This is the same country that rounded up American citizens who happened to be of Japanese ancestry and put them into camps. Never trust it with your rights.

Trump and the MAGAS have been talking about this move for a long time, one among many which go against the Constitutional norm. The news media just made it appear open to debate. You made this happen by letting Trump get away with it.

Were Wong Kim Ark's parents LEGALLY in the U.S. when he was born? If so, then the jurisdiction they were subject to was the USA which could not deport them for being here illegally, which 8 USC 1227 authorizes our president to do to illegal aliens. #NotTheSameStatuteInQuestion. #MAGA #RememberDobbs!

The intent of the 14th Amendment wasn't to bestow citizenship upon the children of illegal immigrants. It was intended to grant citizenship to slaves.

nenulon.bsky.social•111 days ago

the decision to revoke birthright citizenship was not a new or unprecedented policy under president trump, but rather a continuation of existing federal law that grants citizenship to anyone born in the united states, regardless of parents' immigration status.

Trump's attack on birthright citizenship is an attack on America itself. Wong Kim Ark's fight in 1898 secured a core constitutional right for all. His great-grandson is right, Trump feeds off fear, not facts. Progressives will defend equality and the Constitution. #DefendBirthright

Waiting for the day when they give some BS excuse to take citizenship from Natives next.

I would like to see senator Langford's immigration bill that never saw daylight until now🇺🇸
It could save billions for taxpayers

Why is it always money with Americans and never about stability

NBC is COMPLICIT in the protection of a Nazi sympathizer.

They edited Elon Musk’s video from yesterday and EDITED OUT his Nazi salute.

NBC has bent the knee.

It wasn't a Nazi salute.

The 14th Amendment says it very clearly. I'm glad they sued this lunatic president. According to him, he can override the United States Constitution when it comes to citizenship. Melania Trump should give me a lesson about the 14th Amendment.

cynthiaajohnson.bsky.social•111 days ago

Thank you for sharing this very significant story.

dagchley.bsky.social•111 days ago

the notion that president trump's executive order targets deserving immigrants is misguided and ignores the complex history of citizenship laws in the us, which have often favored certain groups over others.

angeliquesophia.bsky.social•111 days ago

Tell me more about Trump's fucking laws Mr. Bott

redrebel.bsky.social•111 days ago

Fuck off @nbcnews.com

Y’all had NUMEROUS opportunities to speak truth to power BEFORE this shitshow came to town.

You failed.

Don’t dare try to weasel your way back into the public trust.

joekatz45.bsky.social•111 days ago

@chowleen.bsky.social did you see this?

chowleen.bsky.social•111 days ago

I hadn’t - thank you!

jeffm67.bsky.social•111 days ago

NBC why no put this on air?? To scared to report facts? How low do your stocks have to go before you do your jobs?

usa4trump.bsky.social•111 days ago

Clarify his parents didn’t illegally cross the border from Mexico!

If he wants respect, he has to deport his children first. There’s only one Trump child that would be a legal citizen

ironicunrest.bsky.social•111 days ago

Completely untrue.

mildlyfancy.bsky.social•111 days ago

The world hasn't felt real to me these last few months. We're literally at the beginning of a dystopia. This is gonna be a long 4 years. I can only hope we make it out okay, and y'know, ditch these fascists for good.

kamalaharrisbirder.bsky.social•111 days ago

All the countries in the Americas wanted immigrants. They actively pushed for more immigrants.

maligatr.bsky.social•111 days ago

BLASTED!

video3-bill.bsky.social•111 days ago

This will be 100 days of unwinding human rights, civil rights, citizenship, air and water pollution protections, FDA inspections, we are watching a return to the 19th Century for protections for workers, unions and child labor. The cult will be among the worst hit ignorant racists and gun nuts.

tourswag.bsky.social•111 days ago

don't have to go that far back... 4 of trumps acknowledged children were birthed by immigrant mothers

"anchor babies"

zhukoz.bsky.social•111 days ago

What the actual fuck was this, then 🤔

NBC, Trump’s long time partner, censored Elon Musk’s Nazi salute. Top is the censored NBC version and the bottom is the live version:

American Experience on PBS did an incredible documentary on the Chinese Exclusion Acts, placing them in political and historical context, part of which is US v. Wong Kim Ark. This is 1898! Here's a clip on the case. I heartily recommend viewing the film in its entirety.

Y'all edited out Elon doing a Nazi salute, fuck off.

freeamerica.bsky.social•110 days ago

When you start calling fascists fascists then we will take your "news" seriously....until then YOU are complicit in the downfall of this country....

beefyhaze.bsky.social•111 days ago

Fuck yourself NBC. Fascist sympathizers are fascist.

pjoy26.bsky.social•111 days ago

Excellent story
Ironically Musk was not born in this country and throwing Nazi salutes yesterday that are illegal in Germany , He has bought a President and thinks he has bought a country.

gloinjo.bsky.social•111 days ago

NBC!!! Be a leader in this fight to resist Trump and all he stands for! My God. What is wrong with you and the other news networks no longer being investigative reporting sources. One of you has to get the ball rolling. Standup for our country. Be outraged. Be a leader with courage & conviction!

igetblockedalot.bsky.social•111 days ago

spoiler alert, no one cares

hernandez888.bsky.social•111 days ago

An attack on the Constitution is an attack on We the People. Start up the militias. You're free people. Revolution is the solution.
