The government is watching. It watches where you go, whom you meet, where you worship, what medical offices you visit, what political rallies you attend, what protests you join, what books you read, what websites you visit and what causes you support. It watches through your phone, your car, your doorbell, your appliances,…

[ad_1] President Donald Trump failed in his efforts to persuade the U.S. Supreme Court into upholding his executive order on birthright citizenship, which would have stripped that constitutional guarantee from millions of babies born on U.S. soil. Now a Republican lawmaker is hoping to effectively overrule that Supreme Court decision with a proposed bill that would resurrect Trump’s unlawful order and place it in the federal statute books. As The Hill reports, “Indiana Republican Sen. Jim Banks on Monday introduced a bill that would codify President Trump’s Day 1 executive order reshaping the definition of birthright citizenship in the U.S.”…

[ad_1] America is celebrating its 250th birthday and hosting the world’s biggest sporting event this year. But these days, we are welcoming fewer guests to the party. Foreign tourism to the United States has slumped since President Donald Trump returned to office in 2025. The administration’s eagerness to raise barriers to people entering the country—even when they just want to come here temporarily to spend some money and then go home—is one likely reason why. That, in turn, is contributing to growing anti-American sentiment among travelers who might have otherwise vacationed in the United States. That latter issue seems to…

[ad_1] When Somerset Dwyer found a two-bedroom apartment in Nob Hill, she felt she had done the impossible. Having grown up four blocks from her new place, she would be moving to her first apartment after college, returning to San Francisco for the first time as an adult. She was excited to live in a neighborhood she called the epitome of “Old San Francisco,” with its diners and gritty bars she remembered from her childhood. But when she got there, she found that something in the neighborhood’s spirit had changed. “All of it was gone. Everyone works from home, and there’s…

[ad_1] Photograph Source: Standardwhale – CC BY-SA 4.0 The Palestinian national soccer team isn’t playing in this year’s World Cup. But despite a national and global crackdown on pro-Palestinian protest and speech, the games have witnessed an outpouring of support for Palestinians. Fans, players, and coaches from the likes of Egypt, Scotland, Brazil, South Korea, Morocco, Mexico, Turkey, Norway, Senegal, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Algeria, Spain, and perhaps all 48 countries playing have publicly shown support for Palestinian lives and their struggle for freedom and a return to lands taken since 1948. This comes after nearly three years in which the…
