Hello all-
Locking this thread because we'd like to keep things relatively on topic.
Consider supporting one of many native advocacy groups[1] who have been fighting this fight for decades.

Excerpt:
In the Trump administration’s arguments defending his order to suspend birthright citizenship, the Justice Department called into question the citizenship of Native Americans born in the United States, citing a 19th-century law that excluded Native Americans from birthright citizenship.

Haven't read the article yet but like, for this to make any sense would they have to acknowledge the sovereignty of Indian nations? Or would they become stateless people?

Like building the wall, Trump doesn't care if it actually gets done or not, or if it makes no sense. The goal is to be seen by his fans as taking "bold action" against against his enemies.
His fans will love him for it. When it gets struck down they will ignore the fact that it was never going to happen and blame Trump's enemies somehow. His failure will only prove how evil and tenacious his opponents are and justify even more extreme action.

This doesn't sound like it's about Indians but rather setting up an argument to give the Supreme Court cover to do whatever Trump wants when this eventually gets appealed to them.

Help, the absurdity.
Now that I think of it this regime’s actions do really harken back to the particular sense of outrageous, cruel absurdity that one gets when studying the 19th century interactions of the US government with tribal Nations.

I’d say this has got to be a real pisser to the Native Americans who for whatever reason voted for him. But the mental gymnastics they’re probably pulling is no doubts gold medal worthy.

If it reaches SCOTUS, Gorsuch will 100% not tolerate that, and he's to the right of at least a couple of conservative justices including the Chief Justice.

In a America, we had GI’s films and pictures to inform us on a personal level, those who knew ppl in service would then tell others and so on. Basically multiple sources reporting the same atrocities over the years and that’s history revealed on a personal level, I think …
