The Trump administration is reviving arguments from Confederate officer Alexander Porter Morse, a key advocate for the "separate but equal" doctrine and legalized segregation, to challenge birthright citizenship. Morse's 1896 Supreme Court arguments aimed to exclude Black and Chinese people from citizenship, and today's administration invokes his reasoning to argue the 14th Amendment doesn't apply to children born to undocumented or visa-holding immigrants. Critics warn this case, built on a racist foundation, could render hundreds of thousands stateless. Legal scholars caution this revisits a dark history.

Trump officials cite white supremacists in bid to end birthright citizenship

An argument heading to the Supreme Court is built in part on a post-Civil War campaign that scholars say was steeped in anti-Black and anti-Chinese racism.

The concept of "orgasm as a civil right" gained prominence with the women's movement of the 1960s and 70s, linking personal pleasure to social liberation.

"The civic-minded students wanted to effect change in Mississippi. Entering that library would boldly oppose the state’s unyielding system of segregation and highlight the disparities they experienced as Black residents."

Tennessee grandmother Angela Lipps spent over five months in jail after AI facial recognition wrongly linked her to bank fraud crimes in Fargo, North Dakota, where she'd never been. Police relied on a partner agency's AI system and additional investigative steps before issuing a warrant, but Chief Zibolski admitted "part of the issue" was overreliance on flawed AI data. Despite promising operational changes, police stopped short of a direct apology. This case highlights risks of AI facial recognition—false identifications can ruin lives and expose systemic flaws in law enforcement.
