Birthright citizenship has been part of our constitution for over 150 years. The Trump administration wants to change that. Here are the facts: bit.ly/44Tm6Mn
Birthright Citizenship Under the U.S. Constitution
The 14th Amendment has long been understood to grant American citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil.

EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.

It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.

Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

In March 2026, the first phase of the D Line Extension will open in Los Angeles a project once dismissed as impossible.

Philadelphia should take note: if LA can overcome decades of skepticism to expand its subway, the Roosevelt Boulevard Subway can become a reality in the 2030s.

Your reminder that credit scores in the US date to 1989. For much of their existence, race and gender were factors.

They were invented bc it had been made illegal to discriminate by race and gender in the US, so financial institutions wanted a facially neutral way to accomplish the same thing.

Feeling drained every Monday? The issue might not be time off—but how you use it.

Enter “leisure crafting”: setting intentional, energizing goals for your free time. Not to hustle harder, but to restore smarter.

"On Juneteenth...it is well to ponder that there is no longer any branch of government dedicated to protecting the life chances of those with less political power due to their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual preference, or sexual orientation.

This is deeply unfortunate."
The Supreme Court I got to know when I worked in the Solicitor General’s office understood its responsibility to balance the scales of justice in favor of the powerless. Today’s SCOTUS majority doesn’t seem to have a clue. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/does-the-supreme-court-exist-to-protect

Jack and Fiona watched as Trump and Musk turned the US into what they call “a fascist hellscape.” So they turned to tech to organize, creating @stickittofascists.com.

They're one of many mobilizing online. And as millions joined the "No Kings” protests, these tools were powering the movement.
