facility, putting even more unfair strain on them.

It's still unclear which agency detained them, since ICE's mass detainment and deportation operations are being aided by U.S. Marshals, the DEA, and the FBI.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that the family should sue the Trump administration immediately — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

@danielj88530311 @PoutiainenMarko @GreyHuntley @JamesFLoveIV Oh, I'm sure.

[Despi Ano Lo (she/her) @AnoDespi]

@danielj88530311 @PoutiainenMarko @GreyHuntley @JamesFLoveIV It cracks me up how y'all hurl that like you think it's such a sick burn. You think you sound so very clever.

Hint: It is neither.

But y'all are just adorable when you try like that.

There’s a problem with President Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order, and it doesn’t take much effort to see it.

The Fourteenth Amendment reads, in relevant part: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

Trump’s odd claim is that a child born in the United States without at least one parent who is a lawful permanent resident or citizen is not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States.

But this is simply false.

Set aside that Trump’s EO would affect children whose parents are lawfully but not permanently here. Let’s look at the “harder” case: the children of illegal immigrants.

It should be obvious that even individuals who are unlawfully present in the United States are “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” “Jurisdiction” is just the applicability of legal authority to them and the potential exercise of state power against them.

People who are unlawfully present in the country can, of course, be charged with crimes, arrested, etc., just like almost anyone else in the United States.

There is not a person who doubts this, least of all someone in the Trump administration.

I include the word “almost” before “anyone else” two paragraphs above because the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” does exclude certain children: mainly the children of foreign diplomats, who, in fact, are generally not subject to U.S. laws. They have immunity that may or may not be waived by their home country.

Now, you may not like the fact that the Constitution broadly grants birthright citizenship to the children of parents who are simply, perhaps even temporarily, present in the United States, but that is the law absent a constitutional amendment.

We are a nation founded on the Rule of Law. The president cannot amend the Constitution (or laws) via executive order. Any unilateral effort by a president to change the Constitution is void. Only an Article V amendment can change it.

[Despi Ano Lo (she/her) @AnoDespi]

@EdKrassen They should all pretend to be his supporters, then he'll make exceptions. 🤣🤣

But seriously, he has no authority to change the constitution. Sorry, not sorry.

[Despi Ano Lo (she/her) @AnoDespi]

@wolfshenanigan1 @TomTbpsolutions @electMikeHarvey @EdKrassen Meaning diplomats and their families, and Native Americans living on reservation lands.
