I live in a country where young Republicans joke about loving Hitler; where a sitting president keeps musing about going for an illegal, anti-Constitutional 3rd term; where people are being beaten and disappeared from our streets without due process; where a sitting POTUS orders the murder of people in boats in international water; where a sitting president took a wrecking ball to the nation's White House without any consultation with proper historical committees (and who lied to the American people when he promised that no part of the WH would be touched!); where Americans' health care is in jeopardy because the Republican Party wants to kill the ACA ---
And the Party of Trump is going after a legal American citizen because he is on track to become the mayor of one of America's greatest cities, and Trumpers don't like his politics.
House Republicans want to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship — and maybe deport him. That sentence should stop you cold. A sitting state lawmaker, now the frontrunner for New York City mayor, being targeted not for corruption or espionage, but for belonging to the wrong political movement.
The absurdity would almost be laughable if it weren’t so chilling.
Because this isn’t about Mamdani’s paperwork. It’s about the rebirth of a dangerous idea — that citizenship is not a right, but a privilege granted only to the “right kind” of American.
Representatives Randy Fine of Florida and Andy Ogles of Tennessee have asked the Justice Department to investigate Mamdani’s path to naturalization and to consider revoking his citizenship. Ogles even went so far as to post “Deport Mamdani!” — accusing him of being a “communist who will destroy New York.”
Their justification? That Mamdani joined the Democratic Socialists of America, and once called to free the “Holy Land Five,” a group of Palestinian-American charity leaders imprisoned since 2008. In their eyes, that’s enough to make him an “enemy within.”

To which the America I love should in unison be saying... F**k You to the KS of amerika, his syncophants, and their fascist ideology.
OT... I just saw where the butcher netanyahu has ordered a strike on Gaza. Ramping up hus campaign to fabricate BS to justify his resumption of ethnic cleansing/genocide.
It did not take long for the butcher to do what he loves. Murder Palestinians.
DO the Chinese know that American citizenship is their "right"?
Shaw... you live in a country up is down, in is out and our Vice President puts out a statement today, as Israel is once again bombing the Gaza Strip, that the "ceasefire is holding".
This isn't from the nut job with senility Trump, this is from the sane one.
i get it, our government lies all the time during military operations. Vietnam is a good example. But back then it took a few hours at least for the film and photos to get to the evening news.
Now it's instantaneous. Literally as Gazans are dying under the bombs Netanyahu ordered, Vance proclaim it's not happening, the "ceasefire is holding".
I'm not sure what's worse. The actual bombing or Vance's Baghdad Bob slobbering all over the president's boots while he grovels and tries to p[retend reality is not happening.
