🤦🏻♀️ "#Arizona Senate Passes Bill Preventing Presidents From Ballot Removal Under #14thAmendment
As states eagerly await the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on if #Trump should be allowed on the ballot for supporting an insurrection, Arizona Republicans took the first step on Monday to ensure Trump won’t be removed from their state’s ballot"
📌👀 Via Josh Gerstein:
JUST IN: #SCOTUS sets unusual, short-notice opinion release for Monday morning. Appears to signal that ruling on #Trump ballot eligibility is looming. #14thAmendment #legal
In a brazen display of defiance, #Trump’s #DOJ filed papers less than two hours before the 5PM hearing, telling Judge James E. #Boasberg that there was no reason for anyone to come to court because the administration was not going to provide any further information about the #deportation flights.

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.
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.
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.
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. People who don’t yet have citizenship, or won’t, or can’t.
