Beejieweejie she/her: I know someone who teaches citizenship classes, and talking to her is inspiring. In her opinion, her students know a lot more than most citizens do about the constitution and how the government works. 🙂

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

Did you know someone participating in the ceremony or are they things that people can just go and observe if they would like to?

it’s an event you can attend! open to the public

Very cool!

They're among the most uplifting events you can attend, and it's free! Strongly recommend doing it once to cheer on your new fellow Americans.

That's definitely true.

I'm curious what they think the supreme court is allowed to do, based solely on a reading of the Constitution.
