It’s just one person, fighting like hell to expose the truth and give you the weapons to push back.
If you value what you just read—if you want this movement to keep growing, keep calling out fascism without fear, and keep fighting for the future we deserve—then I need your support.
Join the fight. Become a supporter. Every contribution keeps this mission alive.

DOGE v. The Constitution
🔴 UPDATE: February 13, 2025
A federal judge in Massachusetts has issued a preliminary injunction blocking Trump’s executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship. This marks the fourth federal court ruling against the administration’s efforts to unilaterally strip citizenship rights from those born in the U.S.
Judge Leo Sorokin ruled that the 14th Amendment explicitly guarantees birthright citizenship, and that Trump’s order directly violates the Constitution. Similar rulings have been issued by judges in New Hampshire, Washington state, and Maryland.

📅 Date: January 20, 2025
📰 Action:
On Trump’s first day in office, he signed an executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents. This unconstitutional move was immediately met with lawsuits from civil rights groups, states, and legal scholars.
🔍 Consequences:
Direct Constitutional Violation: The 14th Amendment explicitly states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."
Judicial Pushback: Federal courts have repeatedly blocked this attempt to rewrite the Constitution through executive action.
Escalation of Legal Battles: The Trump administration is expected to appeal these rulings, potentially taking the fight to the Supreme Court.
🚨 Why This Matters:
This isn’t just about birthright citizenship—it’s about whether a sitting president can override the Constitution through executive orders. Trump and Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are openly attacking the foundations of American democracy to reshape the country to fit their authoritarian agenda.
